Dr. Lakai Enterline grew up in an athletic family in Monroeville Indiana. Not only was he a three-sport athlete himself, but members of his family were scholarship basketball players at Indiana University. Watching them overcome injuries in their careers peaked his interest in orthopedic sports medicine which allows him to treat patients of all ages and activity levels. He feels sports participation plays a critical role in personal development; it supports physical and mental health, builds leadership and communication skills, develops work ethic and strengthens self-assurance. Dr. Enterline treats injuries with a team approach utilizing personal training, physical therapy and arthroscopic or open surgical techniques when needed.

When he is not caring for patients you can likely find Dr. Enterline staying active with hunting, fishing or helping on the family farm, or enjoying time with his family. He is a third-generation basketball official and looks forward to passing on his enthusiasm for athletics to the next generation.
