Dr. Sterett has been a leader in orthopaedics in the Vail Valley for over 25 years. He completed his Fellowship training at Vail's Steadman-Hawkins Clinic back in 1993. After his fellowship training, he decided to seek a second fellowship in orthopaedic trauma, studying in Switzerland and Germany.  

Soon thereafter, his mentors Dr. Richard Steadman and Dr. Richard Hawkins offered him an opportunity to grow the two-person Steadman-Hawkins Clinic to its current size and world-renown stature. By 2011, Dr. Sterett had been a managing partner at the Steadman Hawkins Clinic for 12 years and was among the busiest ACL and complex knee surgeons in the country.  

True to his love for this mountain community, Dr. Sterett turned down some of the best known sports medicine centers in the country to join Vail-Summit Orthopaedics. He saw in VSO the same passion for community that has defined his career from day one. He recognized that his new colleagues at VSO are some of the best-trained orthopaedic surgeons in the world, and that they shared his devotion to putting the needs of patients above all else. 

Dr. Sterett has been the Head Team Physician for the US Women's Ski Team since 1997 and was The Athletic Training Fellowship Director and Founder at the Steadman Clinic in Vail. He has also served as US Olympic Committee Team Physician for the 2002, 2006 and 2010 Winter Olympics, and was the Medical Director, Eagle County School District from 1997-2011.
