Kathleen M. Grier—MD
Orthopedic Surgeon: Foot & Ankle
Specialties
Foot & Ankle
After completing her orthopedic residency training at the combined Creighton/ Nebraska Health Foundation Program, Dr. Grier received fellowship training in foot and ankle surgery, with emphasis on foot and ankle trauma and other complex problems involving the foot and ankle, at the Florida Orthopedic Institute in Tampa, Florida.
Dr. Grier’s special interest is in lower extremity trauma and reconstruction. She also participates in a teaching role for the orthopedic residency program.
When not working, Dr. Grier enjoys spending time with family and friends, cross-fit, golf, and reading. She also enjoys watching Creighton athletics and provides orthopedic support and care for Creighton athletes.
“Not every foot and ankle problem requires surgery. I take pride in offering and exhausting non-operative options prior to recommending or proceeding with surgical intervention unless otherwise indicated.”
