Orthopedic Surgeon
Our orthopedic surgeon specializes in diagnosing and treating problems of the musculoskeletal system, including bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. Despite the title, much of this work involves non-surgical care.
You may benefit from an evaluation if you have joint pain that limits daily activities, a sports injury that isn’t healing, reduced range of motion, or instability in a knee or shoulder. Ongoing pain after a fall or accident is another reason to schedule a visit.
Treatment often begins with rest, physical therapy, medication, or injections. When these approaches aren’t enough, surgical options such as arthroscopy, ligament repair, or joint replacement may help restore function.

How do I know it’s time to see an orthopedic surgeon?
If you have chronic joint pain that causes you to rely on daily doses of pain medication, it’s a good idea to seek the help of an orthopedic specialist. There are many nonsurgical and surgical treatments that focus on rehabilitating your joints so you can gain mobility and decrease your dependency on pain medications. If your symptoms include any of the following, you may benefit from an appointment with Dr. Dayan and his highly qualified, caring team:
- Difficulty performing daily tasks, such as getting dressed or walking up stairs
- Swelling around a joint that doesn’t improve
- Limited range of motion in a particular joint
- Signs of infection in the joint, like inflammation and redness
Dr. Dayan is an expert at diagnosing the underlying cause of your joint pain so he can prescribe an individualized treatment plan. Surgery is always the last resort when all other nonsurgical treatment methods no longer provide the long-term relief you need to resume a more active lifestyle without pain. Your treatment plan may include physical therapies, joint injections, and regenerative medicine, such as stem cell injections, before you explore surgical options.
What qualifications does an orthopedic surgeon have?
Orthopedic surgeons go through an extensive educational and residency training program. In addition to those requirements, Dr. Dayan also completed a fellowship in adult reconstructive orthopedic surgery at New York University Langone Orthopedic Hospital, which means he is a distinguished fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgery (FAAOS).
