Kyle Geiger MD

A University of Iowa orthopaedic surgery graduate (Class of 2026) now in spine fellowship at Louisville's storied Leatherman Spine Center — the program that performed the world's first case on the Stealth AXiS robotic platform, the same system arriving at this practice. He joins the team on completing his fellowship. Sixteen-plus peer-reviewed publications — including machine-learning mortality prediction in spinal metastasis co-authored with Dr. Pugely — an editorship at the Iowa Orthopedic Journal, and national patient-education writing for the AAOS. Before medicine: an EMT and certified nursing assistant who worked his way from a farmhand's job to the operating room.
