EXPERT CARE. CLOSE TO HOME.
DR. TODD BALOG ST. CLAIR MEDICAL GROUP
For Colonel Todd P. Balog, MD, FAAOS, a new orthopedic surgeon with St. Clair Medical Group, few things are more rewarding than helping individuals in his community.
“ There is absolutely nothing better than taking a person who’ s living their life in pain, restricted from doing the things they love, and within a matter of hours giving them a new lease on life,” he says.
Dr. Balog grew up outside of Houston, Texas, and headed east for the first time to enter the United States Military Academy as part of the class of 1999. Serving as a U. S. Army infantry officer for six years after graduation, his deployments included serving with the 82nd Airborne Division in Iraq and the 2nd Infantry Division in Korea.
Among Dr. Balog’ s numerous commendations are a Ranger Tab, a Bronze Star and the Combat Infantryman’ s Badge in addition to a Presidential Unit Citation, Expert Field Medical Badge and respective military campaign medals.
Inspired by a firsthand account of lifesaving medical care for wounded soldiers in Iraq, he applied to medical school and completed his medical degree at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Maryland. He met his wife, Rachel, in the military and now resides in Peters Township with her and their four children.
Dr. Balog specializes in hip and knee replacement with St. Clair Medical Group, an area in which St.
Clair recently received advanced certification from the Joint Commission.
St. Clair Health’ s consistent success with the more than 800 patients who receive total joint replacements each year is a driving force behind earning this advanced certification from the Joint Commission— after a rigorous on-site review of practices and policies that represent the highest standard of quality and value.
Dr. Todd Balog serves as chief of orthopedic surgery at St. Clair Health and is certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery. He practices with St. Clair Medical Group and sees patients at both Dunlap Family Outpatient Center on the main St. Clair Health campus as well as at the Peters Township Outpatient Care Center.
