Dr. Mahon is a graduate of the University of Notre Dame and the Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons. He completed his orthopaedic surgery residency at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center, and a hand surgery fellowship at the Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. While at Columbia he found that orthopaedic hand surgery was a great fit for his personality and skill set. He loved the variety of cases and the excitement of diagnosing and treating a patient's problem. This process of analysis is like detective work to him. Patient care is where Dr. Mahon excels. "My goal with patients is simple: identify their problem and develop the best plan of action". Always the educator, Dr. Mahon believes a well-informed patient results in the optimal outcome. "I hope to properly educate them on their condition and explain what needs to be done and why. I want patients to be comfortable with me and have confidence in their treatment plan." Collaborating with the team at Beacon he's able to tackle the most complex problems. In his free time you can find him reading through Pulitzer Prize-winning novels with his wife, completing crossword puzzles with his father, training for triathlons with his friends and family, or teaching indoor cycling at Beacon Health and Fitness.
