 My name is Dr. Sidhanth Mehta. I'm a board certified orthopedic surgeon, specifically specializing in shoulder and elbow disorders. I currently serve as assistant professor at the Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine, and I am also the chairman of orthopedic surgery at Palisades Medical Center. I take care of younger athletes that have shoulder and elbow injuries, but a large part of my practice actually involves taking care of average people, you know, the construction worker that wants to get back to work, a person that wants to be more active in the gym or even grandma or grandpa that wants to get back to playing with their grandkids. When patients come to me, they're often anxious from the pain they're having and dysfunction they're having, and I want them to trust that I will do what's best for them in getting through their recovery for whichever ailment they might have. The patient progression in my mind is the coolest thing that I see as a practicing physician. You can notice the difference, you can notice the level of comfort the patient's in and a little of confidence that they have in you, having been in a very vulnerable position and then coming back to work, returning to sport, very satisfied with their care. To be able to diagnose patients and take them through their recovery process and get them back to normal function is truly a rewarding experience.
