Dr. Robert Mason, M.D., joined Tidewater Orthopaedics in 2018. He is fellowship-trained by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons in hand and upper extremity surgery. Dr. Mason chose orthopaedics because of his hobbies, carpentry and home improvements, and he could not think of a better career to tie his attention to details with his ability to return patients to activities they enjoy. He respects his patients’ desires and strives to provide them the ability to meet their goals.

Dr. Mason is extremely empathetic, and he spent a lot of time listening to my concerns. He didn’t sugarcoat anything (which I appreciate), and was very upfront with what I needed to do in order to take better care of my joints at my age.

VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND AN EXPERT in his field! He was straight to the point which I LOVED because I loathe doctors that speak in word salads!! Iexplained my symptoms, he completed the necessary tests on my right hand, gave me a brace (which made my hand a little better), and more ordered detailed testing. He has my VOTE! I usually DON'T LIKE YOUNG DOCTORS but glad I gave him a try.

Dr. Robert Mason, M.D., joined Tidewater Orthopaedics in 2018. He is fellowship-trained by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons in hand and upper extremity surgery. Dr. Mason chose orthopaedics because of his hobbies, carpentry and home improvements, and he could not think of a better career to tie his attention to details with his ability to return patients to activities they enjoy. He respects his patients’ desires and strives to provide them the ability to meet their goals. Dr. Mason will be seeing patients at both the Hampton and Suffolk locations.
Dr. Mason was born and raised in the small town of Malone, NY. He started his training at Clarkson University in Potsdam, NY earning a bachelors degree in Chemical Engineering. His first career was in the manufacturing industry where he worked for several years. He returned to Clarkson to earn a Masters in Engineering and Global Operations Management. During this time, his wife became a nurse and he was exposed to the medical field. At that point he realized he had missed his calling and decided to leave the field of manufacturing behind to attend medical school. He attended the State University of New York Upstate Medical University in Syracuse where he received his Doctor of Medicine degree. After medical school, Dr. Mason completed his orthopaedic surgery residency at the University of Rochester Medical Center in Rochester, NY. Then he completed an additional year of training with a focus on upper extremity surgery, shoulder to hand, at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston Salem, NC.
Dr. Mason currently lives in Poquoson, VA with his wife, two children and their huskies. He enjoys spending time with his family, whether it is at the beach, watching a movie or playing/watching sports with their children. In his spare time he enjoys many activities such as basketball, football, baseball, golf, and fishing as well as working on various home improvement projects.
