For Dr. David Sedory, the education he received in the classroom and in the OR were just a part of his medical journey. Certainly he shined as a medical student – he graduated Cum Laude from Washington University in St.Louis, MO in 2001 with a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering and earned his medical degree from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, graduating in the top 10% of his class and receiving the honor of Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA) membership.

It’s just that his most intense education came in the military, where he served as a staff surgeon in the U.S. Army. First at a medical facility in Texas and overseas in Afghanistan as part of the 126th Forward Surgical Team, his skills were sharpened as he helped heal those who had been injured serving their country.

“It was a very unique experience,” he said. “At the time it wasn’t the most fun because I was away from family, but in retrospect it was a very eye-opening experience… It was a significant honor to take care of some of the best our country has to offer. To see the sacrifices those guys make put a lot of things in perspective.”

It’s a depth of experience he brings to Optim Orthopedics, where he offers anterior hip replacement, patellofemoral replacement, and total knee replacement among a host of surgical and non-surgical options. Over the past few years he has obtained additional training in hip arthroscopy and hip preservation surgeries with Dr. J.W. Thomas Byrd in Nashville, Tennessee and Dr. Richard Mather at Duke University and has performed hundreds of arthroscopic hip surgeries since 2013.
