"My approach to care is a collaborative one," said Dickey in a news release. "The patient-physician dyad is paramount and one that sees the two working in concert towards the best outcome, with the relationship being one in which each side directs and shares input on options and treatment choices.

"And above all, able to share a laugh and a smile."

Dickey joins colleagues F. Lincoln Avery, Zachary Blakeman, Steven Coates, Thomas Pulling and Lillian Taylor. 

Dickey was most recently employed as an orthopedic surgeon in Colorado at Anschutz Medical Center and the Department of Veterans Affairs at Eastern Colorado Health Care. Before that, orthopedic care for 11 years at Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center.

In 2003, he also completed a fellowship in orthopedic oncology and adult reconstruction at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.

The Bangor resident co-founded the charity Chords for Cure to support Maine children fighting cancer and is chair of the Bangor Fourth of July celebration organizing committee.

Franklin Health Orthopedics offers sports medicine, podiatry and orthopedic services, joint replacement surgery, care for fractures, joint injection and general orthopedics.
