Dr. Albert Pendleton was born and raised in Atlanta. He attended The Westminster Schools, where he was a football player and a two-time Georgia State Wrestling Champion. Dr. Pendleton graduated from Princeton University with a degree in Molecular Biology and served as the captain and four-year varsity starter of the Princeton wrestling team.

In addition, Dr. Pendleton also completed a second fellowship focused on pediatric sports medicine at Harvard’s Children’s Hospital Boston under Drs. Lyle Micheli and Mininder Kocher. The program is the only dedicated pediatric orthopedic sports medicine fellowship in the country.
