Gregory M. BeddellDr

Gregory M. Beddell, MD, began his medical training in the accelerated BS/MD program through Northeast Ohio Medical University (NEOMED) in 1998. He completed a combined bachelor’s degree at Youngstown State University in two years, graduating summa cum laude. He then earned his medical degree at NEOMED in 2004. His additional training includes general surgery residency and plastic surgery residency at Summa Health System, Akron City Hospital.

Dr. Beddell spent two years as a staff surgeon at Akron City Hospital between his general surgery and plastic surgery residencies. During this time, the majority of his practice was within the field of trauma surgery, creating an astute understanding of the critically injured patient. He spent an extensive amount of time working in a multidisciplinary fashion on complex patients. He was also able to further refine his interests in surgical education while working closely as a mentor to general surgery residents, developing a trauma educational program for residents, medical students and nursing staff.

While in plastic surgery residency, Dr. Beddell gained knowledge in breast procedures, body contouring procedures, cancer management and reconstruction, trauma reconstruction and all aspects of cosmetic surgery. He also developed a keen interest in head and neck cancer surgery, also recognizing that there is a need in Northeast Ohio for a surgical specialist in this field.
