Dr. Doug Vermillion joined AFOC from Orthopaedic Research Clinic Alaska (ORCA) in January 2025. He is board certified in orthopedic surgery and has completed fellowship training in adult reconstructive surgery / foot and ankle surgery. (Fellowship training is the highest level of specialty training for physicians.) He has a strong background in total joint replacement, advanced biologics and sports medicine, including cartilage restoration.

Dr. Vermillion is proud of his 98% level of patient satisfaction, as measured through the SwiftPath Total Joint Program. His extensive experience in cartilage repair and biologics includes bone marrow aspirate as well as treatments that use a patients’ own blood to help heal injuries and other conditions. Platelets, growth factors and cytokines in the blood are re-injected to help stimulate healing.

Dr. Vermillion received his medical degree from the University of Utah School of Medicine in Salt Lake City. He then completed his internship / residency at Brooke Army Medical Center in Fort Sam Houston, Texas. He completed his fellowship training in Total Joint / Foot & Ankle at Kerlan Jobe Orthopedic Clinic in Los Angeles, where he also grew up.
