Dr. Joshua Linnell was born and raised in the Midwest. As a true Jayhawk at heart, he received his undergraduate degree at the University of Kansas while performing biomedical research at the Stowers Institute in Kansas City.

Dr. Linnell specializes in treating all conditions affecting the hands and wrists up to the elbow.

He is a member of numerous organizations including the American Society for Surgery of the Hand, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, and the Mid-Central States Orthopaedic Society.
Dr. Linnell cares for patients of all ages and enjoys treating the pediatric population. Uniquely in the specialty of hand surgery, the patient plays a vital role in their recovery and overall outcome.
