extensive experience in the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of sports
medicine injuries. She specializes in knee & shoulder arthroscopy with
expertise in ACL injuries, patella instability, cartilage restoration, and
shoulder instability. Dr. Wiggins is also an expert in knee and shoulder
replacement surgery and performs robotic-assisted joint replacement to ensure a
personalized patient experience.
As a Division I
student-athlete at the University of Louisville, Dr. Wiggins was a skilled
soccer player and rower, earning All-American honors throughout college.
Unsurprisingly, it was Dr. Wiggins' own ACL reconstructions as a competitive
collegiate athlete that sparked her passion for pursuing medicine. Upon
graduation, Dr. Wiggins enrolled in the A.T. Still University Kirksville
College of Osteopathic Medicine in Kirksville, Missouri, where she earned her
Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine.
She went on to complete a
residency for orthopaedic surgery at Midwestern University in Downers Grove,
Illinois. With a keen interest in sports medicine, Dr. Wiggins went on to
complete a prestigious sports medicine fellowship with Wellington Orthopaedic
Sports Medicine / University of Cincinnati. During her time as a fellow, she
authored an award-winning paper on the risk of secondary ACL injury in young
athletes.
Dr. Wiggins truly enjoys
giving back to her community, serving as team physician for West Clermont High

She is also involved with the medical care of the Cincinnati Ballet and FC
Cincinnati. Dr. Wiggins is an associate professor with A.T Still University and
continues to give back to the medical community by mentoring local high school
students through a Medical Explorer program.
When she's not seeing
patients, Dr. Wiggins enjoys time with her husband and two sons. She continues
to live an active lifestyle that includes hiking, yoga, rowing, and biking. Her
athletic pursuits keep her in touch with the local sports community and
athletes of all ages. |
