Joshua M Reside, MD : Bio and credentials

I have spent a lifetime playing sports and have always been interested in the complexity of the human body. During my medical training at the University of Florida, my interest deepened as I witnessed the transformative work of orthopaedic surgeons. Not only did they repair injuries and restore function for patients, but they also provided hope and enabled them to return to activities they love. This ignited my passion for orthopaedics, and I began my training in the field. The ability to merge my interest in anatomy, movement, and patient care in such a tangible way drives me every day.

My goal with each patient is to build a strong, empathetic connection that fosters trust and partnership. I believe healing is a collaborative journey. By working closely with my patients, we can make informed decisions together, ensuring their treatment plan is both effective and aligned with their personal goals. I aim to provide expert medical care while empowering my patients to be active participants in their recovery.

I want patients to know how deeply I care about their journey to health. A mentor in medical school once shared with me, Patients don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. I take this to heart by trying to remember my patients personally and by showing them I'm truly invested in their well-being.

My favorite thing to do is spend time with my wife and newborn daughter. I also enjoy exercising and staying active by playing golf, skiing, and hiking. I love traveling and following Detroit and Michigan State University athletics. I met my wife, a pediatrician in the U.S. Navy, in medical school at UF, and we are happy to be returning home to our roots.
