J. Jeffrey Poggi, MD

I am a general orthopedic surgeon with a specialty interest in Sports Medicine working at Kernodle.  I enjoy and am experienced in treating all aspects of sports-related injuries to the shoulder and upper extremity, the hip, and the knee and lower extremity.  I also perform adult reconstructive procedures such as, knee, and shoulder replacements, and treat many fractures and other trauma-related injuries.  Born in Albany, New York, I was raised in the Northeast, attending Williams College before obtaining my medical degree at the University of Rochester.  I received my orthopedic training at Duke University where my wife and I fell in love with North Carolina.  We moved back to the Northeast, however, to be closer to my parents.  Recently, my wife and I returned to my “orthopedic roots” here in central North Carolina and couldn’t be happier.
