An award-winning orthopaedic surgeon with over 35 years of experience in knee surgery, sports medicine, and medical innovation.

Dr. Thomas Meade

My career has been defined by cutting-edge advancements in kinematic knee arthroplasty, robotics,and opioid-free recovery, all with one goal—to improve patient outcomes through technology, education, and compassionate care.

My Journey In Medicine

My passion for orthopaedics began after a shoulder injury as a collegiate athlete that led me to experience firsthand the impact of expert surgical care. Inspired, I pursued medicine, earning my degree from Jefferson Medical College with AOA honors and completing an orthopaedic residency at TJUH/Rothman Institute, followed by a sports medicine fellowship specializing in advanced knee reconstruction at Cincinnati SportsMedicine and Orthopaedic Center.

Since then, I have performed over 21,000 knee procedures and have been at the forefront of kinematic knee arthroplasty, robotics, navigation, opioid-free surgery, and outpatient knee replacement.

As a competitive US Masters Swimmer, cyclist, and triathlete, I know the critical role that movement and rehabilitation play in long-term joint health. My own experiences with surgical recovery and aquatic therapy have shaped my approach, reinforcing the importance of low-impact training and personalized rehabilitation strategies.
This perspective drives my commitment to minimally invasive, patient-centric treatments that restore mobility, reduce recovery time, and improve long-term outcomes.

As the host of The Dr. Meade Show and Truth in Medicine, I am dedicated to exposing misinformation in healthcare and empowering patients with evidence-based insights.
