Thomas Smedberg, MD, MS, is a Sports Medicine fellowship–trained orthopaedic surgeon at Wisconsin River Orthopaedics, caring for patients in Wisconsin Rapids and the surrounding communities for nearly 12 years. He is board-certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery and is a member of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Sports Medicine.

Dr. Smedberg’s path to orthopaedics began in high school after a football injury required care from an orthopaedic surgeon. The exceptional treatment he received left a lasting impression and sparked his interest in a field that allows him to help people return to the activities they love.

He values truly listening to his patients, knowing that understanding their story is key to making an accurate diagnosis and creating an effective, individualized treatment plan. By working together with the patient, Dr. Smedberg strives to achieve the best possible outcomes—whether that means getting back to work, sports, or everyday life.

Outside of the clinic, Dr. Smedberg enjoys following college football, participating in a variety of outdoor activities, and spending time with his family.

Our Story

Patients – and the doctors who refer them – like the fact that everything they need is right here, including a fully accredited onsite surgery center with state-of-the-art technology, open MRI, plus physical and occupational therapy. Most of all, patients prefer our personalized, one-on-one care. You see your own doctor at every visit, and your doctor and our staff are just a phone call away when you need help. It adds up to an outstanding patient experience. Patients take great comfort in the fact that we are the longest-established orthopaedic practice in the area, having served the community for almost 40 years. Drs. James A. Wilkes, James A. Johnson, Douglas P. Galuk, and Todd J. Duellman provide comprehensive orthopaedic surgical care. Our physicians have many years of experience and expertise in all areas of orthopaedics, including joint replacement, spine and sports medicine. They have treated thousands of patients with great results. Though our facility is every bit as professional as you would expect, it also has a homey, comfortable feeling, thanks in large part to our very personable doctors and staff.
