THAD DEAN

Growing up as a multisport athlete, Thad Dean always knew he wanted to work to help people overcome injuries. Initially, he thought that might look like a career as an athletic trainer for a college or professional sports team. Instead, he found his calling in joint replacement and orthopedic oncology. Known to patients for his compassionate bedside manner, Dr. Dean has put in the extra time and training to become experienced with minimally invasive robot-assisted surgery and limb salvage surgery. Raised in the Midwest, Dr. Dean completed his medical school and residency training in Missouri, Ohio, and Florida and completed fellowship training at Emory in Atlanta before moving to Texas. “My fi rst fi ve years of practice were under an academic appointment with University of North Texas and John Peter Smith Hospital,” he said.

“I was honored to join Arlington Orthopedic to build a private practice involving the communities where I live and work.”

He performs hip and knee surgery of multiple levels of complexity including knee and shoulder arthroscopy, robotic primary joint replacement, revision hip and knee replacement, and limb salvage surgery for musculoskeletal cancers and particularly enjoys applying robotic joint replacement techniques to assist making complex joint replacement more precise and reproducible. Dr. Dean spends his free time watching and coaching his children’s sports teams, traveling, snorkeling, diving, and mastering his skills on the smoker. He and his family attend St. Vincent DePaul Catholic Church.
