He is a sports medicine fellowship trained surgeon that has completed the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery Subspecialty in Sports Medicine. This intensive, focused training allows him to continually stay ahead of advancing surgical techniques and technologies. He is also certified in Mako robotic-arm assisted technology for total knee replacement and partial knee joint replacement. From simple arthroscopy to total joint replacement, he utilizes minimally invasive techniques and a sports medicine philosophy of returning patients to normal activity as quickly as possible.

Dr. Bollom was drawn to the medical field because he knew he wanted to make a difference in people’s lives. Whether he is on the sidelines of a high school game or performing surgery, he has positively impacted thousands of lives in our community. And when he gets to see a patient he’s treated out and about again, he says it’s the best feeling in the world.

Matthew Lilley, MD is an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in the study, evaluation, and treatment of shoulder, hip and knee injuries and conditions. A native of Central Oregon, he became interested in medicine at a young age after working on a hay farm with a local general surgeon.

Dr. Roth has experience in all facets of pediatric orthopedics, with specialized training in limb and spinal deformity, hip preservation, foot and ankle conditions, sports medicine, and neuromuscular disease management, as well as pediatric and adult trauma.

Children are not just small adults. Their growing bodies require specialized orthopedic care, whether treating a fracture or a complicated medical condition like limb and spinal deformity.

Dr. Roth’s early education and career was in the field of engineering research and development. After working as an engineer for seven years, he attended graduate school to obtain a biomedical engineering certificate. There he was exposed to medicine and surgery as a career, and found his true calling. He went on to pursue a medical education and was given the opportunity to translate all his life experiences into a meaningful and fulfilling career. His background gives him a unique perspective when treating patients, as well as the ability to integrate his engineering and medical skill-sets for continued clinical research in medical device development, scoliosis, hip preservation, and trauma.
