Dr. Robert was professional, and he was very knowledgeable and thorough after reading my X-rays on my thumbs. He explained everything in detail even if I have to have surgery on my thumbs in the future. He was amazing and I have been recommending him already to my coworkers! From the time I called to make my appointment I was pleased with Tidewater Orthopedics. The receptionist when I entered was very pleasant and professional and when I left the other receptionist very pleasant and professional as well. Kudos to the X-ray tech also she made feel very comfortable and she helped me with the position of my hands. I was very pleased with my first appointment at Tidewater Orthopedic Clinic in Harborview. Keep up the excellent service.

Dr. Mason was very thorough. We reviewed the latest x-ray together and he pointed the injury and the current diagnosis. He examine my hand in different locations. He explained my options. I appreciate his honesty about the surgical option. He administered an injection in my wrist. He also booked an appointment with his PA to follow up on how I fared with the injection. Dr Mason is a true professional in every sense of the word.

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.

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.
