About Dr. Gaskill
Dr. Gaskill is a Kansas native who completed his orthopaedic residency at Duke University Medical Center before pursuing fellowship training in hip, knee, and shoulder sports medicine at The Steadman Clinic in Vail, Colorado — widely regarded as one of the premier orthopaedic sports medicine programs in the world and the training ground for surgeons who treat elite professional and Olympic athletes.
Following fellowship, Dr. Gaskill served on active duty as a sports medicine surgeon at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth, a tertiary referral and surgeon-training center for the U.S. Navy. During his service he functioned as Chief of the Section of Sports Medicine and served as the team physician for the East Coast Naval Special Warfare (SEAL) community — providing orthopaedic care to one of the most physically demanding populations in the military.
After completing his military service, Dr. Gaskill returned to his home state of Kansas and joined Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Center in Manhattan, where he has served as a Team Physician for Kansas State University Athletics, working directly with the Wildcat Football, Basketball, Baseball, and Soccer programs.
Dr. Gaskill and his wife and their three children are active members of the Manhattan community.
