Dr. Dana Piasecki’s medical career has taken him all over the nation.  His education began with an undergraduate degree      in Biology at Harvard University.  He then moved south to obtain his doctorate in medicine from Vanderbilt and back north to New York to complete an orthopedic surgery residency at the esteemed Hospital for Special Surgery.  Dr. Piasecki completed his Sports Medicine Fellowship at Rush University Medical Center, where he also served as Assistant Team Physician for the Chicago White Sox and Chicago Bulls, and Head Team Physician for the Chicago Steel hockey      squad. During his fellowship year, he instructed orthopedic surgery residents and authored more than twenty peer reviewed publications.

In addition to his professional pursuits, Dr. Piasecki has a      long personal history with athletics. He is a former rower,         waterpolo player, Division I NCAA swimmer, and was a        member of the United States National Flatwater Sprint         Kayaking Team (1996-2000). He was a U.S. Olympic Training Center resident athlete for two years, narrowly missing a        2000 Olympic kayaking berth and winning medals at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials, U.S. National Championships, World      Sprint Team Trials and Canadian National Championships.

Beyond his love of sports, Dr. Piasecki greatly enjoys traveling with his wife – who is a neonatologist - and son.
