🩺✨ The legend has retired. ✨🩺

After an incredible career spent helping people move better, feel better, and get back to doing what they love, Dr. Doug Vermillion has officially retired. His skill, dedication, and compassion set the bar high—not just in total joint replacement and sports medicine, but in the way he cared for every single patient.

Thank you, Dr. Vermillion, for everything you’ve given to your patients, your colleagues, and our community. Wishing you the very best in this next chapter—more fishing, more photography, and a whole lot of well-earned time enjoying both. 🎣📸

At AFOC, we’re continually inspired by the determination of the patients and performers in our community.

Ellie—one of the talented dancers in this year’s production of Snow White—has worked incredibly hard throughout her recovery, and her commitment has been amazing to watch.

We’re honored to have been part of her care team and thrilled to see her return to the stage.

Wishing Ellie and the entire company a magical opening night!
