Dr. Urch has dedicated his practice solely to knee care including surgery and non-operative knee rehabilitation. He is currently involved with ongoing research studies and has recently published several articles relating to the care of knee injuries. He is the team orthopedic consultant for Wabash College.

Dr. Urch received his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1987 at the University of Virginia, where he also played football. After graduation, he played professional football before attending medical school. He received his medical degree from Temple University in Philadelphia, PA and then he returned to the University of Virginia to complete residency training.
