 My name is William Bayone. I'm an orthopedic surgeon that specializes in adult reconstruction of the hip and knee. I work out of Jersey Shore University Medical Center, as well as Old Bridge Medical Center. I think the professional achievement I'm most proud of is just the fact that I'm sitting here. I come from pretty humble beginnings. My parents are both immigrants. My mom's a single mom. I grew up in inner-city Brooklyn. I didn't know anyone that went to college. I never met anyone that went to medical school. There were no doctors, no lawyers. So I worked really hard to get where I am. One of the ways that I help patients to navigate their care is I make them an active participant in their care. I like people to understand what's going on. So sometimes maybe I'm an over-explaner, but I like people to understand what their problem is from the beginning. I think if they get that from the beginning, it directly impacts how they recover. I think the thing that makes me look forward to going to work every day is that I really get to change people's lives. And I know that sounds corny, but in reality you really are taking a situation where a patient trusts you. You know, they come to you with a problem and they instill in you their faith and their confidence that you're going to help them. And the ability to do that, to see people that could barely walk, smiling, walking into your office, to see people that are involved in accidents that fall, walking again without pain, that's very satisfying.
