Biography

Ashton Mansour, MD, is an associate professor in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston.

He is a fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon with subspecialty training in hand and upper extremity surgery. He cares for patients of all ages with disorders of the hand, wrist, and elbow, offering both nonoperative and surgical treatment options. His expertise includes arthroscopic and minimally invasive techniques, complex trauma, and microsurgery.

A native of Alexandria, Louisiana, Dr. Mansour graduated magna cum laude from Texas A&M University in College Station. He earned his medical degree from Louisiana State University School of Medicine in New Orleans and completed his orthopedic surgery residency at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. During residency, he was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha Medical Honor Society for his leadership and dedication to medical education.

Dr. Mansour continued his training with a fellowship in hand surgery at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he gained extensive experience in hand, wrist, and microsurgery. During this time, he developed a passion for patient-directed care, complex trauma, and resident education. These values led him back to Texas as a faculty member at UTHealth Houston.

Dr. Mansour focuses on optimal nonoperative and operative management for upper extremity conditions. He takes time to educate patients about their diagnoses and treatment options, to help them return to active and productive lifestyles.

An active member of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and the American Society for Surgery of the Hand, Dr. Mansour remains committed to advancing patient care while training the next generation of orthopedic surgeons.

Outside of medicine, he is a devoted husband and father. He enjoys spending time with family, mentoring his niece and nephews in sports, exploring new restaurants, exercising, and traveling. He also values leading his family in a faith-centered life.
