Stony Brook University Hospital has been ranked nationally for orthopaedics by U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals 2019-2020 survey; this assessment is designed to assist patients and their doctors in making informed decisions about where to seek care.
“I am very proud that our orthopaedic surgical team has been ranked by U.S. News & World Report as one of the top orthopaedic programs in the nation,” stated Dr. Lawrence Hurst, Professor and Chairman, Chief of the Division of Hand Surgery for the Department of Orthopaedics. “This ranking is testimony to the hard work our surgeons dedicate to patient care, research and surgical education on a daily basis."
