About Dr. Peter Prokopis

Dr. Prokopis is a board-certified and fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon who concentrates his practice entirely on problems in the hand and upper extremity. Although Dr. Prokopis has extensive training in state-of-the-art surgical treatment for problems in the hand and upper extremity, he is very conservative in the treatment of his patients. He strives to answer all of his patients’ questions as clearly and concisely as possible. He will maximize nonsurgical methods of treatment for his patients prior to recommending surgical treatment. He graduated with his doctor of medicine degree from the Boston University School of Medicine. While there, he participated in orthopedic surgery research with the Boston University team physician Dr. Anthony Schepsis, with whom he authored his first paper. He then spent five rigorous years in the Orthopaedic Surgery Residency Program at Boston University School of Medicine. He was fortunate to be trained by some of the experts in orthopedic surgery. For example, he learned basic orthopedic science from his world-renowned chairman Dr. Thomas A. Einhorn, as well as intense orthopedic trauma and fracture training from nationally recognized traumatologist Dr. Paul Tornetta. His interest in the hand and upper extremity was sparked by his experience at the Lahey Clinic where his mentors remarked that he had a special gift that he should pursue. During training, he spent 6 ½ months at the Shriners Hospital where he did outreach clinics in Puerto Rico as well as the Dominican Republic. His fellowship training was performed at the world-famous Hospital for Special Surgery in New York. At HSS, he spent time with pioneers in the field of hand, upper extremity, and microvascular surgery. Under the direction of nationally known Dr. Scott W. Wolfe, this elite fellowship provided incredible training. Dr. Prokopis was a senior clinical associate in orthopedic surgery for Weill Cornell Medicine, teaching the physicians of tomorrow.

Sports Medicine North Peabody is a factory. They are rushing to see as many patients as possible in the shortest amount of time. The offices themselves are dated, smelled and felt dirty. I actually started cleaning off the counters, table and chairs while I was waiting. My visit was fine. The doctor was efficient and spent about 5 minutes with me. He moved so quickly I walked out of the office knowing Sports Medicine North Peabody is not the place for me personally. I did not rebook my follow up.
