Philosophy of care | Because everyone has unique issues and concerns about their musculoskeletal problem, I spend time learning about what is impacting you and designing a treatment plan to accomplish your goals. I make sure you understand both the details of your condition and the treatments I propose. In this way, we can truly move forward with shared decision-making to achieve an optimal outcome. Educating the next generation of orthopedic surgeons is also a priority of mine; I am leading a team to build a new orthopedic residency training program here at LVHN. | Why I entered medicine | I still remember as a child accompanying my father (an orthopedic surgeon) on his patient rounds. I dreamed of one day helping patients return to the activities they loved just as did. I studied hard, became an EMT, volunteered at a firehouse, worked ski patrol in college and taught the winter care emergency course to my fellow patrollers. In medical school I found orthopedic surgery to be the most exciting path for me, and I have never looked back. I have found immense satisfaction over the years helping patients feel and function better, and am so gratified hearing I have changed their lives for the better. | Community involvement | As the father of two preemies (born 11 weeks early), my wife and I have supported research to investigate the causes of premature birth. We have been on the leadership team for the Philadelphia March of Dimes' annual March for Babies for several years.

I also have been an alumni interviewer for my alma mater, Dartmouth College, for over 20 years. | Personal interests | I enjoy skiing, hiking and biking with my wife, daughter and son.

His top areas of expertise are Osteoarthritis, Pelvic Floor Dysfunction, Bursitis, Tendinitis, and Knee Replacement.

Philosophy of care | I have always felt that physicians should treat the whole patient, not just symptoms. Pain is a complex condition by nature as I cannot feel what you are experiencing. Only by listening to you, examining you, reviewing your studies/imaging, will I be able to accurately pin down what is causing your pain. Taking care of both your mental and physical health is key to putting you on the road to recovery | Why I entered medicine | When it came time for me to decide where I was heading with my life, I decided to explore the medical field by volunteering at the local ER. While the environment of the ER was very chaotic, my experience was nothing short of amazing. It was extremely rewarding to be able to help care for others when they are at the most vulnerable moment. I knew then that I want to take more of a role in helping others. Medicine then felt like a natural path for me to take. | Personal interests | In my free time I enjoy photography, tennis and trying new restaurants. | Image | Lehigh Valley Hospital is ranked 25th in the country for orthopedic care on the 2025-2026 U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals list.

"Philosophy of care | A long-distance runner and former rower, I understand how devastating injuries can be to athletes. My practice is dedicated to helping injured athletes return to peak performance as quickly and safely as possible. | Why I entered medicine | My biggest influences were my great-uncle, Peter Savage, and my father, Thomas Brislin. My great-uncle was an old-time general practitioner. He would do house calls, deliver babies and even set bones. He loved three things: family, medicine and fishing. My father had an old-fashioned ""black bag"" and would have me or my brother bring it to him when he would get called into the hospital for a patient. I would make ""rounds"" with my father when I was 5 or 6 years old. I just felt a deep calling to medicine. I never thought of becoming anything other than a physician. During the summer before my senior year in college, I participated in a program for pre-medical students run by a cardiothoracic surgeon in Scranton. I became very interested in surgery after spending weeks with general surgeons, plastic surgeons, cardiothoracic surgeons, and, of course, orthopedic surgeons. I entered medical school thinking about neonatology, the care of pre-term infants. But I was more drawn to surgery as medical school progressed. I enjoyed orthopedics most of all, because I really felt that this specialty could allow us to help restore patients to full function.". Dr. Brislin is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Tendinitis. His top areas of expertise are Osteoarthritis, Bursitis, Tendinitis, and Tenosynovitis.

Why I entered medicine | I have always been interested medicine. Many members of my family are physicians. I had a great uncle who was one of the earliest neurosurgeons in Canada and two uncles who are surgeons: a neurosurgeon and a cardiothoracic surgeon. My father is also an orthopedic surgeon. They all have taken the time to share their interest and knowledge of medicine with me. During my undergraduate studies, I worked in a laboratory. I found out that working for hours on end at the laboratory bench was not for me. I enjoy interacting with people. I was accepted into medical school prior to obtaining my bachelor’s degree. I have many great memories from my years of training at the University of British Columbia, which I completed in 1990. I decided to specialize in orthopedics during my fourth year of medical school. I enjoyed being involved in the invasive procedures in all specialties. I won a gold medal in anesthesia, but I liked the satisfaction of fixing things in orthopedics. As an orthopedic surgeon, my father never pushed me into orthopedics, but he was happy to see me following in his footsteps.

Now, my practice focuses exclusively on the treatment of hand, finger, wrist and upper extremity conditions. | Why I entered medicine | I became attracted to medicine in high school as my interest in science grew. I really enjoyed science classes, and medicine seemed to be the road map to channel that interest into making a difference in people’s lives.

Philosophy of care | I find great satisfaction helping you get back to the activities you enjoy while also helping improve your overall quality of life. It is my privilege to be part of that process. I always like hearing how patients are being more and more active throughout their years and refusing to slow down. | Why I entered medicine | I became interested in medicine as a high school student as it blended my interests in science and technology. I knew that no two days would be the same in a life of medicine, and date, that has remained true. In medical school, I saw how orthopedics predominantly focuses on improving a patient’s quality of life and the outcomes are very rewarding. I knew at that moment, I wanted to pursue orthopedics. Pursuing sports medicine was a continuation of that as I enjoyed working with very motivated and highly functional athletes of all ages to return to the activities they enjoy. In the field of sports medicine, I enjoy arthroscopy and other minimally invasive techniques as they are constantly changing and improving. | Community involvement | I have had the unique opportunity to work with athletes and athletic programs of every caliber.

I will use my expertise to explain all the particulars of your diagnosis and treatment options so that you can best make informed decisions for yourself. | Why I entered medicine | I decided to pursue a career in medicine at age 13 when my 11-year-old brother was hospitalized with a severe spinal infection. I never waivered in that decision, and found as I went through the process that I thoroughly enjoy helping others, finding ways to solve their problems and being their advocate through medical issues. I enthusiastically enjoy every day doing this type of work. | Community involvement | Since I came to this area in 1995, I have dedicated a substantial portion of my time to the community.

Whether or not a patient needs surgery, good medical care is a process to get a patient from injury or disease to treatment success and I like to remain involved in that complete process. | Why I entered medicine | I entered medicine because I wanted to help people and be challenged intellectually. I chose orthopedics, and specifically sports medicine, due to my passion for being active and playing sports while growing up. Fitness and sports remain an important part of my own life today.
