Orthopedic Surgeon Specializing in Shoulder and Elbow Surgery in Newport News, VA – Paul Byron McLendon, MD

Dr. McLendon specializes in total shoulder replacement, reverse shoulder replacement and shoulder arthroscopy, as well as shoulder labral repair, rotator cuff repair, patch augmentation of the rotator cuff, superior capsular reconstruction, shoulder tendon transfers and elbow disorders. He is committed to serving each patient with the best care possible.

Dr. McLendon earned his medical degree from the Florida State University College of Medicine. He completed five years of residency training in orthopedic surgery at Mayo Clinic, as well as a shoulder and elbow fellowship at Florida Orthopaedic Institute. Dr. McLendon is board certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery.

After Dr. McLendon’s own shoulder injury in college led to years of disability, a successful surgery finally resulted in his recovery—and inspired him to become a shoulder and elbow specialist. A strong desire to help others overcome similar problems continues to fuel him today. Knowing that some conditions are not amenable to surgery, he believes all patients deserve the time to understand their problem and treatment options.

Born and raised in Florida, Dr. McLendon enjoys Hampton Roads for its strong sense of history, beautiful outdoor attractions, and warm, welcoming people. His favorite hobbies include weight lifting, distance running, swimming and playing guitar. Dr. McLendon and his wife have two young boys.

Dr. McLendon is phenomenal! He put me back together after I sustained a hard fall during a running race and shattering my shoulder, by doing a reverse shoulder replacement. He spent an extra hour in the OR a year ago to save as much bone as possible so he could reattach the rotator cuff muscles and give me the full use of my arm back! I am very active even at my age and love running and swimming- he went above and beyond for me and I will be forever grateful!

I have never had an issue with Dr. McLendon or his PA and have and would recommend them to anyone who is in need of a shoulder procedure. They are the best I have encountered and their patient skills are top notch.

Every care provider has been OUTSTANDING!!! Extremely professional, very committed to making sure I clearly understood all aspects of what my options were, what to expect, how to prepare for my treatment, they made me comfortable with what all the information they provided was AND in EVERY case, what they said would happen & what the outcome would be, was spot on exactly what I experienced.
