Edwin P. Su, MD
 I first became interested in orthopaedic surgery as a medical student when I
saw the amazing successes of hip and knee treatments at the Hospital for
Special Surgery. This interest became a passion of mine during my training,
giving me inspiration to pursue a fellowship in hip and knee reconstructive
surgery.
I have a special interest in treating younger, active
patients who would like to return to their physical lifestyles. I try to
utilize the latest proven technologies with the most cutting edge
techniques, to achieve optimal results for this challenging group of
patients.
I feel a very privileged to do what I do -- to reconstruct
joints, relieve pain, restore mobility, and return patients to activity. All
at the #1 rated orthopaedic hospital in the world, the Hospital for Special
Surgery!
