Dr. Bryan Bean realized he wanted to become an orthopaedic surgeon during his 3rd year of medical school. He entered medical school with an early interest in oncology but after starting surgical rotations, he gravitated toward orthopaedics. Observing orthopaedic patients progress rapidly through all phases from diagnosis to treatment to recovery and the corresponding patient-physician relationship was extremely satisfying.
“I realized orthopaedic surgeons could make an immediate and lasting impact on a patient’s function, pain and quality of life.”
Dr. Bean feels that greatest moments professionally come from interactions with his patients. He once treated a patient seeking a fifth opinion that had been written off by many of her previous providers. He was able to uncover a part of her story that others had not seen or spent the time to understand, and this ultimately led to her diagnosis and successful treatment.
“The patient was grateful I had taken the time to listen to all the details of her story and remain open to ideas that others had not considered.”
His road to a career in medicine was not traditional.
“Prior to medical school I had a career as a chemical engineer at a biotechnology company, Genentech, that made many life-saving and life-altering medicines. My desire to be closer to the patient-side of medicine led me to medical school.”
Clinical Interests
Dr. Bean’s subspecialty is foot & ankle orthopaedics. He enjoys a diverse practice treating a variety of conditions. He particularly enjoys treating traumatic injuries, sports injuries, tendon disorders, complex deformity, revision procedures, and arthritis of the foot & ankle (including ankle replacements), but he enjoys treatment of all foot and ankle conditions, including bunions, hammertoes, and the manifestations of diabetes.
Education and Training
Dr. Bean attended the UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine in Los Angeles, CA and completed his orthopaedic residency at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, NC. He completed the Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Fellowship Program at MedStar Union Memorial Hospital an affiliate of Georgetown University and Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore, MD.

He’s the best!! Mr Bean is extremely professional and knowledgeable. He seems to really cares about his patients and doesn’t make you feel rushed as he listens and addresses all your concern.
I was very impressed with the way Dr Bean addressed my issues. He took the time to listen to my concerns, reviewed my xrays with me, and presented a plan that made sense to get me back in the game! I look forward to having him on my team! Great experience! Thanks!
Excellent doctor and staff. 100 percent satisfied with my surgery. Would highly recommend Dr Bean to friends and family alike!
Very happy with craftsmanship on my repaired ankle. Lucky to have found Dr.Bean on the day of my injury.
He is the best! Always explaining everything perfectly! Highly recommend!
Meticulous work and also great bedside manner; such a rarity to find both in any doctor. I wouldn’t have trusted my total foot reconstruction to anyone else. (And I’m aware I’m not the easiest patient!)
Responsive; good communicator, and also very pleasant to interact with!
Amazing service! I would highly recommend!
He had an incredible bedside manner very thorough and precise. Thank you.
Really listens to what you are trying to understand yourself
