Elizabeth (Liz) Dahley was born and raised in the Tri-Cities area and graduated high school from Daniel Boone High School in Washington County, TN. Liz was a gymnast for 20 years and sustained a number of orthopedic-related injuries, which inspired her interest in orthopedics. She was a student-athlete at King University and graduated with a bachelor's degree in human biology and minor studies in exercise science and psychology. She completed her master’s in physician assistant studies from Lincoln Memorial University in Knoxville, TN, and obtained expanded training in surgical sciences. While in school, she rotated with Appalachian Orthopedics for three months during her clinical year and started working with the practice shortly after she graduated.

Outside of medicine, Liz enjoys playing with her dogs, Titan and Tucker, and relaxing at the lake on the weekends. She and her husband are avid football fans and can be found most Saturdays and Sundays at Tennessee Vols and Tennessee Titans games.
