Dr. Dalton is a third-generation graduate of Duke Medical School, so this line of work is in his DNA. After medical school, he did his residency at Duke University Medical Center Orthopaedic Surgery and his fellowship at the University of Pittsburgh Shoulder and Sports Medicine.

Dr. Dalton joined the South Carolina Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Center because it hires the highest-trained orthopaedic surgeons from the top programs across the country and he wanted to work with the best. He excels in Orthopaedic surgery, including Mako robotic-arm assisted technology for partial and total knee replacements.

“Knee and shoulder surgery are rapidly changing in terms of technique and robotics. I enjoy learning the newest techniques and Makoplasty and bringing the best of the best into my practice.”

In addition to his dedication to state-of-the-art orthopaedic surgery, Dr. Dalton is a team physician for several local high schools, Charleston Southern University, and the South Carolina Stingrays.

He takes great pride in watching his athletic patients excel in their sports after being injured. Likewise, he enjoys providing pain relief for older patients and seeing them return to full mobility after reconstructive surgery.
