Orthopaedic Surgeon

Board Certified

Fellowship Trained   

Daren   Newfield MD is a Board Certified Orthopedic Surgeon with dual fellowships in   Sports Medicine and Foot/Ankle Surgery. He is a diplomate of the American   Board of Orthopedic Surgeons. He has 25 years of extensive experience in   Atlanta covering Level 1 Emergency Trauma calls and in teaching Resident   Surgeons to become competent physicians. As a member of the Spine   Intervention Society, he is also adept in pain management modalities   delivering safe Cervical, Thoracic and Lumbar Injections. As a leader in his   field, he has served as Department Chairman of Orthopedics at Northside   Hospital and Vice Chairman of Orthopedics at Atlanta Medical Center.

After   completing his bachelor’s degree in Chemistry at Florida Atlantic University   in 1989. He attended Emory University School of Medicine and graduated in   1994. Like his father and both older brother’s before him, Dr. Newfield   pursued a career in Orthopedics. He completed his Orthopedic Surgery   Residency at Georgia Baptist Medical Center in 1999. He participated in two   separate fellowships: Sports Medicine at Alabama Sports Medicine Institute in   Birmingham under Larry Lemak MD in 2000 and Foot/Ankle Surgery with the   world-renowned surgeon Roger Mann MD in Oakland California in 2001. 

After   all his training was completed, Dr. Newfield returned home to Florida to   practice with his father in the family business of Orthopedic Surgery.   Treating patients and doing surgery with his father fulfilled a life goal and   made all the years of training seem worth it. Upon his dad’s retirement, Dr.   Newfield moved back to Atlanta to enter private practice. 

Dr   Newfield lives to help others. As a Chief Resident he obtained a Visa for a   young Romanian girl and her family to come to America for him to perform   multiple limb lengthening procedures on her. In 1998 Dr. Newfield volunteered   his time and travelled to El Salvador to perform spine and extremity surgery   on underprivileged children with deformities. In 2010 Dr. Newfield   volunteered his time to travel on a medical mission trip to Haiti after the   horrific Earthquake. There he saved many lives and limbs, but the poverty and   devastation left a lasting impression on him. 

Daren   Newfield MD has always had an extreme love of animals, even volunteering and   fostering many dogs through local charities. In 2004 when an abandoned puppy   with a broken femur showed up on his doorstep, Dr. Newfield performed the   surgery to repair the dog’s leg and adopted him too. Many years later, when   that same little dog needed open heart surgery, Dr Newfield flew the only   surgeon in the world who could fix his friend (and his 5 member surgical   team) from Tokyo to New York to perform the surgery. He and Tripod were   inseparable until his passing in 2018. Dr. Newfield still misses his little   buddy.

For   many years, Dr. Newfield and his amazing wife used to enjoy riding   skateboards together around West Midtown where they lived in a warehouse on   an old farm with dogs, goats, chickens, fish, llamas and a donkey. Now having   3 young children, the family has "grown up" recently and moved to a   house in Sandy Springs. Dr Newfield has a fabulous, beautiful, nurturing wife   and three loving, imaginative daughters waiting for him to get home at the   end of the day. 

Even   after 25 years of working surgical experience he still enjoys "fixing   broken things" as he calls it, with a smile. He treats his patients with   the utmost care and a tough love approach that has earned him much respect   from all of his students, patients and their families.
