University of Ottawa in Canada. He also did a hand fellowship at The University of Alabama and a sports medicine and arthroscopy fellowship at Tuckahoe Orthopaedics in Virginia before returning to Newnan to practice general orthopedics at PAPP clinic in 1984. Powell was no stranger to Coweta County’s medical community. Dr. Powell comes from a family of prominent doctors and is the fifth generation to practice medicine in Coweta County. His grandfather, Dr. Joe Peniston, and his father, Dr. Jack Powell, Jr., were two of the four original doctors who founded the PAPP Clinic. Powell said the intensive training he received, especially during his residency at Emory, helped lay the groundwork for his general orthopedics practice at PAPP clinic: “The reason I trained at Emory is because I wanted to be close to home, and I wanted to give the folks in Newnan the same care they would get in Atlanta. I knew I was going to be the first orthopedist at PAPP clinic, and I wanted to be able to make referrals back to Atlanta if I ever needed to.”

Before the novel Coronavirus forced his early retirement, Dr. Powell says it ushered in one of the most promising new trends in orthopedics: telemedicine. “One of the things before I left that was very important was that we start a telemedicine program to serve our patients. I believe that is the cutting edge of medicine and will become increasingly important in the future.” Dr. Powell is an expert on envisioning trends in his field: he’s been a pioneer in orthopedic medicine for nearly 50 years. After his graduation from the Medical College of Georgia in 1977, Powell completed his general surgery internship and orthopedic residency at Emory University in Atlanta. Dr. Powell completed further training in spine surgery during a fellowship at the
