With his years of education, experience, and research, Dr. Cobb has helped patients from all over the world, focusing on highly-specialized treatments for various conditions of the hands and upper extremities. He has devoted ample time towards developing and perfecting minimally-invasive surgical techniques that allow patients to return to work and normal activities much sooner than traditional surgical methods for many ailments, including rotator cuff tears, carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, fractures, ligament injuries, and more.
Before embarking on his professional journey, Dr. Cobb graduated with his medical degree from the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine in Lubbock in 1991. After graduation, he completed his Orthopaedic surgery residency and earned his Master of Science degree in Biomedical Sciences at the renowned Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota. Following these accomplishments, he obtained further expertise with a fellowship in hand, upper extremity, and microvascular surgery at the University of Texas.
He relocated to the Davenport and Quad Cities area in 2000 to join an orthopaedic practice, where he served as the Director of the Hand and Upper Extremity Center. After almost 20 years, he opened his own specialized practice – the Shoulder, Elbow, Wrist and Hand Center of Excellence.
Dr. Cobb continues to utilize his extensive training to develop state-of-the-art medical devices designed to reduce downtime and maximize benefits. This combination of technique and technology is the cornerstone of his patient-centered philosophy. With the assistance of specialists at the American Hand Institute, he has successfully earned patents on several minimally invasive surgical apparatuses with additional devices in the process of securing approval.
Established in his field, the doctor is board-certified in orthopaedic surgery and surgery of the hand by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS). The ABOS is an organization with the goal of establishing educational and professional standards for orthopaedic residents and surgeons as well as evaluating the qualifications and competence of orthopaedic surgeons.
In good standing with a number of professional organizations, he is a member of the American Association for Hand Surgery, the American Society for Surgery of the Hand, the American Society for Reconstructive Microsurgery, the American Society for Peripheral Nerve, and the International Wrist Arthroscopy Society, where he has held the office of President.
