Bonutti Clinic Orthopedic Surgeons now seeing patients in Highland

HSHS St. Joseph’s Highland has welcomed providers from the Bonutti Clinic in Effingham to the hospital’s Medical Staff. Dr. Peter Bonutti has begun seeing patients by appointment in the hospital’s Specialty Clinic.

Orthopedics is the care of the musculoskeletal system. This includes bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, nerves and the spine. Orthopedic surgeons use both surgical and nonsurgical means to treat trauma, degenerative diseases, infections, congenital disorders and sports injuries.

The Bonutti Clinic was founded in Effingham in 1989 and has “grown from just three employees to more than 170, including individuals who work at the clinic as well as those who service the patient care businesses that have spun off from it,” according to its website.

Bonutti graduated from University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, Cincinnati, Ohio. He completed his Orthopedic Surgery Residency at Cleveland Foundation, Cleveland. Along with his subspecialty training in Sports Medicine, Bonutti has completed a Shoulder and Elbow Fellowship.
