Dr. Kyriakedes was drawn to orthopedic surgery, specifically of the hand and upper extremity, for the opportunity to improve the quality of patients’ lives limited by injuries or degenerative conditions. Recognizing that our hands are the center of interaction with the world around us, he finds it extremely rewarding to help a musician return to music or a grandmother return to playing with her grandchildren. Dr. Kyriakedes always treats his patients as he would want his family treated, keeping in mind that many conditions can be healed non-operatively, while others require surgical intervention to minimize pain and to maximize clinical and functional outcomes. His goal is to tailor treatment to each patient’s unique situation and expectations.

Originally from Ohio, Dr. Kyriakedes and his wife both grew up visiting the Atlantic Ocean and have always wanted to live near it. Moving to Hampton Roads has fulfilled that dream, and they enjoy exploring all of the area’s unique cities, neighborhoods and water with their two boys. Dr. Kyriakedes loves outdoor recreation, traveling with his family and watching football.
