Hampton Roads – Former University of Virginia football player Dr. William Hill has returned to his roots in Hampton Roads, where he is now practicing as a sports medicine orthopaedic surgeon. His practice focuses on treating athletes and active individuals, utilizing his extensive medical training and personal experience in sports.
Dr. Hill, a graduate of Lafayette High School, excelled in both science and math while also playing football and basketball. He continued his academic journey by earning a Biology degree from the University of Virginia (UVA). Although he attended the Indianapolis Colts rookie minicamp after college, his professional football career did not progress as he had envisioned. However, this did not deter him from seeking a fulfilling career in the sports sector.
Determined to remain connected to the world of athletics, Dr. Hill pursued various career paths related to sports, which included interests in physical therapy, sports performance training, and ultimately, sports medicine. His commitment to furthering his education led him to obtain a Master’s in Public Health from UVA. He subsequently enrolled in Howard University College of Medicine, where he earned his medical degree.
Upon completing his medical training, Dr. Hill undertook his residency at Los Angeles General Medical Center, gaining valuable experience in handling a wide range of medical conditions. To refine his expertise further, he completed a sports medicine fellowship at the Southern California Orthopedic Institute, where he had the opportunity to work with both professional athletes and high school sports programs.
Dr. Hill’s speciality areas include regenerative medicine, sports medicine, arthroscopy, joint preservation and restoration, minimally invasive joint replacement, and technology-assisted surgery. These skills position him uniquely to treat sports-related injuries and help athletes recover efficiently.
Now part of the staff at Hampton Roads Orthopaedics Spine & Sports Medicine, Dr. Hill expresses a desire to give back to the community that supported him during his upbringing. One of his primary goals is to serve the athletes in the area and demonstrate to young people that there are numerous impactful careers in sports beyond just becoming professional athletes or coaches.
As he begins this new chapter in his career, Dr. Hill is currently accepting new patients at his practice. His emphasis on providing high-quality care reflects his dedication to promoting health and wellness among athletes, both young and old.
