About The Doctor: Dr. Mindrebo

Norman Mindrebo, M.D. is a board certified orthopaedic surgeon who has been practicing in Indiana since 1995. Dr. Mindrebo started New Hope Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine in 1998. He loves working with people of all age groups. His orthopaedic practice includes minimally invasive rotator cuff repairs and hip replacements, arthroscopic reconstruction of the knee and shoulder, sports medicine, total joint and reconstructive surgery, spinal surgery (lumbar and cervical disc surgery) and orthopaedic trauma. A large portion of Dr. Mindrebo's practice is devoted to orthopaedic injuries in the workplace and worker's compensation. Dr. Mindrebo is committed to helping employees and employers by treating injuries and getting employees back to work in a safe and timely manner.

Dr. Mindrebo grew up in New Jersey, but moved to Indiana where he married his "Hoosier wife." He started New Hope in 1998 with the help of his family and friends who often helped with different projects to get the word out about New Hope. As the practice has matured Dr. Mindrebo has had the privilege of treating more and more patients. He loves getting to help bring healing to patients in their time of need. He also enjoys reading historical fiction, spending time outside in God's beautiful creation (especially on his tractor), taking care of animals, and spending time with his family.

Dr. Mindrebo earned an undergraduate degree in Biology from Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois, and a minor in Human Needs and Global Resources. His Masters Degree is in Neuromuscular Physiology from Villanova University. This background helped Dr. Mindrebo decide to pursue medicine as a career. He received his medical degree from Temple University School of Medicine in Philadelphia in 1987. Dr. Mindrebo completed his internship at St. Vincent's Hospital in Indianapolis, and his orthopaedic surgery residency at the Indiana University Medical Center. After residency, he was commissioned as a Major in the United States Air Force Medical Corps and served in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Offutt Air Force Base, located in Omaha, Nebraska. After honorable service in the Air Force, Dr. Mindrebo returned to Indianapolis to practice orthopaedic surgery.

Credentials for Dr. Mindrebo include: board certification by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgeons in 1994, and induction as a fellow into the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons in 1995. He is a member of the Indiana Orthopedic Society, the Indiana State Medical Association and the Christian Medical and Dental Associations.
