Hugh C. McLeod, III, MD

Steeped in tradition, Dr. McLeod carries on his family's legacy using medicine to serve patients, as well as the community. Dr. McLeod's dedication to young athletes has been a staple for Walton High School, where he started the Sports Medicine Program and has served as Team Physician since 1982. In February 2001, after 20 years of service and dedication to Walton's student athletes, the Dr. Hugh C. McLeod Sports Medicine Center was named in his honor. In 1985, he became the orthopaedic consultant at Georgia Institute of Technology's Student Health Center, and he has been the medical director for the BellSouth PGA Golf Classic since 1990. He shares his expertise and passion for medicine as an active member of the Board of Directors for the Arthritis Foundation, Georgia Chapter and the leadership board for the Osteoporosis Foundation.

Serving a range of patients from children and athletes to young professionals and seniors, Dr. McLeod stays abreast of the latest in orthopaedic surgery as a research and study analyst for multiple pharmaceutical and orthopaedic companies. He maintains active membership in numerous medical organizations, including the Atlanta and Georgia Orthopaedic Societies and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. Dr. McLeod is also an active speaker and frequent lecturer to academic and community audiences.

An honor graduate of both the University of Mississippi and its School of Medicine, Dr. McLeod established his Atlanta-based practice in 1982 following the completion of an orthopaedic fellowship in Adult Joint Reconstructive Surgery at Royal London Hospital. This highly sought after post-residency appointment also provided Dr. McLeod the opportunity to serve as the orthopaedic lecturer at the London School of Medicine. Prior to completing his fellowship, Dr. McLeod conducted his surgical internship at the University of Utah and his orthopaedic residency at Georgia Baptist and Scottish Rite Hospitals in Atlanta. Certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery, Dr. McLeod is a Fellow in the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. He has held a teaching appointment for the combined orthopaedic residency programs at Atlanta Medical Center and Scottish Rite Hospitals (now Children's Healthcare of Atlanta).
