Medical content on this site is reviewed before publication. Pages on sports medicine, shoulder problems, and elbow problems are checked against the training record of Gary Levongood, MD, the orthopedic surgeon at this Lawrenceville, Georgia practice. Dr. Levongood earned his medical degree from the Medical College of Georgia at Georgia Health Sciences University and completed residency in orthopedic surgery at St. Mary's Hospital Medical Center. He completed fellowship training in sports medicine at The Hughston Clinic. He is affiliated with Northside Hospital Orthopedics, Sports Medicine.
Because his training centers on sports medicine, the shoulder, and the elbow, content on those topics receives the closest review for accuracy and current terminology. This page lists Dr. Levongood's training and focus areas as recorded by the practice. It does not list specific procedures, since none are confirmed in his clinical record at this time.
Every clinical page on this site carries an educational disclaimer and is updated when guidance changes or when the practice's clinical record changes. Dr. Levongood is accepting new patients at this practice.

Is anything on this site medical advice?
No. The information here explains conditions and general treatment options in plain language.
It does not diagnose you or replace an exam with a physician. If you have symptoms, the next step is a visit with a doctor, not a decision made from a web page.
What sources back up the facts on these pages?
Every clinical fact on this site is attributed to a named source, such as a medical society or peer-reviewed research, the same standard used across reputable medical publishing.
Where a page states a number, a range, or a recovery timeline, the source is named directly in the text so you can check it yourself.
How often is this information updated?
Pages are reviewed on a regular schedule and updated whenever the underlying clinical guidance changes.
A review does not mean new information appears every week; it means the content is checked against current sources rather than published once and left alone.
Does this site replace a referral from my doctor?
No. Many patients reach this practice because another physician referred them, and this site is written to support that conversation, not to substitute for it.
If your doctor recommended a visit, the pages here can help you prepare questions, not replace the referral itself.
Is Dr. Levongood accepting new patients?
Yes. Gary Levongood, MD, is accepting new patients.
He focuses on sports medicine injuries of the shoulder and elbow and is affiliated with Northside Hospital Orthopedics - Sports Medicine in Lawrenceville, GA.
This page is intended for general education. It is not medical advice and does not replace an evaluation by a licensed physician.
