Dr. Marc T. Galloway MD, FAAOS

Biography

Marc T. Galloway, M.D. is a board certified orthopaedic surgeon and sports medicine physician who has over 25 years experience in the treatment of active individuals at all levels. His practice is focused on athletic injuries, arthroscopic surgery and soft tissue reconstructive procedures of the knee and shoulder. Dr. Galloway received his undergraduate degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where he was a William A. Whitaker Scholar. He graduated from the Duke University School of Medicine and completed his orthopaedic residence at Yale-New Haven Hospital. He then completed a fellowship in sports medicine, research and rehabilitation in Cincinnati. After completing his training, Dr. Galloway joined the faculty of Yale University Medical School where he was an Associate Professor in the Department of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation and Chief of Orthopaedics for the Yale University Health Service. Dr. Galloway served as the Director of Musculoskeletal Sports Medicine, as the Team Orthopaedic Surgeon for Yale University’s 32 varsity teams and as an orthopaedic consultant for New Haven’s professional hockey and baseball teams and the ATP tour. He has been involved in the education of over a hundred orthopaedic residents and fellows.

Throughout his career Dr. Galloway has collaborated with basic scientists at Yale, the University of Cincinnati and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center to investigate ways to improve healing after tendon, ligament and meniscus injuries. He has been a member of a multidisciplinary team at the University of Cincinnati that received NIH funding to develop bioengineered replacements for tendon injuries and improved methods of tendon repair and was a recipient of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeon’s Kappa Delta Award, the most prestigious award given in the field of orthopaedic research. His team, led by Dr. David Butler, was among the first to investigate the use of stem cells for these conditions.

Dr. Galloway’s areas of clinical interest include the management of athletic injuries, as well as minimally invasive arthroscopic surgical techniques for the knee and shoulder, including the use of quadriceps tendon grafts for ACL reconstruction, and the repair of articular cartilage injuries and meniscus repair. In addition, he specializes in arthroscopic rotator cuff surgery and shoulder stabilization procedures for athletes of all levels of competition.

Dr. Galloway currently volunteers as team physician at Princeton High School, Cincinnati Country Day School, Reading High School, and Little Miami High School. Over the years, he has also been the head team physician for William Mason High School and Walnut Hills High School. He has been a member of the Connecticut Special Olympics Medical Advisory Board, and Chairman of the Orthopaedic Committee of the Connecticut State Medical Society. He currently serves on the Ohio State Medical Associations Committee on High School Athletes. He has been a consultant for the National Football League and the NFL Players Association and has been the Medical Director and Head Team Physician for the Cincinnati Bengals since 2011.

Dr. Galloway has been selected by his peers to be listed in “The Best Doctors in America” since 1996. He has been included in Cincinnati Magazine’s “Best Doctors in Cincinnati” since 2002 and was cited as a “Top Doc” by Cincy Magazine.

“I grew up in a small town in North Carolina. My introduction to orthopaedics came as the result of an ACL injury that I sustained when I was 15. I am fortunate to have had great mentors throughout my career and to have had the chance to work with and to take care of so many wonderful people. I have always strived to continually improve my clinical skills and to have a positive impact on the lives of my patients and my community.”

Dr. Galloway sees patients at our Mason, Montgomery and Kentucky offices.
