Meet Dr. Briski
Biography
Dr. David Briski, an orthopaedic surgeon, grew up fixing things on his family's farm in Wisconsin. Originally wanting to become a commercial pilot, he decided to pursue a medical career instead. He completed his medical degree in Australia, where he published and presented his research, before going on to complete his residency and fellowship in the United States. Along the way, he mentored medical residents and elementary students and served as an assistant football coach. Dr. Briski is now focused on returning his patients to their desired quality of life by always striving to "do the right thing in the right situation" and never losing sight of his patients and their goals.
