Nicholas A Bonazza, MD, MHA

I am excited to announce that I have joined the team at Banner University Medical Group and the University of Arizona College of Medicine - Tucson.

I'm honored and appreciative to join Dr. John Elfar, a great leader and mentor, and a growing group of outstanding faculty to care for athletes young and old in Arizona.

I also hope to build on the work of leaders like Dr. Kevin Bozic, Dr. Eric Makhni MD MBA and others who have sought to better define and amplify value in orthopaedic surgery through data and innovative patient and physician engagement.

I am thankful for all of the support my family and I have received in this transition across the country.

It was a privilege to work with a great team of people in Grove city, Zelienople, and Cranberry Township to take care of the people of western Pennsylvania. I was honored to serve Grove City college, Grove City High School, and Seneca Valley High School and to be chosen as one of the top 40 physicians under 40 in the state.

I am both saddened and excited to announce that my career is taking a turn away from my home state.

I will be joining a great team of people in the Southwest where I looking forward to sharing my passion for research, teaching and continued excellence and innovation in clinical care.

Look for more updates in the next few weeks.

I am very honored by this recognition and thankful for the opportunity to help each patient get back to living their best life everyday.

I appreciate KDKA’s Chris Hoffman giving me a chance to help fulfill my goal of preventing injury, not just treating it. https://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2021/08/31/doctors-warn-against-milk-crate-challenge/

One of the ways we try to take better care of athletes is through an understanding of the most up-to-date research. I was honored to be a part of the team behind this study in the American Journal of Sports Medicine. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/03635465211000776

Baseball season is underway! Remember, the best way to treat throwing injuries in young athletes is to prevent them. Check out recent guidelines by age at https://www.mlb.com/pitch-smart/pitching-guidelines

Grateful to the Sharon Herald for capturing this yesterday. One step closer.

Taking a shot at COVID PINE TOWNSHIP – Frontline healthcare employees at AHN Grove City rolled up their sleeves Friday to receive COVID-19 vaccines.

Started my day signing off on some physical therapy updates, a good reminder that great care needs a great TEAM, not just me. A special thanks to the therapists in Grove City, Slippery Rock, New Castle, Mercer, Franklin and all around that keep the community moving.

Many of the young athletes we see sustain overuse injuries from a lack of time off. For some athletes, the break in sports may be the chance they need to heal, recover and recuperate. If you’re not sure whether training or treatment is right for you during this break, come see us and let’s talk about how to get you ready for when the season starts again

Facebook friends and family! I’m headed to more locations to help take care of you, your family, your friends, the guy at work that tells you about the crunching in his old throwing shoulder, etc.
