Dr. Gurule’s connection to the region began during medical school, where he graduated top of his class from the New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine at Arkansas State University. His connection to Jonesboro became even more meaningful during medical school, where he met his wife, Hallie Frederick, who is a lifelong member of the Jonesboro community.

After medical school, Dr. Gurule went on to complete his orthopedic surgery residency at Oklahoma State University, where he developed broad expertise in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of orthopedic conditions.

Following residency, Dr. Gurule pursued advanced subspecialty training in sports medicine through a fellowship at the University of Buffalo, one of the country’s highly regarded sports medicine programs.

He also had the unique opportunity to care for professional athletes, providing comprehensive sideline and training room medical coverage for both the NFL Buffalo Bills and NHL Buffalo Sabres.

Whether treating an elite athlete, a weekend warrior, or someone simply looking to regain mobility and quality of life, Dr. Gurule’s goal is to develop a treatment plan tailored to each patient’s needs and help them get back to doing what they love.

Although his training has taken him across the country, Dr. Gurule is proud to return to Jonesboro with his wife and serve the community that has played such an important role in their medical careers.
