Return to what matters -you.

A small practice. A talented team. Time to listen. Experience to help you make the right decisions.

Dr. Beard offers the personal attention of a small, close-knit practice, with a focus on hip and knee replacement and complex revision surgery. He takes time to listen, understand your goals, and explain your options. His approach pairs thoughtful planning with meticulous surgical technique.

He graduated cum laude from Princeton University with a degree in religion before earning his medical degree at Wake Forest. He completed his orthopaedic surgery residency at Wake Forest Baptist Health and the Otto E. Aufranc Adult Reconstructive Surgery Fellowship at New England Baptist Hospital in Boston.

Outside of his surgical practice, Dr. Beard enjoys time with his wife, Laurie, whom he married in 2005, and their two teenage children, Griffin and Kate. His father was a first-generation college graduate, Army veteran, and mechanical engineer; his mother was a Spanish teacher and organist. Dr. Beard has a lifelong passion for tinkering and understanding how things work. That curiosity and appreciation for careful craftsmanship are a natural complement to his work in orthopaedic surgery.

Dr. Beard’s Christian faith shapes his commitment to caring for others. He views his work as a surgeon as an opportunity to serve the Lord through compassionate care, integrity, and careful attention to each patient.
