About Dr. Barrett

Dr. Ian Barrett is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon with specialty training in sports medicine. His practice mastery extends to all arthroscopic procedures of the knee, shoulder and hip, in addition to knee and shoulder replacement.

He graduated with honors from the University of Pennsylvania with a Bachelor’s degree in Neuroscience, then attended Case Western Medical School, where he simultaneously earned his medical doctorate and a Master’s degree in Anatomy. He pursued clinical training in orthopedics at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota — with extensive training in joint replacement surgery and general orthopedics — and finished his subspecialty sports training at Stanford University under Marc Safran MD, Timothy McAdams MD, Gary Fanton MD and Jason Dragoo MD.

Throughout his career, Dr. Barrett has authored numerous peer-reviewed articles, research grants and book chapters. He specializes in sports medicine with a particular interest in helping active people return to their sporting lives — from the high-school football star to the casual marathon runner to the professional athlete. He has served as team physician for multiple high-school football teams, provided medical care at several major marathons, treated Division I athletes at Stanford, and most recently served as team physician for the Stanford men’s basketball team. Having a surgeon in the group means RegenCore can guide patients honestly across the full spectrum of care — and reserve surgery for when it is truly the right answer.
