HEALTH CARE

• Novatio has announced that Dr. Brian J. Carr, MD, has joined its team as an orthopaedic surgeon and robotic-assisted surgery specialist.

“We are so excited that Dr. Carr has joined our team,” said Dr. Michael Manning, owner and lead surgeon at Novatio. “Over the last few years, I’ve had the pleasure of working closely with Dr. Carr, and we both believe in patient-first care. With the addition of Dr. Carr to the Novatio team, we’ll be able to help more patients throughout the greater Las Vegas area and Henderson with our standard of care.”

Carr is a board-certified general orthopaedic surgeon who specializes in sports medicine and trauma, as well as hip and knee replacement surgeries.

After completing his orthopaedic residency at William Beaumont Army Medical Center and Texas Tech University Health Sciences in El Paso, he spent 18 years in the Army, including a deployment to Iraq with the 28th Combat Support Hospital in 2010, where he was recognized for his service in the treatment of wounded service members.
