About Us
Our Research Clinic
The ORCA team is built of a diverse group of individuals with different backgrounds working cohesively to fulfill your orthopedic needs. Our office staff leads active lifestyles and includes competitive athletes such as runners and endurance bikers. Their families ski, snowboard, bike, and play baseball and soccer. They understand how important it is for our patients to return to their own favorite activities. That’s why our Orthopedics Surgeon put our patients first.
BOARD CERTIFIED
The American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery
Even with a bump or two during my recovery from hip replacement surgery, I must say the entire process from diagnosis to surgery and followup was first rate. Everyone in your office, from Dr. Vermillion to the assistant at the front desk, was professional, friendly and helpful. There were never long waits, and both you and Ben Kennah were always available for guidance, before and after surgery, during and after office hours.
