About Me

Joshua Gates, PA-C holds a Master of Physician Assistant Studies from Mercyhurst University, where he demonstrated leadership qualities as the Vice-President of the Mercyhurst Physician Assistant Student Society. He also has a Bachelor of Health Sciences with a minor in Psychology from Lock Haven University.

What motivates Joshua as a healthcare provider is the transformative nature of orthopedics. He finds inspiration in helping people during their most challenging moments, witnessing their journey from distress to recovery.

“Whether it's addressing mobility issues, modifying lifestyles, or providing conservative treatments, the care we give can make a significant difference in our patients' lives,” Joshua said.

Joshua offers expertise in various areas within orthopedics, including sports medicine, general orthopedics, and trauma care, focusing on fracture care.

Outside of his medical practice, Joshua shares a close bond with his parents and is a proud dog owner of a Corgi named Leo. He enjoys outdoor activities like hiking and biking, including traveling to destinations for hiking, such as the Grand Canyon, Colorado, and Hawaii. He also enjoys the thrill of riding a motorcycle.

    Josh used a lot of medical verbiage which I did not understand. Needs to come to patients'level of medical knowledge to discuss treatment and advisement.
