Jay Donald Mabrey, MD: a conversation with the editor
Jay Donald Mabrey, MD, and William C. Roberts, MD
Jay Mabrey was born in Lawton, Oklahoma, on December 13, 1954. He spent his early years in Norman, Oklahoma, and moved to Warren, Ohio, when he was 13. He graduated from Cornell University cum laude in biological sciences in 1977 and from Cornell University Medical College in 1981. His 2-year general surgery training and 4-year training in orthopaedic surgery were at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina. Dr. Mabrey practiced orthopaedic surgery at the Winn Army Community Hospital in Fort Stewart, Georgia, from 1987 until 1990 and then returned to New York City for a fellowship in biomechanics and total joint surgery at the Hospital for Special Surgery. He then moved to San Antonio, Texas, working initially at the Brooke Army Medical Center before working full-time for the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. During his tenure in San Antonio, he also served as chief of orthopaedics at the André L. Murphy Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center from 1996 to 2002.
In July 2004 Dr. Mabrey moved to Dallas as chief of the Department of Orthopaedics and the George Truett James Orthopaedics Institute of Baylor University Medical Center (BUMC). In recent years he has specialized in hip and joint replacement surgery, and that work has led to numerous publications in peer-reviewed medical journals as well as chapters in various books. A major research interest in addition to hip and knee joint surgery has been analyzing the human gait. He and his wife, Deborah, are the proud parents of two sons, both of whom are in college. BUMC is fortunate in having Jay Mabrey lead the orthopaedics department. Additionally, he is a very nice guy and delightful to be around. |
