Robert Buth, P.A.
Orthopaedics
Physician Assistants are trained at medical schools and medical centers to provide approximately 85% of the services otherwise provided by a physician. My aim is to help prevent and treat sprains, strains, fractures, tendinitis, bursitis, arthritis and other ailments associated with the muscles, tendons, bones, joints and nerves. I strive to get patients back functioning in sports, work or everyday activities as soon as possible. When needed, patients are referred promptly to the appropriate orthopaedic physician subspecialist.
I received my Bachelors in Biology from Ripon College and did a summer Internship at the Mayo Clinic. I did graduate studies in Physiology at Marquette University. My Physician Assistant Degree came from the University of Wisconsin Medical School in 1995.
As a Physician Assistant I take histories, perform examinations, order and interpret tests, make diagnoses, determine treatments, prescribe medications and assist in surgery. I have extensive experience in joint injections and simple fracture care. I assist in major orthopaedic surgeries including fracture repair, joint replacements, rotator cuff and labral repair, knee ligament reconstruction, ankle reconstruction and spinal surgeries.
Professionally, I try to provide long term musculoskeletal care, treating current problems and preventing others in the future.
Personally, I have participated in football, soccer, rugby, basketball, volleyball, judo, boxing and karate. Experience in a variety of sports helps me understand the various injuries and training problems that can occur. I enjoy hunting, traveling and spending time with my family.
