About Garret Schuchart, MD

Garret Schuchart, MD, is a fellowship-trained orthopaedic spine surgeon practicing at Pioneer Peak Orthopedics in Wasilla, Alaska.  Fellowship-trained in spinal procedures from the skull to the pelvis, in May of 2026 became the first surgeon to preform lumbar disc replacement in the city of Wasilla.

 

Born and raised on a cattle ranch in south Texas, Dr. Schuchart’s education began at Hardin-Simmons University where he was a collegiate tight end on the football team while majoring in biology with a minor in biochemistry. He continued at Texas Tech University Health Science Center in Lubbock, Texas, for medical school. Dr. Schuchart completed his residency in orthopedic surgery at Baylor Scott and White Medical Center in Temple, Texas (ranked the number one major teaching hospital by Fortune/PINC in 2023), where he was well-trained in all fields of orthopedic surgery. He then pursued additional training with Sonoran Spine Research and Education Foundation in Tempe, Arizona, where he had broad exposure to the latest innovations in spine surgery, including robotic-assisted spine surgery, minimally invasive procedures, motion preservation surgeries, and complex deformity reconstruction. His fellowship gave him expertise in spinal procedures from the skull to the pelvis including anterior, lateral, and posterior approaches.

 

Dr. Schuchart’s wife, Kami, is also a native Texan, relocated to Wasilla in 2024.  Married in 2014, they have three beautiful children. In their spare time, both Dr. Schuchart and his wife are avid hunters, hikers, skiers, and enjoy anything related to the outdoors. In the short time since moving to Alaska they have enjoyed joining and serving the Mat-Su Valley community.
