Daniel M Hoopes, MD

Dr. Hoopes has a special interest and in-depth knowledge on chronic and acute running injuries and injuries in other endurance athletes such as cyclists. As a former Cat 1/2 Pro Road Bicycle and Expert Mountain Bike racer, he understands the desire of an athlete to stay active and get back to their sport as soon as possible. He is pioneering a way of thinking about and treating chronic injuries to runners that goes back to the roots of biomechanics and seeks to exploit the unique endowments of human physiology. While many try to treat and prevent injury with always more expensive and more complex shoes and other equipment, Dr. Hoopes first looks to careful examination of form and stride and simplicity. However, when non-surgical measures have proven ineffective, he is able to perform operative treatment that gets you back on your feet. Dr. Hoopes and his wife have three children and love living here in Utah, where they can enjoy all of the summer and winter sports that Utah has to offer such as snowboarding, skiing, mountain and road biking, hiking, running, rock-climbing and water-skiing. They are also glad to live by so many members of their extended family.
