It is with great sorrow and compassion that we announce the death of Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Jonathan Krome. Dr. Krome joined Spectrum Medical Practice (previously Danville Orthopedic Clinic) in 2004.
He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan, and his medical degree from The University of Maryland. His orthopedic training was performed at Wake Forest University/Bowman Gray School of Medicine. Dr. Krome was a Board-Certified orthopedic surgeon with specialty interests in Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, and Total Joint Replacement.
While Dr. Krome helped thousands of patients both in surgery and in his private practice, he also assisted outside the clinic. Dr. Krome was a team physician for the Danville Braves and Averett University Athletics for several years. He also saw athletes on a regular basis through Danville Public Schools as well as Pittsylvania County Schools. Dr. Krome’s Spectrum family of physicians and staff offer their heartfelt condolences to his family and close friends and mourn this loss to our community.

Take a peek at the changes to our new building at 109 Bridge Street scheduled to open in January 2017! There are a lot of changes being made to the inside as well as the outside!
The current practices of Danville Orthopedic Clinic, DOC Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation, DOC Sports Medicine Outreach and DOC Clinical Research (Piedmont Regional Medical Center on currently located on Executive Drive) will be unified with Southside Arthritis & Rheumatology, and Southside Pain Solutions (Memorial Drive location) under one inclusive name and operation –SPECTRUM MEDICAL. Our This new name reflects our vision and mission of providing a full “spectrum” of musculoskeletal care within one unified and interconnected medical practice.
Don’t let the outside fool you — there is a lot going on inside the former Dan River Research Building, which will soon become the River District Tower.
“The building outside is not going to change much; it can’t — it’s a historic structure,” Dr. Mark Hermann — one of 11 investors in the project — told members of Danville City Council during a tour of the building Tuesday.
There will be new windows through most of the building, Hermann said, though they will look exactly like the old ones, most of which simply could not be restored.
In early 2017, DOC and Southside Pain Solutions will join at our new location at the former Dan River Research and Development building on Bridge St. in downtown Danville. This will house a complete care center for all musculoskeletal needs for our current and future patients.
