    Joint Effort- Special Father’s Day Episode

    Patrick Sullivan, MD, and his son Jason Sullivan, MD are two orthopedic surgeons here at DMOS. In this Joint Effort episode, the father-son duo chat about their upbringing, family life, education, and even share a few funny stories! Learn about how Dr. Jason Sullivan followed in his father’s footsteps in becoming an orthopedic surgeon. Dr. Jason Sullivan explains, “When I was growing up, you never said, ‘hey, you need to do orthopedics.’ I think I just saw a pretty good career, and I thought it would keep me intellectually stimulated.” Dr. Patrick Sullivan stated the importance of making your own career choices, “It’s very interesting that you made the independent choice, and you’re happy with it like I was; I’m happy and proud of you for that. I think everyone has to find their own way to what they want to do.” Over their time at DMOS, they have had cases where they could combine their skillset and work alongside one another. Working together has allowed the two to learn from each other’s surgical experiences and expertise. Dr. Jason Sullivan exclaimed, “That to me was a heck of a lot of fun.” They both enjoy the times they have gotten to work together and hope to do more cases together in the future.  As for the next generation of Sullivans, is orthopedics in the cards? Dr. Jason asked Dr. Patrick if he would encourage any of his children to do orthopedics. “Here’s what I’d tell them to do. Find out what you’re good at. Try a whole bunch of things; see where your natural interests, skills, and intellect range is. Then find a career in that sphere that allows you independence and to be sort of self-employed, so you have more control of your world and enjoy what you do.”  The Sullivan’s have a combined total of over 40 years at DMOS. Their dedication to providing the highest quality of orthopedic care and their support from one another is extraordinary. We dedicate this Father’s day episode to all the wonderful dads in the world. Happy Father’s Day!
