At OrthoDIRECT, our goal is to provide prompt, high-quality orthopedic care when you need it most. While we do our best to see every patient as quickly as possible, there may be times when we reach capacity. During these busy periods, wait times may be longer than usual, and we may need to prioritize patients based on the urgency of their condition. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to care for everyone as efficiently and safely as possible.

Dr. Lemme is fellowship-trained in both orthopedic sports medicine and orthopedic trauma, and treats patients ages 10 and up–including recreational and competitive athletes, laborers, weekend warriors, and those seeking surgical revision or second opinions. His practice emphasizes both surgical and non-surgical treatment of musculoskeletal injuries, with a particular focus on the shoulder, knee, and elbow.
Before completing his orthopedic sports medicine fellowship at the internationally acclaimed Rush University Medical Center in Chicago—widely regarded as one of the top programs in the world—Dr. Lemme earned his medical degree, residency in orthopedic surgery, and a fellowship in orthopedic trauma at The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University.
While at Rush, Dr. Lemme served as assistant team physician for the Chicago White Sox (MLB) and the Chicago Bulls (NBA). A proud Rhode Islander, he completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Rhode Island and is also a graduate of La Salle Academy.
Beyond patient care, Dr. Lemme is deeply engaged in academic research and education. He has authored more than 100 peer-reviewed publications, podium and poster presentations, and book chapters. His work spans sports medicine outcomes, joint preservation, biomechanics, and surgical technique innovation.
He currently serves on the Research Committee for the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM) and is a peer reviewer for both The American Journal of Sports Medicine and Sports Health.
Dr. Lemme has returned to his home state with his wife and two children and is excited to serve the Rhode Island community.
