Biography: When I decided to specialize in elbow and shoulder surgery, I wanted to understand much more than just the basics. That's why I received fellowship training in elbow and shoulder surgery, and then became a visiting professor at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. There, I studied the most advanced techniques for the treatment of complex elbow problems. \n I enjoy clinical research and have stayed involved with it throughout my career. My patients benefit from my involvement in cutting-edge research and training on the most advanced technology available. That includes minimally invasive and arthroscopic techniques. These can address complex elbow and shoulder problems with minimal incisions and shorter recovery times. In cases where minimally invasive surgery is not indicated, I also complete complex reconstruction and shoulder replacement procedures. In some cases, I use advanced imaging to build anatomically correct joint replacement prosthetics. I believe every patient deserves a treatment plan that makes the most sense for their lifestyle and meets their treatment goals.

Biography: Through thousands of surgeries and years of experience, Dr. Kolovich has emerged as one of the region's most gifted hand specialists and while his reputation is one that's well earned, the journey there didn't always run in a straight line. Starting out in his academic career, Kolovich pursued engineering while attending Atlanta's Georgia Tech University with the goal of eventually working for NASA. But it was a side job at an organ and tissue procurement company during college that ultimately set him on the path to orthopedics. He would ultimately earn his engineering degree, but only as a stepping stone to medical school at The Ohio State University. Following a Harvard University Fellowship, he set his sights on Georgia and found his new home at Optim Orthopedics, specializing in the treatment of fractures, carpal tunnel, trigger finger and traumas. While Dr. Kolovich offers the latest in cutting-edge surgical techniques, he first explores all non-surgical options from physical therapy to regenerative medicine, including stem cell injections.
