About Me
Dr. Bassi is a sports medicine physician. He did his residency in family medicine and fellowship in sports medicine. His passion for sports medicine is evident in his enthusiasm for helping athletes of all ages and skill levels recover from concussions and other injuries..
Dr. Bassi's expertise extends to various procedures, including ultrasound-guided injections, platelet-rich plasma (using the patient's own blood platelets to stimulate healing) and Coolief (radiofrequency procedure for multiple joints). His dedication inspires confidence in his patients that they are in the good hands of a skilled physician.
His experience as a pilot helped hone Dr. Bassi's ability to make critical decisions in high-pressure situations, which has instilled a sense of trust in his patients and colleagues. Whether it's communicating clearly with air traffic controllers and crew members or effectively with patients, families and other healthcare professionals, his sound decision-making under pressure is a testament to his expertise.
A leader in his field, Dr. Bassi is medical director of sports medicine at University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake Health, The John Carroll School (Bel Air, Maryland) and Harford County Public Schools. In addition to his role as medical director, Dr. Bassi is a part of Upper Chesapeake Orthopedic Specialty Group.
Dr. Bassi has been conducting UM Upper Chesapeake Health marathons since 2019 and was the director of Upper Chesapeake Health's first orthopedic continuing medical education (CME) event for primary care physicians (in 2024).. He has been teaching medical students. He was awarded the title of honorary professor from Medical University Pleven (Bulgarian, Europe) for teaching medical students online during COVID-19 and later offline during their elective rotations.
