For over 60 years, Hampton Roads Orthopaedics Spine & Sports Medicine has served Hampton Roads, Virginia, with a commitment to quality orthopaedic care and community support. Founded by Dr. Wieman Kretz, the region’s first orthopaedic surgeon, HROSM has grown from its roots as a single-practitioner office to a leading orthopaedic provider in the area. Dr. Kretz’s pioneering vision set the foundation for HROSM to continuously evolve, integrating advanced treatments and services to meet the ever-changing needs of the field. With locations across Newport News, Williamsburg, Suffolk and Yorktown, HROSM remains dedicated to providing comprehensive orthopaedic, spine and sports medicine care while making a difference in the communities they serve.

The entire team shares a commitment to “keeping bodies in motion,” a philosophy that inspires them to go beyond treatment. HROSM believes in empowering patients to take an active role in their health through preventive strategies, tailored treatment plans and compassionate support.
