Dr. Matthew Bassan is a specialist in musculoskeletal medicine and a physician with Atlantic Medical Group’s Ortho-Care Wayne. He cares for adults with acute injuries and chronic joint or back pain by using nonsurgical modalities such as steroid injections and lubrication injections for knee arthritis – as well as medications, bracing, and physical therapy – to reduce pain and promote healing. Fellowship-trained in sports medicine with nearly a decade of clinical experience in nonsurgical orthopedic care, Dr. Bassan provides each patient with the same type of conservative, patient-centered care he would expect to receive himself. He counsels patients on weight management and wellness including individualized lifestyle modification programs and has lectured on topics that include alternatives to opioid treatment, knee arthritis, rotator cuff injuries, and the physiologic effects of exercise. He also teaches medical students at Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine in New York City and has served as team physician for Long Island University Post’s football, wrestling, lacrosse and basketball teams. After graduating as a doctor of osteopathic medicine from Nova Southeastern University, Dr. Bassan completed his residency in family medicine from South Nassau Communities Hospital, receiving his board certification in family medicine. He then pursued a fellowship in sports medicine at North Shore-LIJ Plainview Hospital.
