The Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) is the oldest orthopedic hospital in the United States. It has an extraordinary reputation for providing the highest quality patient care. HSS has been ranked #1 for orthopedic surgery by U.S. News & World Report since 2010. Over 32,000 orthopedic surgical procedures are done at HSS each year, and it has one of the lowest infection rates in the country. HSS is also renowned for its extraordinary nursing staff, and HSS was the first hospital in New York State to receive the Magnet Award for Nursing Excellence five consecutive times.

In addition to its leadership in clinical care, HSS also is a leader in education. HSS has one of the most selective orthopedic residency programs in the country. Dr. Khormaee trained as a resident at HSS, and was selected by her faculty as the top graduating resident of her year. The dedicated HSS tradition of focusing on orthopedic training enhances patient care through continually reinvigorating HSS leadership in orthopedic knowledge and innovation.
