 My name is Dr. Sean Meredith. I'm an assistant professor at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. I'm an orthopedic surgeon. I specialize in sports medicine. And I work at a variety of locations in and around Baltimore, spanning from north of Baltimore and Hunt Valley all the way south into our Capital Region network and down at College Park. I take care of patients a wide range of ages from kids up to adults. I take care of hip, knee, and shoulder problems, sort of the full spectrum of problems with all of those joints. And like I said, I specialize in sports medicine, so I take care of lots of active people and lots of athletes of various levels. As an academic surgeon, I have sort of a range of things that I do on a daily basis. So I'm definitely a busy clinician taking care of patients, seeing patients in the office and operating. But I do clinical research. So we work on clinical outcomes and looking at how patients are doing, basically, and trying to track different metrics and seeing how we can optimize results. I also teach a lot. So as part of my job at the School of Medicine, I teach the medical students, musculoskeletal medicine. And I teach our residents a lot about becoming an orthopedic surgeon and sort of training our next generation. My goal for patients is largely to get back to doing what they want to do as quick as they can in a safe manner. So most patients come in because they have pain in one of these joints, and they can't do what they want to do. And my job I see is how can I get them back to doing what they want to do? And I try to never limit anyone, and we try to get them back as best we can. And the majority of time that means without surgery, which is certainly what we want to do, because usually that's faster, and that's a good way to get people back. But sometimes it requires surgery and basically making the patient's experience as good as possible, going through that and getting back to doing what they want to do. You know, I'm a physician that people go to because I'm willing to talk to you in an honest manner and try to make it as simple as possible. And I think that's one thing patients tell me is helpful is that I'm sort of explain things in a normal manner so that it makes sense to help them along through their injuries or issues.
