David Lintner, MD

David Lintner, MD, is an esteemed leader in the field of orthopedic sports medicine. He has two private practice locations in Houston and Kingwood, Texas, where he treats adults and teenagers of all backgrounds and activity levels, from youth athletes to older adults who want to enjoy an active life.

Dr. Lintner strives to help patients avoid surgery whenever possible, however, when surgery is the best option, he performs high-quality procedures using minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques whenever possible. Dr. Lintner refers patients to other physicians when he determines advanced nonsurgical treatments such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy and stem cell therapy would be a better fit. 

Well-known for his extensive expertise in orthopedic procedures such as Tommy John surgery (ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction), forearm tightness, labral repair, throwing injuries, and rotator cuff surgery, Dr. Lintner has a special interest in treating injuries of throwing athletes and is happy to review your MRI if previously scanned. With decades of experience as head physician for the Houston Astros Major League Baseball team, Dr. Lintner has performed more Tommy John procedures than any other orthopedic surgeon in the Houston area. He uses innovative technologies, including the Arthrex® internal brace and the BioECM® amniotic membrane graft for Tommy John surgery.

In addition to elbow and shoulder procedures, Dr. Lintner specializes in arthroscopic knee surgery, including anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and meniscus repair.
