Dr. Julka's bio
This content was provided by Dr. Julka "I grew up in a military family traveling to a new city every couple years till I was 10 years old. Once my father retired from the Army we settled in Cleveland, Ohio where I completed the rest of my pre-college education. I continued on to a complete my undergraduate studies in Medical microbiology and immunology at the University of Wisconsin graduating with a bachelor of science. In my senior year I was fortunate enough to be accepted into The Ohio State University College of Medicine from which I graduated with Magna Cum Laude Honors (Top 10%). I was also very fortunate to be accepted to a prestigious Orthopedic Surgery training program at The University of Michigan Hospital. After 5 intense years of Orthopedic surgery training I chose to further my education by completing the Cleveland Clinic Hand and Upper Extremity Surgery Fellowship. This provided me vast experience in treating problems of the hand, wrist, elbow and shoulder which is the sole focus of my practice today. More recently I have been an Assistant Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at the University of Wisconsin Hospitals. While at the University of Wisconsin I took care of numerous complex hand, elbow and shoulder problems in a very high volume academic practice. During my time at the University of Wisconsin I was honored two years in a row with the Ozagaki Teaching Award. I was one of the youngest faculty to receive this award and one of the only to receive it two years in a row. Despite my wonderful experience, after several years, I chose to move closer to our family in Columbus, Ohio and was appointed Assistant Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at the Ohio State University Hospital. In my academic practice at Ohio State University Hand Center I take care of all disorders of the hand, wrist, forearm and elbow. I also see patients at Fairfield Medical Center where I have been given privileges. While at Fairfield Medical Center I provide comprehensive care for patients with hand, wrist, and elbow problems. In addition I also provide specialized care for patients needing standard total shoulder replacements as well as reverse shoulder replacements."
