Dr. Principe attended Monmouth University in West Long Branch, New Jersey where he graduated Cum Laude, receiving a Bachelor of Science in Biology. After completing his undergraduate degree, he enrolled in medical school at Ohio University where he earned the degree of Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine.
After medical school, Dr. Principe completed an Internship and Orthopaedic Surgery Residency at The Kettering Health Network, Grandview Hospital in Dayton, Ohio. During his residency, Dr. Principe completed his orthopaedic training at Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis, Indiana and Tampa General Hospital in Tampa, Florida. It was during this training that he developed an interest in orthopaedic trauma surgery, caring for the most severely injured patients.
Upon completing residency, Dr. Principe elected to obtain additional training in orthopaedic trauma surgery, completing an Orthopaedic Trauma Fellowship at Grant Medical Center in Columbus, Ohio. During the fellowship, he gained …experience in the treatment of complex fractures and post-traumatic reconstructive surgery.
He is married to his wife, Bonnie, and they have three children. They relocated to Delaware to be closer to family, while allowing Dr. Principe to work at Christiana Hospital, an outstanding Level I trauma center. Dr. Principe is also on staff at Kent General Hospital, Wilmington Hospital and St Francis Hospital.
I would 100% recommend Dr. Principe for any orthopedic surgeries. He has been incredibly outstanding from the very beginning, to and throughout my surgery, every follow-up has been great. He truly listens, I have never felt rushed, he explained the procedure and recovery in an easy way to understand, he’s very compassionate and exceptionally knowledable. From the first time meeting him for my broken arm visit/examination, I felt comfortable and confident. I am very thankful for the well done surgery and continued care follow-up appointments.
