A former captain of the Johns Hopkins University men's basketball and lacrosse teams, Dr. Becker never forgot the orthopaedist who helped him return to the sports he loved following a painful injury. He was so impressed by the orthopaedist's skills, in fact, that Dr. Becker decided to pursue a career in orthopaedic surgery himself.

Dr. Becker went on to pioneer arthroscopic surgery in Baltimore and became one of the first surgeons in Maryland to perform the procedure. A former chairman of the Baltimore Medical Society Sports Medicine Committee, he has lectured to numerous groups and organizations throughout the State on knee disorders, sports medicine and arthroscopy procedures.

“My background in competitive sports enables me to identify with the athlete's desire to return to his or her sport as quickly as possible,” notes Dr. Becker, who has been in practice for over 33 years. “It's truly a thrill watching my patients recover from knee surgery and resume their active lifestyles, whatever their age!”
