Research Summary

My research has been in collaboration with a wide variety of faculty members within our institution and others. It has focused primarily on patient outcomes and quality improvement. As a professor of orthopedic surgery at New York University (NYU) and now the Hofstra Zucker School of Medicine and Northwell Health, I have been an author or co-author on a diverse profile of publications. As a member of the prestigious Hip and Knee societies I am frequently invited to lecture at national and international meetings. I serve on the board of the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons (AAHKS) and on the Steering Committee for the American Joint Replacement Registry. These organizations provide critical leadership and educating surgeons and patients providing data for the improvement of patient care and quality on a national level.
