Dr. Eric McCoy says he has always held a fascination for physiology, biology, and the musculoskeletal system. As his knowledge grew, and he learned he could leverage these passions to decrease suffering and improve quality of life, he knew that medicine would be the perfect career choice.
As an orthopedic surgeon, Dr. McCoy treats fractures of the pelvis and extremities, as well as arthritis, bones that do not heal properly, and bone infections. “I unfortunately often meet patients following a traumatic event,” he says. “But I feel tremendously honored to play a role in the transformative process of healing and recuperation. It is a unique privilege to minimize disability and maximize rehabilitation for patients who have suffered from traumatic musculoskeletal injuries.”
Dr. McCoy is frequently asked whether orthopedic surgery is “barbaric,” but he likes to inform people that this type of surgery is actually quite meticulous and delicate. He takes great care to maximize healing potential for his patients, and is committed to being there for them each step of the way.
Dr. McCoy studied at UCLA, and completed his fellowship at Indiana University. He joined Beacon for its dedication to excellence, and for its focus on camaraderie and teamwork. In his free time, he enjoys hiking, running, weightlifting, and spending time outdoors with his wife and son.
