Edward A. Marcheschi, MD

While all Wellington physicians specialize in the care of bones, muscles and joints, Dr. Ed Marcheschi offers a unique perspective as an internist and one of Wellington’s specialists in primary care sports medicine.

Dr. Marcheschi diagnoses and manages various musculoskeletal injuries, whether acute or chronic. He provides high quality sports medicine care which, Dr. Marcheschi says, “requires the ability to make sound clinical judgment, recognizing the value of non-invasive diagnostic tests, and to personalize care to the patient’s lifestyle. Whether prescribing rehabilitation or an exercise program, my goal is to return my patients to their previous level of activity as soon and as safely possible.”

Dr. Marcheschi is a member of the American College of Sports Medicine and has presented at the national conference of the American Medical Society of Sports Medicine.

As a primary care sports medicine physician, board certified in internal medicine, Dr. Marcheschi manages musculoskeletal injuries as part of the Wellington team of physicians and provides subspecialty care to athletes who sustain sports-related concussions. Dr. Marcheschi directs Wellington's Concussion Management Program and via use of a sophisticated software-based neuropsychological test, he is able to determine the severity of a sports-related concussion and return athletes to play safely.

Nearly 10 years of post-graduate training prepared him for this unique role. After completing a residency in internal medicine at Cincinnati’s University Hospital, he went on to sub-specialize in sports medicine. He completed an 18-month fellowship at Methodist Sports Medicine Center, a nationally recognized primary care sports medicine program in Indianapolis. He has conducted research in the field of sports medicine and participated in a published study of hamstring injuries in professional football players with the Indianapolis Colts.
An avid sports fan himself, Dr. Marcheschi enjoys playing tennis, basketball and soccer. He has served as a team physician for athletes of various levels, from high school to professional, and describes his work with the NFL Indianapolis Colts as an “extremely rewarding experience.”

Returning to Cincinnati is a source of both professional and personal satisfaction for Dr. Marcheschi. He recognizes Wellington as a premier sports medicine institution and joined, he says, “to be part of a sports medicine practice that is recognized for its ongoing education and contributions to the field of sports medicine.” Having been raised in Cincinnati, he's pleased with the opportunity to provide medical care in his hometown.
