Biography

Dr. Petrie is a native of Cape Town in the Republic of South Africa. His family includes three generations of physicians: his grandfather, both parents and Dr. Petrie. His family moved to the United States when he was a toddler and he grew up in Rochester, Minnesota in the shadow of the Mayo Clinic. As a child, he would accompany his father during school holidays on rounds at the Mayo Clinic, and this early exposure set the tone for his adult career.

Dr. Petrie double majored in Biology and Economics from UC Berkeley and attended Mayo Medical School and did his residency in Orthopedic Surgery at the Mayo Clinic. He completed his Fellowship in Orthopedic Sports Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh, where he took care of the University Pittsburgh Sports Team and had exposure to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Dr. Petrie remains academically active as one of the core faculty members to the Hoag Orthopedic Sports Medicine Fellowship program since its inception in 2016. He is also an arthroscopy instructor at the San Diego Shoulder Institute for the past 15 years.

As for his specialty in sports-related knee and shoulder injuries, he says, “I liked sports and ended up in doctors’ offices because of them. What is gratifying is to return someone to their life’s passion by fixing what is wrong. That, to me, is why I’m here.” Currently, Dr. Petrie is one of the medical team physicians for the LA Chargers.

Dr. Petrie lives in Irvine. He enjoys cycling, scuba diving, and surfing. His outside interests also include being an ocean environmentalist and entrepreneur. He helped found Okeanos, an international company focusing on plastic reduction in packaging.

Dr. Petrie's Physician Assistant is Karri Knodel, PA-C.
