Dr. Anthony Abene

Dr. Abene began his road to medicine at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey. He graduated with honors before continuing on to Georgetown University School of Medicine in Washington, DC, where he graduated in 1994, also with honors. At Georgetown, he was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Society. He then completed a five-year residency at the University of Pennsylvania and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. The next three years were spent with the Air Force and included assignments in Germany, the Azores, and the Persian Gulf. He received several decorations during this time, including both the Army and Air Force Commendation Medals. During this time, he was also appointed as a clinical professor in surgery at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences. Additionally, he obtained his MBA in Health Care Administration from Touro University in Cypress, California while still on active duty. After an honorable discharge, Dr. Abene spent a year in a sports medicine fellowship at Stanford University, working side-by-side with Drs. Dillingham and Fanton, learning cutting-edge arthroscopic techniques. The fellowship allowed him to work with world-class athletes, including those at Stanford and Santa Clara Universities on the collegiate level and the 49ers and Giants on the professional level. This has led to my clinical focus in sports medicine. Currently, he provides care for Division One athletes at San Jose State University, the San Jose Barracuda and the San Jose Sharks.
