For as long as Kevin Middlemist can remember, he’s wanted to be a physician. His passion started while playing sports. Dealing with his own injuries and seeing athletes around him get injured and then go through treatment and recovery sparked a deep interest that never went away.
Dr. Middlemist attended Friends University in Wichita, KS, where he graduated in 2012 with a bachelor’s degree in health science. In 2016, he earned his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine from Rocky Vista University College (RVUCOM) in Denver, Colorado. He completed a 5-year orthopaedic surgery residency at Oklahoma State University College of Health Sciences in Tulsa. Following that, he completed a 1-year Orthopaedic Surgery & Sports Medicine Fellowship at Beacon Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine in Cincinnati, OH.
During Dr. Middlemist’s fellowship in sports medicine, he oversaw care at two large high schools in Cincinnati and Wilmington College, a Division III University. As a fellow, he also had the opportunity to serve on the medical staff for the Cincinnati Reds baseball team.
He’s passionate about working and serving the youth in his community and passing on the medical knowledge he’s gained to future generations. As part of the JCMG team, his goal is to provide outstanding orthopaedic care to patients of all ages and help them return to living the life they love. When he’s not seeing patients at JCMG, he enjoys spending quality time with family, golfing, watching sports, grilling, and supporting local small businesses.
Dr. Middlemist and his wife, Kayla, were married in October 2016. They have one child and one fur baby, Luna, a Great Dane/Weimaraner mix. The Middlemists are die-hard Denver Broncos and Kansas Jayhawk fans.
