Dr. Douglas Skura is a board certified orthopaedic surgeon with an active solo practice in Kittanning, Pennsylvania. His office is located in Suite 420 of the Medical Arts Buildings conveniently located on the campus of Armstrong County Memorial Hospital.

Dr. Skura specializes in the assessment and care of bone and joint problems. These conditions include work injuries, sports and recreational injuries, arthritic disorders and developmental problems. In his practice, he has treated many families from parents and children to grandparents and grandchildren. He has cared for many of his patients for more than 10 years.

Dr. Skura's goal is to provide the safest, most effective treatment to either correct or control the symptoms of the patient. Treatment options range from advice, physical therapy, braces, medications and surgery. Most patients benefit from nonoperative interventions and do not require surgery.

"My goal as a surgeon is to keep the patient out of the operating room if there is another effective treatment to control symptoms to the satisfaction of the patient."

"In the operating room, my role is to maintain a safe environment for my patient and use the skills and knowledge I have acquired in over 14 years in private practice, 4 years of residency and 2 years of post-residency fellowship education to obtain the best surgical outcome for my patient.
