Dr. Creighton is board certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery. He grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana, and became a diehard Notre Dame fan at an early age. After his freshman year at Indiana University, Dr. Creighton transferred to the University of Notre Dame, receiving his Bachelor of Science. He then attended Indiana University School of Medicine, and after graduating, he stayed there for his orthopedic surgery residency. Dr. Creighton then did two fellowships to specialize in upper extremity surgery. The first was with the Indiana Hand to Shoulder Center, focusing on hand, upper extremity, and microsurgery. The second was a Shoulder and Elbow fellowship with Florida Orthopaedic Institute.
