Before pursuing a medical career, Dr. Jay Lipke studied civil engineering at the University of Illinois, even earning a masters degree. While he was in medical school at the University of Iowa, his engineering background led him to complete an orthopedic residency at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. After a year in academic medicine, he entered private practice and enjoys all facets of orthopedic surgery, with special interest in knee/shoulder arthroscopy and total joint arthroplasty. He served as president of the Arkansas Orthopedic Society and is now president of OrthoArkansas.

When not working, Dr. Lipke enjoys whitewater rafting, flying and other outdoor activities. Mostly, he enjoys spending time with his family and watching his four children as they pursue their own educations and careers.
