Atlantic Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine is excited to welcome Dr. Theodore Guild to our team! A fellowship-trained Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle surgeon, Dr. Guild brings clinical excellence and a passion for patient-centered care to our community. He specializes in treating the full spectrum of foot and ankle conditions, from sports-related injuries and fractures to arthritis and chronic deformity.
Beyond his technical expertise, Dr. Guild finds getting to know his patients and their lives the most rewarding part of his job. “Having the opportunity to be someone’s teammate and advocate throughout their healing journey makes this work truly gratifying,” he shared.
From an early age, Dr. Guild was drawn to physical, constructive work – building decks with his dad, and working in both landscaping and farming as a teen. That love of hands-on work, combined with his experience as an EMT during college, led to his interest in medicine. It was through his post-college job as an Emergency Room Technician working alongside orthopaedic residents that Dr. Guild found his true calling in orthopaedics, where he could combine technical skill, problem-solving, and meaningful patient care.
Dr. Guild’s approach is rooted in collaboration—starting with non-operative treatments whenever possible and offering surgery only when truly necessary. For patients who do require surgery, he is proud to bring Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) to the Seacoast. Using incisions just millimeters long, MIS allows for less scarring, quicker recovery, and reduced pain. For advanced ankle arthritis, he also offers Total Ankle Arthroplasty (ankle replacement surgery) to restore movement and improve quality of life.
When asked what made him want to join the practice at Atlantic Orthopaedics, Dr. Guild said it was the genuine, caring nature of the entire staff—from front office to clinical teams—that drew him in and made our practice a natural fit. Outside of work, Dr. Guild can be found exploring the local trails on his gravel bike, hiking, skiing, or kayaking with his wife exploring the beautiful coasts and mountains of New Hampshire and Maine.
Atlantic Orthopaedics is thrilled to expand access to advanced foot and ankle care in the Seacoast and help our patients get back to the activities they love. If you’re suffering from a foot and ankle injury or condition, schedule a consultation with Dr. Guild today.
