Dr. Tony Rhorer Welcomed Onto Royal Pains as Creative Consultant

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - April 10, 2015 - PRLog -- Dr. Tony Rhorer was welcomed into the writers room of USA Networks on April 2^nd and 3^rd as a creative consultant for the TV show Royal Pains. This marks the Scottsdale surgeon's first collaboration with a television series during his decades-long career.

Rhorer's extensive expertise in orthopaedic surgery was a vital tool for the medical drama's traumatic injury scenarios. With a resume of successfully resolving baffling cases of surgical disasters, Rhorer's involvement with the Royal Pains writing team was a logical step for the show's medical topics, all of which originate from authentic situations that real doctors encounter. His encyclopedic knowledge and lifelong orthopaedic experience was key in legitimizing the writers' approach to dramatizing harrowing medical conflicts, as well as establishing the characters' proficiency in diagnosing and repairing patients' debilitating injuries.

Since its beginning in 2009, Royals Pains has run for six successful seasons on USA Networks, and it has been renewed for a seventh season in 2015 and an eighth season in 2016. Created by Andrew Lenchewski, the series follows Dr. Henry “Hank” Lawson (Mark Feurstein) in the Hamptons as he shifts between two polarizing roles as a concierge doctor for the privileged and as a charitable doctor for the poor and helpless.

Dr. Tony Rhorer's surgical prowess lies in areas such as post-traumatic reconstruction, nonunion surgery, limb lengthening and deformity correction. Throughout his years of exhaustive, ongoing education at world-class universities and institutions across the world, he has engaged in countless life-changing surgical procedures and has made groundbreaking orthopaedic discoveries. His contributions to Royal Pains will be shown on screen during the world premiere of the show's seventh season on June 2, 2015.
