The U.S. Air Force Major helped lead surgical teams at home and abroad in his years of military service. He was even deployed to North Africa to help establish trauma care services in developing regions.<\/p>\n<p>While stationed at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado, the Auburn, IN, native and his family decided to return to the Midwest so he could practice medicine in a more traditional hospital setting. Dr.\u00a0Koenig wanted to be a part of the Beacon team because of our commitment to improving the lives of our patients.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a trauma surgeon, I usually meet people on their worst day imaginable and I make my best effort to heal them,\u201d Dr. Koenig said. \u201cI want to be your ally. It\u2019s my goal to make patients as informed about their care as possible. And I work with each patient to improve his or her overall well-being and ensure they are an integral part of their own healing process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His resume contains numerous Air Force commendation and service medals, teaching awards and even film and television credits as a surgical resident on \u201cChicago Trauma\u201d and \u201cChicagoland.\u201d But this humble, patient-centered doctor appreciates nothing more than seeing a patient back in their normal routine doing well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNever underestimate the value of faith and a positive mental attitude,\u201d Dr. Koenig said about what he has learned from patients over the years. \u201cI have seen people use horrible events to change their lives for the better and achieve remarkable things.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Click HERE to Access Recording Link\u00a0 Brain Injury Guideline (BIG) Criteria Presented by:\u00a0Justin Koenig, MD, FACOS, General &amp;
