Dr. Tilley earned his medical degree in 2004 and his orthopedics residency in 2009 from University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, Kansas. Dr. Tilley completed his orthopedic surgery and trauma fellowship at Regions Hospital/University of Minnesota in 2010. After a sports injury, Dr. Tilley was introduced into the field of orthopedics and sports medicine. The ability to have the opportunity of lifelong learning and the challenge is what ultimately led him into choosing this specialty within medicine. “Every injury is different, especially when it comes to orthopedics and trauma,” Dr. Tilley said. “Through my fellowships, I have learned techniques that help provide the best care and chance for recovery to my patients.” Dr. Tilley enjoys hunting, fishing and traveling in his free time.
