About Me

Orthopaedic surgeon John deVries, M.D., M.S., relishes the chance to quickly give people their mobility back while helping them in their fight against cancer. He earned his medical degree from Wayne State University in Detroit, as well as a master’s degree in neurobiology, then completed an orthopaedic surgery residency at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, followed by a musculoskeletal oncology fellowship at the University of Chicago.

Dr. deVries is a physician-researcher whose experience in biomedical investigations includes a role before medical school assisting with breast cancer research at the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute in Detroit. Not long before joining City of Hope®, he helped lead a peer-reviewed study in the European Journal of Plastic Surgery showing that temporizing negative pressure, an emerging wound therapy, is safe and effective alongside sarcoma surgery. He also co-authored a chapter of the textbook Musculoskeletal Imaging Principles. 

Previously, Dr. deVries was clinical assistant professor of orthopaedics and research director for the orthopaedic surgery residency program at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where he helped establish and led Nevada’s first academic orthopaedic oncology program.
 

Patient ratings
Star ratings and comments are only available for medical, radiation and gynecologic oncologists. Gynecologic surgical offerings are not included at this time due to a different survey tool required to evaluate these services. CTCA uses a validated Press Ganey® survey, which captures patient experience feedback for the primary oncology services of chemotherapy and radiation therapy at our comprehensive care and research centers. Following industry best practice, star ratings and comments are only published for physicians with a minimum of 30 completed patient surveys.
