After graduating from the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine in 1986, Dr. Kremchek accepted an internship in General Surgery at Good Samaritan Hospital. In 1988, he began his residency at Tufts University and affiliated hospitals in Boston, Massachusetts. In 1992, he was selected to be a chief resident at the internationally known New England Baptist Hospital. Following, he completed a sports medicine fellowship in Birmingham, Alabama at the world renowned Andrews Institute for Orthopedic & Sports Medicine with James R. Andrews, M.D.
His passion for sports medicine is obvious, since he has been the Medical Director for the Cincinnati Reds, Dayton Dragons and their other minor league affiliates since 1996. In addition, Dr. Kremchek also provides second opinions for the NFL, and is Team Physician for Wilmington College, Morehead State, and Wittenberg University, as well as Medical Director for Moeller, Indian Hill, Kings, Wyoming, Mt.

Dr. Kremchek treats professional athletes from a variety of sports and all levels of competition. He has performed Tommy John Surgery (ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction) on dozens of MLB pitchers, as well as many minor league and college ballplayers. Because of the drastic increase in the number of cases requiring Tommy John surgery, Dr. Kremchek has become one of the most outspoken voices in Southwestern Ohio regarding pitch counts in youth baseball.
