About Me

A passion for science matched with his desire for a meaningful career led Joshua Rogers, MD, to choose a career in medicine.

Today, Dr. Rogers is a highly trained orthopedic surgeon at Avera Orthopedics in Sioux Falls, SD. He’s proud to be a part of our robust team of fellowship-trained and board-certified hand, wrist and elbow specialists.

“I get to use my hands every day,” he said. “My father and grandfather were carpenters. I feel like my work in orthopedic care is inspired by them.”
