He feels privileged to play a part in the remarkable healing potential of the human body.

As the first fellowship-trained Foot & Ankle orthopaedic surgeon in the county, Dr. Muir looks forward to providing a new and essential service here in our local medical community. Patients can now get advanced, specialist treatment right here in their back yards.
When he’s not engaged with his patients Dr. Muir loves spending time with his other favorite people, his wife and three daughters. They love the unparalleled outdoor recreation the area provides.
