About Dr. Bernholt

Picture of David Bernholt, MD

I am an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in complex knee surgery and sports medicine care.

Having myself been an athlete who suffered injuries that ultimately required surgery, I understand how difficult the process can be. I strive to offer thoughtful and well-executed treatment, tailored to each patient's individual needs.

I have spent the past 6 years working at the Campbell Clinic in Memphis, TN where I served as Division Chief of Sports Medicine prior to relocating with my wife and children to my native state of Ohio, to be closer to family. I am excited to serve the greater Cincinnati metropolitan area and Northern Kentucky.
