William Runge, MD

From a young age, I’ve been captivated by technology, building things and problem-solving, which initially led me to a career in aerospace engineering. Engineering took me all over the world, from Australia with a traveling fellowship from the National Science Foundation, to Belgium, where I lived for a year as a Fulbright scholar and worked on a laser diagnostic system for a chemistry experiment that flew in space. However, transitioning into medicine so that I could more directly help people has allowed me the unique privilege of understanding and addressing the most intricate systems of all — human beings.

As a surgeon, my goal is to understand and connect with each patient, collaborating to develop personalized treatment plans that deliver the best possible outcomes.

I’ve always sought a broad scope of practice, which inspired me to pursue advanced training in both hand surgery and shoulder and elbow surgery. I’ve had the honor of training at some of the world’s most prestigious orthopedic institutions, including the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan and Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. I take pride in offering a diverse practice while performing highly specialized, complex surgeries with the utmost expertise.
