Dr. Kraemer and Dr. McCarthy share a common vision: taking care of more than just the one person in front of you. It’s about giving back, doing the right thing, utilizing your skill set to make things better for others, therefore reaching out to populations needing our help. This is why we teach and why we do research, so we can provide.

He practices at Indiana Spine Hospital, Community Hospital, Riverview Hospital, and Indiana University Hospitals, where he serves as an assistant professor of Orthopaedic Surgery and is the Fellowship Director for the spine surgery fellowship.
