Lithonia, GA -- DeKalb Medical Hillandale welcomes orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist, Dr. Augustine H. Conduah. As a member of DeKalb Medical Physicians, Dr. Conduah brings world-class medicine to the community through his office, Stonecrest Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, conveniently located across from the Mall at Stonecrest.
Dr. Conduah is an esteemed member of the American Orthopedic Society for Sports Medicine and American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons. A member of The Hughston Society, he completed his fellowship in sports medicine at the Hughston Clinic in Columbus, Ga., a world leader in orthopedic and sports medicine research, education and treatment.
Prior to becoming a Hughston fellow, Dr. Conduah completed his residency in Orthopedic Surgery at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). He earned a Doctor of Medicine from UCLA as well, at the David Greffen School of Medicine, where he was named a Leonard Marmor Foundation scholar and received a Letter of Distinction in Surgery Clerkship.
Dr. Conduah offers care ranging from sports physicals to thorough second opinions and minimally-invasive procedures such as shoulder and knee arthroscopy in his office. Furthermore, he’s one of a select few surgeons who performs hip arthroscopy. Arthroscopy is an advanced treatment method using fiber optic technology that eliminates the need for traditional, open surgery, resulting in quicker recovery and more immediate mobility. He performs hip arthroscopy procedures as well as major surgeries such as total joint replacement at DeKalb Medical Hillandale, the first planned all-digital hospital in Georgia.
Clay Fowler, DeKalb Medical Hillandale’s Vice President and Administrator says, "We are extraordinarily fortunate to have a surgeon of Dr. Conduah's distinction practicing in our community. Now, the citizens of our area will not have to drive further to receive the best care. It is right here in our hospital. As we continue to invest in this caliber of physician our hospital continues to grow in new ways to serve our patients."
When Dr. Conduah isn’t in the operating room performing knee replacement surgery or reconstructing torn ACLs or seeing patients in his office, he’s out serving in the community. Whether it’s educating weekend warriors or those suffering from arthritis, Dr. Conduah routinely leads talks to inform people on the latest advances in pain management and injury prevention and treatment. He is the team physician for the athletics department of Arabia Mountain High School, one of the first planned green schools in the state, which is also located in Lithonia.
“Caring for my patients with enthusiasm and compassion, I focus on educating patients about their condition and helping them get the results they want. For some people that means simply not being in constant pain, and for others it may mean being able to play sports again,” shares Dr. Conduah, who treats all types of musculoskeletal issues.
Dr. Conduah and his staff offer patients convenient and caring service with rapid appointment scheduling and low wait times, and are currently accepting new patients. Stonecrest Orthopedics and Sports Medicine is located at 8225 Mall Parkway, Lithonia, Ga., 30038, across from the Mall at Stonecrest, just between Turner Hill Road and I-20. To make an appointment, call 770.482.3241.
