      General Info
      About Dr. ORourkeDr. Ryan ORourke is most often asked, Will I be able to get my life back after my joint replacement? And the answer is yes! People do remarkably well after joint replacement surgery, and they are eventually able to return to their usual activities pain-free, he says. It truly is life?changing, and that is why I derive so much pleasure from what I do.His interest in medicine began in high school when, during a soccer game, his brother sustained a tibia fracture that required surgery. Ryan was very involved in his brothers postoperative care and rehabilitation.His interest in orthopedics grew from there, but the decision to become a doctor was solidified in his college years, when his wife was diagnosed with a brain tumor. She underwent three brain surgeries, Dr. ORourke explains. After witnessing such compassion and truly life-changing work from the remarkable neurosurgeon and his medical team, I realized I wanted to commit my life to helping patients as a physician.As an orthopedic surgeon, Dr. ORourke cares for people with limb and joint pain, specializing in joint replacement surgery of the hip and knee and revision joint replacement surgery. I love what I do because I truly think the happiest patients are those who have suffered from debilitating arthritis and have been given the gift of a new joint, allowing them to return to the activities they love with renewed quality of life.He chose Beacon because of the strong emphasis on patient-centered care. As an orthopedic group, we firmly believe in providing the best possible patient care through a team-based approach, he explains. There is strong collegiality among our providers, and this makes the experience of practicing medicine so much more fun and rewarding.Dr. ORourkes philosophy is to treat every patient as if they were his own family member. I have been humbled by several life experiences where I was the patient, spouse, or parent in the hospital room, terrified and uncertain about the outcome of a frightening medical situation, he adds. It has changed my perspective as a physician.His patients have taught him the importance of just listening to their concerns and embracing a good bedside manner. It helps him more effectively treat their condition, resulting in a better outcome. I hope patients will learn that they dont have to travel far or to major universities to get high-quality orthopedic care, he says. I give every patient 100% of my undivided attention and effort, in the clinic and in surgery. I demand perfection of myself. I dont settle for acceptable; I strive for excellence.In his own words Who is or was the most influential person/role model in your life? My parentsthey are hardworking people from humble backgrounds who dedicated their lives to creating a better life for their children.What was your first job growing up? My first job was at a car wash when I was in high school. I vividly remember the burning sweat in my eyes in the hot summer and frostbitten fingers in the winter. In the end, it taught me a lot about the importance of hard work and teamwork.What is your favorite food? Movie? What was your best subject in school? My favorite food is perfectly grilled, medium-rare Wagyu steak. My favorite movie is Saving Private Ryan, a Steven Spielberg war movie reminding us of a time when we were a more united country and the ultimate sacrifice that so many made to help restore order to the world. Math and science were my best subjects. English was probably my worst, but I still did well.If you could sit down to dinner with anyone (alive or deceased) who would it be and why? I would have dinner with my grandfather, Charles. He had a big personality and was loved by so many. I have such fond memories of him when I was child before he passed away.In addition to medicine, what are you passionate about? What are your hobbies/interests? I love sports, hiking, grilling and smoking foods, but above all else, I most enjoy spending quality time...
