About

When pain or an injury keeps you from living the way you want, you deserve a clear plan and a team that treats you like a person. Whether you’re trying to get back on the field, stay active as you get older, or finally address ongoing joint pain, our goal is simple: help you move better, feel stronger, and return to what you love with confidence.

Our practice provides advanced orthopedic care in New York, NY with a focus on sports medicine, joint preservation, and long-term performance. Led by Dr. Danyal H. Nawabi at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS), we combine expert diagnosis, modern treatment options, and structured recovery support to guide you from first visit through full return to activity.

Our Mission: Help You Stay Active for the Long Term

We believe great orthopedic care is built on three things:

  • Clear answers: You should understand what’s causing your symptoms and what your options are.
  • Personalized treatment: Your plan should match your goals, your body, and your lifestyle.
  • Better outcomes: Whether you need therapy, a procedure, or surgery, the focus is durable function, not short-term relief.

From athletes to active adults, we’re here to protect your joints and support confident movement.

What We Treat

We specialize in orthopedic care for the joints that drive performance and daily comfort, especially the kneehip, and shoulder. Our team treats both sudden injuries and chronic conditions.

Our Services and Treatment Approach

We offer a full range of options, from non-surgical care to advanced procedures. Your plan may include:

  • Sports medicine evaluations and return-to-activity planning
  • Personalized physical therapy and recovery guidance
  • Injections in select cases
  • Arthroscopic procedures for the knee, hip, and shoulder
  • Joint preservation strategies to protect cartilage and joint function
  • Joint replacement options when arthritis is advanced and other treatments no longer help

We take the time to match the right treatment to the right person, so you feel confident that the plan makes sense for you.

A Team-Based Experience From Start to Finish

Orthopedic care works best when it feels coordinated and supportive. Our practice is built around a team approach that helps you feel taken care of at every stage, including:

  • Efficient scheduling and guidance before your visit
  • Clear explanations of imaging, diagnosis, and treatment options
  • Help navigating next steps such as therapy, procedures, and follow-up
  • A focus on recovery planning, not just treatment

Care for Athletes and Active Patients

We understand that athletes and active people have different needs. You don’t just want pain relief, you want:

  • Stability you can trust
  • Strength that supports performance
  • A recovery plan with sport-specific goals
  • A return-to-play pathway that reduces re-injury risk

Our practice is especially experienced in high-demand sports movements like cutting, pivoting, sprinting, and contact, common in sports like soccer.
