Jocelyn T. Compton, M.D.

Born and raised in a small town in Southeastern New Mexico, Dr. Jeana Summers attended Evangel University in Springfield, Missouri and then pursued medical school at Des Moines University in Des Moines, Iowa. She moved to Oklahoma City to complete her residency in orthopedic surgery, where she also met her wonderful husband. Following her desire to specialize in pediatric orthopedics, they moved to Phoenix, Arizona for a year to complete subspecialty training at Phoenix Children's Hospital. All these adventures led her and her family to the Pacific Northwest to join the excellent providers at Orthopedic + Fracture Specialists and call Portland her forever home! Approaching the patient holistically, as a whole unit, is key to Dr. Summers’ practice. Her training as an osteopathic physician has helped instill in her this holistic approach and has awarded her additional musculoskeletal training in osteopathic manipulation. Dr. Summers enjoys meeting patients, discussing their goals, and helping them achieve optimal success. Dr. Summers has special interest in pediatric sports injuries, spinal deformities, hip preservation, fractures, and lower extremity issues, including clubfoot. She is looking forward to serving the pediatric population of Portland for their orthopedic needs.

Explaining that the meticulous nature of hand surgery is a perfect match for his personality, Dr. McPherson Beall could also be referring to his entire approach to treating his patients. “The longer I’ve been in practice the more I’ve realized that the patient’s unique goals, social circumstances, and other challenges can be the greatest factor in determining the right approach,” he says. An avid cyclist who is married with two children, he goes to great lengths to listen to and communicate with patients about the range of treatment options. Understanding the patient’s goals, desires, and any impediments to recovery is essential. Dr. Beall received his medical degree from the University of Michigan, did his residency in Missouri and two fellowships in hand surgery in California. He treats a variety of issues of the hand, wrist and elbow, including trauma, arthritis, nerve injuries or compression (carpal tunnel syndrome), and management of the upper extremity in children with congenital differences. With an undergraduate degree in Philosophy from Stanford, it’s not surprising that Dr. Beall is driven by the intellectual challenges his job offers. “Sometimes the solution is surgical,” he says. “But many times it’s a matter of managing the symptoms while finding the right way to help the body heal itself over time.” Dr. Beall is a member of the American Society for Surgery of the Hand.

Enter the office of Dr. Jason Kurian and you won’t see the research articles he’s had published or a lot of certifications on the wall. You will see photos of young athletes he’s treated. “That’s what’s important to us,” he says. “We have this unique setting where we’re all fellowship trained and highly trained individuals but our focus is on the community. That’s really what we’re proud of.” Born and raised in Milwaukee, Dr. Kurian graduated from University of Michigan before attending medical school in Wisconsin and residency training in Ohio. He completed a one-year sports medicine fellowship studying shoulder, knee and hip arthroscopy and shoulder reconstruction at the Southern California Orthopedic Institute in Los Angeles and has performed hundreds of procedures to treat conditions such as severe knee and shoulder arthritis, torn rotator cuffs, shoulder instabilities and ACL’s. A former triathlete who has competed in the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii, Dr. Kurian is in tune to evolving expectations of elite and recreational athletes. He serves as the physician for Aloha High sports teams and treats patients of all ages. “My goal is to have you live a lifestyle that is fulfilling for you,” says the father of two. “We all need balance in our lives and if you start losing that balance because of an injury, it’s important to get it back.”
