Our Physicians
The heart of every good orthopedic surgery service is its surgeons. MCDH has two of the best: Jack Bellah, M.D. and William “Bill” Rohr, M.D. Both physicians pride themselves on using the latest tools and techniques based on established best practices.
Drs. Rohr and Bellah are patient-centered, providing surgical and non-surgical treatment of fractures, arthritis, sports injuries, tumors and congenital deformities. They maintain offices adjacent to the hospital campus in Fort Bragg.
