Lonegan, DO, is a board-certified and fellowship-trained sports medicine physician who specializes in the treatment of non-surgical sports-related and other musculoskeletal injuries. He grew up in North Yarmouth, graduated Greely High School, and received his Doctorate of Osteopathic Medicine at the University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine in Biddeford, Maine.
He’s formerly provided professional team coverage for the Connecticut Suns, New England Black Wolves, and Bellator Mixed Martial Arts. He has been affiliated with the Lake Placid Ironman and provided care for Bryant University, Johnson & Wales, Providence College, and the University of Connecticut.
As a Maine native, Lonegan is looking forward to rekindling old relationships and cultivating new ones.
“I joined Spectrum for the opportunity to return to my home state and be involved in the communities and athletics that provided the foundation for my interest in musculoskeletal injuries and medicine itself. I look forward both to working with local sports teams and patients - young and old, athletes and non-athletes,” Lonegan said. “It’s a moving experience to be able to practice as an orthopaedic physician and treat patients in the communities where I grew up actively training and participating in sports. I love Maine and I love Mainers. I simply can't think of a place I'd rather practice.”
The core team at Windham now includes six board-certified, fellowship-trained orthopaedic physicians who bring a broad range of subspecialty care to the community. Collectively, Spectrum Orthopaedics’ comprehensive service offerings provide improved access and convenience to patients.
Their services include:
•
Assessment and treatment of all musculoskeletal conditions in children and
adults.
• A
full range of surgical and nonsurgical treatment options.
•
Injury and fracture care to help get patients back to functioning as soon as
possible.
•
Newly expanded Physical Therapy and Hand Therapy clinics on site.
•
OrthoAccess: a walk-in clinic for acute orthopaedic care (no appointment
needed).
•
Musculoskeletal diagnostics including X-ray, ultrasound, injections, and
U/S-based procedures.
