Board-certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery with sports medicine and shoulder surgery fellowship training at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, Dr. Christopher T. Behr practices on the seventh floor at 4060 Fourth Ave in Hillcrest as part of San Diego Orthopaedic Associates Medical Group. Shoulder arthroscopy, rotator cuff repair, ACL reconstruction, and total knee replacement form the core surgical menu, with post-operative rehabilitation routed to partners such as Spine & Sport Physical Therapy along Fifth Avenue. Behr serves as Head Team Surgeon for San Diego State University athletics and as faculty instructor in the San Diego Arthroscopy and Sports Medicine Fellowship, having earned his medical degree from Weill Cornell Medical College in 1991. Scripps Mercy Hospital on Fifth Avenue handles his inpatient surgical caseload, and continued rehab for total joint and arthroscopic patients is often coordinated through Scripps Mercy San Diego Outpatient Physical Rehabilitation on the same campus. The most demanding cases involve revision shoulder arthroplasty and multi-ligament knee reconstruction for collegiate athletes returning to full competition.
