About Me
Benjamin Diffenderfer is an orthopedic physician assistant who sees patients for a wide variety of injuries and ailments. He runs the Bone Health Program and Bone Health Clinic at University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake Health.
Among the conditions Ben treats are:
- General orthopedic issues
- Sports medicine injuries
- Osteoporosis and secondary fracture prevention
Often, Ben treats patients for fractures. He strives to do more than just manage their fracture — he sincerely wants to find out why they suffered the fracture in the first place and help them prevent another one.
"I will investigate why you had a fracture, not just treat it and send you away," he says. "I include medicines, physical therapy and/or nutritional education in personalized treatment plans geared toward improving bone strength and minimizing fracture risk."
Ben has been managing orthopedic issues in the Harford County, Maryland, community for over a decade.
