About Me
Dr. Sumit Bassi is a sports medicine physician. His passion for sports medicine is evident in his enthusiasm for helping athletes of all ages and skill levels recover from concussions and other injuries.
Dr. Bassi has expertise in various procedures, including ultrasound-guided injections, platelet-rich plasma (using the patient's own blood platelets to stimulate healing) and Coolief (a minimally-invasive, non-narcotic solution for chronic pain). His experience as a pilot helped Dr. Bassi hone his ability to make critical decisions in high-pressure situations. His dedication gives his patients confidence they are in the good hands of a skilled physician.
A leader in his field, Dr. Bassi is medical director of sports medicine at University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake Health, at The John Carroll School (Bel Air, Maryland) and for Harford County Public Schools. In addition to his role as medical director, Dr. Bassi is a part of Upper Chesapeake Orthopedic Specialty Group.
Dr. Bassi earned his Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA) from Washington State University, further enhancing his leadership and business acumen in the health care field. He was among the first international alums to graduate with a Master in Medicine degree from Medical University–Pleven, a medical university in Bulgaria. Since December 2022, he has been the official representative of MU-Pleven in the organizing and conducting of the practical rotation program at University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake Health under the student affiliation agreement between the University of Maryland Medical System Corporation and MU-Pleven. Due to his persistence, the program has become possible. In March 2023, he was awarded the academic title "Honorary International Professor at Medical University-Pleven" for his valuable contribution to medical students' higher education and training mobility. He has been helping international medical students from MU-Pleven with remote lectures and consultations on selected topics in his field of expertise. He did his residency in family medicine and fellowship in sports medicine.
Devoted to community service, Dr. Bassi is a staunch supporter of the Bel Air Police Department, showing his appreciation through kind gestures such as bringing meals and treats to the department for officers and staff to enjoy. In addition, he has been conducting UM Upper Chesapeake Health marathons since 2019. He organized Upper Chesapeake Health’s first orthopedic continuing medical education (CME) event for primary care physicians in 2024 and, in February 2025, led the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine CME event, which featured 25 orthopedic and sports medicine doctors from the University of Maryland presenting on various topics in the field.
