Dr. Megan Mayer feels right at home at Rockhill Orthopaedic Specialists, having grown up in Lee’s Summit. An athlete herself, she tore her ACL in high school playing basketball and was a patient here at Rockhill. Dr. Gerald Dugan, an orthopedic surgeon, repaired her ACL, and that experience inspired her to become an orthopedic specialist like him so she could help others.
“Athletics has always been important to me, and it really helps me relate to my patients and give them the confidence that I will do my best to return them to their active lifestyle,” said Dr. Mayer.
Dr. Mayer is a fellowship-trained and board-certified orthopedic surgeon with a focus in sports medicine and expertise in hip and knee arthroscopic procedures. She uses the latest treatment techniques to relieve pain, restore mobility, and help patients return to their active lifestyles. The challenge of solving complex problems excites her.
“My experiences allow me to understand their feelings and guide them through their treatment process. Recovery takes time, and knowing what to expect goes a long way to promote success.”
Working in her hometown keeps Dr. Mayer close to her family and friends. Some patients even know her outside of medicine, which helps them connect even further.
Thanks for all you do for our patients and our community, Dr. Mayer!
