Meet Dr. Turnbull
Dr. Isaiah Turnbull is a trauma surgeon specializing in acute injury management.
He has expertise in acute and critical care surgery, management of sepsis, and postoperative care.
Dr. Turnbull earned his medical degree from WashU Medicine. He also completed general surgery residency training and a surgical critical care fellowship at WashU Medicine.
Severe burns are a serious civilian public health problem. We have focused on the military population, because the combat-related burn injuries often have other associated traumatic injuries that further contribute to the immune dysfunction induced by burn. We would like to extend these studies to civilian burn patients and also to non-burn severely injured trauma patients that we take care of here at our Level-1 trauma center.
