General Info

Growing up in the shadow of the Wasatch Mountains in Salt Lake City Dr. Karrasch gained a love for the outdoors. He spent his childhood snow and water skiing, mountain biking, and camping. He gravitated to and excelled in sports becoming a Utah high school state tennis champion. He cultivated his love for sports medicine early receiving a certification as an assistant athletic trainer while in high school. Following a two year LDS mission in Hartford Connecticut he attended the University of Nevada, Reno on academic scholarship and received the prestigious Herz Gold Watch award for being the top student in his class. He stayed and obtained his medical degree at the University of Nevada School of Medicine. Dr. Karrasch completed his five-year orthopedic surgery training at Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical center where he had excellent surgical training and took care of athletes at the highest collegiate level. He took on leadership roles including Chief Resident and was nominated as an American Orthopedic Association Emerging Leader. Following his training, he further subspecialized by completing a sports medicine and arthroscopy fellowship with Dr. Frank Noyes one of the fathers of orthopedic sports medicine. While at the Cincinnati Sports Medicine and Orthopedic Center he treated athletes at all levels including his own three sons, high school athletes, the Cincinnati Bengals NFL players, and aging athletes looking to stay active and strong. In addition to sports coverage Dr. Karrasch refined his surgical skills tackling complex surgical cases of the shoulder, hip, and knee. Dr. Karrasch brought his wife and three sons back to Utah to establish his own roots and create life long memories for his family. When not in the operating room or in the clinic, you will find him in his backyard playing basketball with his boys or up the canyon exploring the mountains.

Dr.. Karrasch has been awesome for our family to work with!

Dr. Karrasch has been wonderful to work with, between both my athletic teen boys we have had to have ACL and 2 meniscus repair surgery’s. My boys felt super comfortable with Dr. Karrasch! As a parent appreciate how great he is at explaining our options and helping us to make educated choices. Dr. Karrasch is very professional an absolutely fantastic to work with!
