A Multidisciplinary Approach to Care
When treating orthopedic injuries or musculoskeletal disorders, we consider nonsurgical therapies first. Many people achieve pain relief and better function with a combination of physical and occupational therapy and medical treatments. When surgery is needed, our surgeons specialize in minimally invasive approaches and complex orthopedic operations tailored to your specific needs. Through the NewYork-Presbyterian Sports Performance Institute, we offer customized therapy, rehabilitation, training, and services that promote healing and help you get back to peak performance.

Patient Stories
"Being able to do gymnastics in my condition was a way to prove to myself and others that I’m not fragile or different from everyone else.”
“To be able to say today that I am an athlete; I have scoliosis; and most importantly, I didn't let it stop me means more than you can ever imagine.”
Not having the pain, being able to walk and move freely, it's impossible for me to put into words what that means.
I received the best orthopedic care in the city from one of the best orthopedic surgeons in the country.
