Dr. Engelen

Greetings! I’m Dr. Robert Engelen, a dedicated Physician with a passion for sports medicine, minimally invasive interventions, and cutting-edge approaches to healthcare.

Raised in Iowa, I embarked on a journey in healthcare that led me to earn a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Iowa State University. Following my deep-rooted interest in healing, I pursued a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine from the Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences.

My commitment to service led me to serve as a Lieutenant in the Navy, where I operated as the medical officer for 1st Battalion, 6th Marines in Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, including a deployment to Afghanistan. I’m honored to have received the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal-Meritorious and the Combat Action Ribbon-Commendation for my medical duties during combat operations.

Transitioning from military service, I delved into Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, completing my residency at the University of Utah. My passion for innovation in healthcare led me to specialize in Sports Medicine, where I explore new approaches utilizing technology and regenerative medicine.

I’ve had the privilege of serving as the Team Physician for the Utah Royals and as the Assistant Team Physician for Real Salt Lake, Solitude Ski Resort, Westminister College Athletics, along with providing medical care for several local high schools. My focus on leveraging technology and regenerative medicine in sports healthcare allows me to provide cutting-edge treatments and optimize athlete performance and recovery.

When not in the clinic or on the field, I cherish moments outdoors with my wife and three children. You might catch me coaching football and lacrosse, as my kids are actively involved in these sports. Skiing, mountain biking, and jujitsu fuel my passions, offering balance and fulfillment beyond my medical endeavors.
