Clayton Hodges, MD, is a board-certified orthopedic sports medicine surgeon at UT Health East Texas Orthopedic Institute. His goal is to provide integrated, compassionate care to ensure that his patients get back to their desired level of activity in a timely manner. “I believe in educating my patients to ensure they are able to make well-informed decisions about their own recovery.

“I got into healthcare after a career in biotech to have a more substantial and personal impact on people and their well-being. Orthopedic sports medicine is the field that I was most passionate about during my medical training, and I have not regretted that choice for a second. As Theodore Roosevelt once said, ‘Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.’ For me, that work is orthopedic sports medicine,” Dr. Hodges said.

Dr. Hodges is employed as a clinical faculty physician at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler under the UT Tyler School of Medicine.

Dr.Hodges is one of the most friendly, kind, patient and professional doctor I've ever met. He would take the time to explain everything with a replica of the skeletal knee, he made sure that I knew what was wrong with my knee. When I left the office I knew more about my knee than I did in high school. Also the nurse assistant and staff were patient, kind and professional as well, I would highly recommend this Orthopedic surgeon. Thank you all and may God bless you.

Dr Hodges just did my son’s reconstruction on his ACL and LCL!!! He and his office staff we so nice, thorough, and quick to respond to any questions or concerns! My son is 2 weeks post op and so far is on the right road to recovery! Can’t say enough good things about him!!!!

Truly the nicest Dr. I have ever met. He took so much time explaining every thing to me about my torn rotator cuff and answered all my many questions and even agreed to let me put off surgery, although adviced against it, for a less busy time in my farm life and ordered PT to try to help when I asked him too. Bless you Dr Hodges. I wish all Dr. were as kind and patient and caring as you are!
