Timothy O’Brien, MD, is an orthopedic surgeon serving patients at Alpine Orthopedics and Sports Medicine in Bozeman, Montana.
Dr. O’Brien moved to Bozeman in 2003 after completing a fellowship at The Steadman Clinic in Vail, Colorado. During his fellowship, Dr. O’Brien learned advanced techniques in knee surgery, including ACL reconstruction, multi-ligament repair and reconstruction, cartilage restoration procedures, meniscal surgery, and high tibial osteotomy under the tutelage of Dr. Richard Steadman, a pioneer and world-renowned orthopedic surgeon, and Dr. William Sterett, the head physician for the United States Women’s Ski Team.
He also studied and performed advanced shoulder techniques with Dr. Richard Hawkins, an internationally known shoulder surgeon and founder of the Steadman Hawkins Clinic of the Carolinas. During his fellowship, Dr. O’Brien worked with an array of athletes, ranging from high school sports to professionals, including providing medical services for the Denver Broncos, Colorado Rockies, and US ski teams.
Dr. O’Brien brought many of these techniques to Southwestern Montana. He and his partner, Mark Deibert, MD, brought innovative ideas such as hamstring and cadaver ACL reconstruction to the area, offering less post-operative pain and easier rehabilitation for patients. He was the first in Bozeman to perform single and double row arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, arthroscopic shoulder procedures for shoulder instability and preventing dislocation, as well as reverse total shoulder replacement for rotator cuff arthropathy, a condition with previously few good surgical treatments.
He continues to stay up-to-date with the latest treatments and techniques in orthopedic surgery through his professional affiliations and travel with national and international societies and organizations. Patients say Dr. O’Brien is very professional and always takes time to explain all the treatment options available.
Dr. O’Brien lives in Bozeman with his wife, Kristen, and four children, Jack, Maeve, Rose, and Finn.

Could not be more happy with the care
Virginia was awesome!!
Excellent, professional care.
Everyone there is so very kind and willing to answer any of your concerns. We appreciate it so very much.
Three months following my surgery, my rehab is right on schedule. Dr O’Brien did my knee replacement over a year ago, which was a total success! I’m doing great now following rotator cuff repair. I would highly recommend Dr. O’Brien & his talented/caring staff for any orthopedic needs! Has been greatly valued to other family members, also!
Dr O’Brien and all the staff are very professional and take great Care of me.
Dr O'Brien's nurse practitioner, Virginia, was beyond excellent. She was extremely of the various components and inner workings of the human knee, answered all of my questions, conducted a very thorough examination of my knee, went over my x-rays in detail, and spent a great deal of time figuring out what the orthopedic situation was and discussing it with me. I couldn't have been more pleased.
Pleasant friendly helpful caring
Virginia, Dr. O’Brien’s PA, is my go to for aching arthritic knees. Because she communicates so well her wealth of information of possible options and what those various paths look like, I always leave with continued relief of cortisone shots which are still working, as well as the reassurance of understanding alternatives. Notable example here is that she listens to the patient and doesn’t push an agenda. Thanks to Virginia and Alpine ortho. Sally Ryan

Biz was excellent at talking us through pros and cons of joint replacement and Dr OBrien was great, gentle, friendly and made my knee injections almost painless. Highly recommend!
Excellent Dr. and team. Took great care of me and always kept me in the loop on what was happening and what to expect.
Alpine orthopedics has taken care of me on multiple occasions and I would recommend them to every one I know. Excellent friendly staff.
Awesome doc and crew. Very kind and caring of my knee issues. Thank you Alpine Orthopedics!
Dr. O’Brien and all his staff have been fantastic. He did a great job repairing my knee and has answered all my questions during my follow up visits. I highly recommend Dr.O’Brien and Alpine orthopedics.

5 stars
Both Virginia and Dr OBrien are excellent, kind and caring. Have provided outstanding help with tired old knee. The shots are giving me a summer!!
Did the first hip few years ago . All good. Here we go again.
Dr O’Brien is an exceptional surgeon. He is highly skilled and very willing to talk through your options, both surgical and non surgical. I am a very active older person and he has kept me going doing the things I love. I highly recommend him. Joe K
Super A+
Had so many trepidations about Total Knee Replacement but Dr O’Brien, Virginia, Biz and the rest of his staff were so helpful and adept that my recovery has been rapid. Highly recommended. Thank you all for giving me a leg to stand on.
Dr O’Brien is so thorough, thoughtful and kind! Virginia is a wonderful woman, with a gentle touch during injections I see them annually
I had an appointment at Bridger and it didn’t go well
I am one of Virginia’s biggest fans! Her cortisone injections are painless and give me (almost) painfree skiing and hiking! Thank you Dr. O’Brien, Virginia and Alpine team! Sally Ryan
