After residency, Dr. Simpson obtained further specialized training in adult reconstructive procedures by completing a fellowship at the prestigious Houston Methodist Hospital under Dr. Stephen Incavo and Dr. Kenneth Mathis. Dr. Simpson’s fellowship trained him in minimally invasive and robotic-assisted knee replacement procedures and accelerated recovery protocols. Additionally, Dr. Simpson’s fellowship provided specialized training in hip preservation, hip resurfacing, and hip replacement surgery utilizing alternative surgical approaches to the hip including anterior, posterior, and superior approaches.

Prior to joining the group at Lubbock Sports Medicine, Dr. Simpson served as an attending physician in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery and Rehabilitation in the adult reconstructive surgery division of Texas Tech University Health Science Center, performing and teaching resident physicians advanced surgical techniques.
