At the Department of Orthopedics, we thrive on the unique prospect of delivering world-class care to an expanding patient population. The Mount Sinai Health System reaches across the New York metropolitan area, with networks that extend throughout the region. To provide exceptional care, we have cultivated a culture partnership across our departments and hospitals—because only by combining our expertise and resources can we ensure that our legacy of clinical, educational, and research excellence continues. 

We also enjoy the opportunity to truly improve patient lives through our restorative treatments, many of which are advanced by our rigorous research in both clinical and basic science. Our Orthopedic Research Laboratories embrace a multidisciplinary approach to breakthrough science, and the results have been award-winning. Paired with our clinical talent, we regularly improve the practice of orthopedic surgery, while gathering data for further outcomes research. With our expansive patient population, this outcomes research is perfectly positioned to resonate throughout the entire field of orthopedics. 

Above all, the Department of Orthopedics welcomes fresh perspectives from new faculty, residents, researchers, and students. We recognize that this new infusion of energy, in collaboration with our existing experts, will usher in a brighter future for every patient. To that end, I invite you to learn more about our programs, our faculty, and our deep commitment to providing the best in medical education, patient care, and scientific research.
