Dr. Jonathan A.Forsberg

Dr. Jonathan A. Forsberg, MD, PhD, is an orthopaedic surgeon specializing in the care of children and adults with rare bone and soft tissue cancers, including soft tissue sarcoma, osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, and chondrosarcoma. His special interests include improving quality of life for patients with metastatic bone disease and restoring function to those who undergo major limb amputations. He also treats noncancerous tumors of the bones and soft tissue, performing approximately 200 surgical procedures annually for both cancerous and noncancerous conditions. Dr. Forsberg completed his fellowship training in orthopaedic oncology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and later earned a PhD in Applied Bioinformatics from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, reflecting his commitment to combining surgical expertise with rigorous scientific inquiry. His path to medicine was shaped by 32 years of active military service, beginning as a U.S. Marine infantryman before attending the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, where he studied chemistry and engineering. His interest in biomechanics and the engineering principles governing human movement made orthopaedic surgery a natural fit.
