Stephen Reed
excelled in science. While he loved the testing and analysis, there was
something missing... people. A teacher in high school began teaching
from a medical physiology book and it blended together Reed's love for
science and people. He became part of a Boy Scout Medical Explorers post
and volunteered at his local hospital. The exposure he received through
that program inspired him to become a doctor. After observing different
surgeons in the operating room, he was most intrigued with orthopaedics.
It is a "hands on" specialty where the results are quickly seen and
easily measured.
Dr. Reed also enjoys the relationships he builds with his patients. The
rewards of his career are being able to see patients resume activities
without pain, and know that he played a part in that process.
The Central Florida area is a perfect place for Stephen Reed
to follow his commitment to people. He loves to practice in hospitals
that are large enough to provide the services needed, but small enough
to know the staff that cares for his patients. He also likes to work
with hospital personnel in developing systems and procedures for the
improvement of patient outcomes.
Dr. Reed and his wife have 4 children and love the family atmosphere of
this area. If you can't find him in the office or at the hospital, he's
probably on a field somewhere cheering on his favorite player.
