- Pediatric CareIn 2006, it became apparent to Craig and his family that there was another career path to follow. He attended the Physician Assistant program at The University of Utah (that's right, he's a Cougar and a Ute). He completed rotations in family/internal medicine, pediatrics, OB/GYN, Emergency medicine, Cardiology, Neurology, General Surgery, and Orthopaedics. The majority of his rotations were completed here in Tooele Valley. Craig enjoys Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine and enjoys working with all ages. He also enjoys teaching and has a passion for fitness.

- MRI“I'm a 52 year old male that has always lived a very active lifestyle. I was playing basketball and completely tore my left Quadriceps Tendon. Dr Douglas/ Craig Peckham and the staff got me in quickly for X-rays the following morning after the injury and set me up for an MRI to evaluate the severity. I was then scheduled for surgery. Dr Douglas did an amazing job of explaining the procedure and what I should expect after the surgery was completed. Dr Douglas anchored my tendon and was able to clean up some extra bone growths I had on my kneecap and surrounding areas. After six weeks post-op, my incision looks great and I'm looking forward to being better than I was pre-surgery with rehab. I would highly recommend Tooele Orthopedics/Dr Douglas. ”

- Orthopedics“I arrived in Tooele, UT to see Dr. John Douglas at the Tooele Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Clinic almost an hour early, having come in from Boise, ID. I had scheduled my appt. just a week earlier and was astounded to think that I could get in to a GREAT surgeon in just one week! In Boise, you have to wait 3 months for an appointment and 1-2 years for surgery! We went to Walmart, got some lunch and no less than 5 times different groups or single people stopped me and expressed concern over my limp, slow gait, or anguished expression! In every case they said variations of the following: "Oh, you need to see Dr. Douglas! He operated on my wife (me, my father, my mother etc) and replaced her (hip, knee, shoulder) hip! She was in so much pain but she's doing great now!" In one hour, 5 different sets of people expressed the same sentiment! That was referral enough for me! The appointment was positive. The front staff are efficient, busy, and professional. They don't usually have too much time to chit-chat. The exam and interview portion of the appointment was only about 30 minutes...or seemed so...because when I left and glanced at the clock, I had been there 3 hours! It was such a positive experience! My husband and I both felt like we had found a family called Tooele Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Clinic. Dr. Douglas and his PA Chad Jarvis were the most bedside-friendly physicians you could ask for! My surgery was scheduled for 16 days after my first appointment. Remembering that now almost makes me cry! Dr. Douglas said at my first appointment, "Give me 3 months and I'll change your life!" And, he has done just that!”

- Hip Replacement“I had a full hip replacement in June of 2022, due to arthritis damage to the joint. Everyone at Tooele Orthopaedics was wonderful to work with from office staff and nurses to Craig Packham who handled my office visits and Dr. Douglas who did an amazing job with the surgery. I honestly could not be happier! It is a joy to be able to return to my activities without the constant pain I was experiencing before the replacement. I highly recommend them!”
- Knee Replacement“I want to thank John Douglas and his amazing staff for the wonderful job they did for me with my knee replacement. It went really well and I am very happy with the results. I would highly recommend him for anyone that needs a knee replacement.-Lynn Young”
