Dr. Justin Arnold is a fellowship-trained hand and upper extremity surgeon with extensive experience in treating conditions of the hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder. He has authored multiple articles and presented at local and regional conferences. His goal is simple yet powerful: to alleviate pain and restore function so patients can return to the activities they love.
A Chattanooga native, Dr. Arnold proudly continues his family’s medical legacy as the third generation of surgeons. Inspired by his father, a general surgeon, and his grandfather, an ophthalmologist, he knew from an early age that medicine would be his calling.
Dr. Arnold earned a Bachelor of Arts in English from Furman University, where he also played on the rugby team. He went on to attend medical school at the University of Tennessee in Memphis, where a formative experience working in a mission hospital in Kenya solidified his passion for orthopaedics. While in Memphis, he met his wife, Kelly, who is now a practicing family physician.
After medical school, Dr. Arnold returned home to complete his orthopaedic residency at the University of Tennessee College of Medicine in Chattanooga. He then pursued advanced fellowship training in hand surgery at the renowned Indiana Hand to Shoulder Center in Indianapolis, where he also served as a clinical instructor for Indiana University residents and conducted research on wrist reconstruction.
Outside of medicine, Dr. Arnold enjoys spending time with his family, mountain biking, and playing music. He and Kelly live in Fortwood with their three children—Vivian, William, and Coleman.
”Patients coming to us with hand and upper extremity needs are some of our most rewarding. Assisting our patients in returning to a life of independence and accessibility is always our primary goal.” – Dr. Justin Arnold
