Daniel Hoopes, MD


Bio	As a former Cat ½ Pro Road Bicycle and Expert Mountain Biker racer, Dr. Hoopes understands the desire of an athlete to stay active and get back to their sport as soon as possible. While many try to treat and prevent injury with more expensive and complex equipment, Dr Hoopes first looks to carefully examine the form, stride, and other biomechanics of the human physiology. When non-surgical measures have proven ineffective, however, he is expert in operative treatments to help get you back to your normal activities. Dr. Hoopes prioritizes the health and happiness of his patients. One of his mentors, Dr. Sigvard T. Hansen, taught Dr. Hoopes early in his career, “Nothing happens for no reason.” He strives to identify the true cause of an ailment and not just focus on the current symptoms. Dr. Hoopes is attentive and delivers straightforward, honest diagnoses. He takes time to address even the most challenging problems and works with each patient to create a personalized healthcare plan. Dr. Hoopes and his wife have three children and love living in Utah, where they can enjoy all the summer and winter sports, such as snowboarding, skiing, mountain and road biking, hiking, running, rock climbing, and water skiing.
