Professional and Research Interests

Dr. Roy Guse is an orthopedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine and complex foot and ankle surgery. Dr. Guse has been practicing in Lufkin, Texas since 1997 and is an Adult Reconstruction and Joint Replacement Specialist. He brought to East Texas his extensive knowledge in joint replacement surgery as a result of his fellowship training at Hip and Knee Center of Fort Worth and thirteen years of orthopedic experience in the US Air Force. He spent his last 4 years at Wilford Hall Medical Center, San Antonio as the Orthopedic Deputy Department Chairman and Chief of the Adult Reconstruction Service. During that tenure he served as the consultant to the Air Force Surgeon General on advanced joint reconstruction.

Having conducted research on the osteoprogenitor effects of bone marrow cells and their ability to aid fracture healing, Dr. Guse is extremely interested in staying up-to-date with the latest orthopedic techniques to treat child and adult fractures.

Dr. Guse chose Lufkin, Texas to practice orthopedics because of the excellence and compassion of the medical community that is dedicated to offering the latest in cutting-edge joint replacement technology, such as Direct anterior approach flouroscopic guided total hip replacement and the Oxford partial knee replacement. Both of which shorten recover time.

“The Lufkin community is filled with many wonderful people and opportunities for my family and is close to my wife’s hometown. My medical philosophy is simple – treat every person with respect, teach you about your medical condition and offer you a variety of treatment options to choose from. My staff and I look forward to meeting you.”
