Dr. Pelt is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of Utah specializing in Adult Reconstruction. His clinical practice focus is in primary and revision joint replacement and reconstruction of the hip and knee.

Minimally invasive joint replacement, partial knee replacement, direct anterior hip replacement, arthroscopy of the hip, surgical dislocation and debridement of the hip and corrective osteotomies of the hip and knee are additional aspects of his practice. His research interests are centered on patient outcomes following hip and knee reconstructive surgeries. Dr. Pelt grew up in the Pacific Northwest and attended the University of Washington for his undergraduate education.
