Shoulder and Elbow Services

Orthopaedic Shoulder and Elbow Services at URMC provides in-depth care of the shoulder and elbow, from consultation through treatment and rehabilitation, to patients of all ages in the nine-county region surrounding Rochester, NY and beyond.

The Shoulder and Elbow Services difference:

• Our physicians are fellowship-trained and have the highest level of expertise in diagnosing and treating problems both conservatively and with the most updated surgical techniques.
• Our on-site Physical Therapists specialize in shoulder rehabilitation and our Certified Hand Therapists specialize in elbow rehabilitation as well.
• We offer many  specialized services such as:
  • Minimally invasive arthroscopy of the shoulder to treat most shoulder problems–performed on an outpatient basis.
  • Elbow Arthroscopy to treat tennis elbow, arthritic elbow, and stiff elbow.
  • Reconstruction of the shoulder and elbow using minimally invasive techniques as well as complex reconstruction techniques such as tendon transfers, revision surgery, and reverse shoulder arthroplasty.
• Testing, treatment, and physical therapy services are all available under one roof at our convenient Clinton Crossings location in Brighton. Surgeons and therapists collaborate closely to ensure coordinated care.
• Our physician-scientists contribute to the international orthopaedics community by writing medical journal articles and book chapters on the most advanced surgical techniques.
