Richard Obedian To Mentor Young Surgeons

HICKSVILLE, NY, March 13, 2014

Within the medical community, Richard Obedian is widely regarded as one of the best orthopedic surgeons currently in practice. He earned his medical degree from the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1993, where he was selected for membership in the Apha Omega Honor Society, and won the Admiral David Willard Lyon Award.

As impressive as these credentials are, Richard Obedian says his success is largely due to his strong work ethic. But Richard Obedian is quick to acknowledge that he could not have had the success he has had without a lot of help along the way. Richard Obedian acknowledges several great coaches and mentors who, early on, recognized his developing talent.

"Although I am really proud of how successful my career has been, I know that it would not be the way that it is today if it were not for the help, support, coaching, and guidance that I received from a number of professional mentors at the earliest stages of my career," Richard Obedian said. "Without those more experienced professionals taking the time out of their incredibly busy schedules to work with me and guide me through the challenging situations that I faced at the earliest parts of my career, I doubt that I would be this successful."

Now Richard Obedian says it is his turn to give back. He is truly and deeply committed to reaching out to younger members of the medical profession and offering them the benefit of everything he has learned. Richard Obedian says that he has not yet come up with specific details for his mentoring plans. However, Richard Obedian was quick to add that he hopes to begin mentoring younger medical professionals as soon as he possibly can.

"I know that the first several years of medical practice, especially for surgeons, can be extremely difficult and present many unique challenges," Richard Obedian explained. "However, I am confident that I can take my many years of experience and use them to help guide younger doctors and surgeons through these challenging times. I am more than thrilled that I will have new and exciting opportunities to reach out to younger surgeons and give them the support and guidance that they will no doubt need during these times."

Richard Obedian says that he has begun reaching out to newer surgeons in his area to see if they think they would benefit from having a mentor.

Richard Obedian is an experienced orthopedic surgeon who prides himself on being as ethical as possible, and with providing outstanding care and treatment to each of his patients. Richard Obedian believes that mentorship is one of the best ways that an older and more experienced surgeon can help support the newest generation of doctors and surgeons. Richard Obedian says that he is excited for this new opportunity and that he hopes that his help, guidance, and support will benefit a number of new and less experienced surgeons.

When Richard Obedian is not working in his orthopedic surgery practice or mentoring younger surgeons, he enjoys spending time with his friends and family. Richard Obedian has a practice in Hicksville, New York.
