Vincent E. Paul, MD

Dr. Paul is a Tar Heel, having been born in Raleigh, North Carolina . His family then moved to Kingsport, TN where he resided before returning to UNC Chapel Hill and his beloved North Carolina .

The founding partner of Guilford Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Center, Dr. Paul started his practice in 1981 in Greensboro and the Center in 1983. Since residency, some thirty years of experience in orthopaedic surgery has given him a unique perspective in all sorts of cutting edge procedures and techniques.

Dr. Paul feels that there is still room for the art of medicine. His love of art collecting reflects his joy in the artistic aspects of surgical intervention as well as improving function. In addition, he has studied techniques in Switzerland and has collaborated with Swiss orthopaedic surgeons. In the late 1980’s, Dr. Paul introduced a type of total hip prosthesis to Greensboro that is reflective of many of the prostheses being used today in the United States .

A committed family man, Dr. Paul has been married to his high school sweetheart for thirty-four years. Melinda Coover-Paul is a pediatrician who has served over thirty years in indigent pediatric care in central North Carolina . He is a proud father of two attractive and successful children, Adam and Kirsten.
