Hospital for Special Surgery announced today that it is expanding its services on Long Island with a new location in Southampton. It is the first Suffolk County location for the New York City-based health system.
"We are pleased to make better quality care more convenient for the Long Island community," said Mark Drakos, MD, medical director of HSS Long Island. "HSS Southampton responds to a steady increase in demand for our highly specialized orthopedic care from eastern Long Island."
HSS Southampton is the second outpatient location on Long Island for HSS, which completed a major expansion and renovation of its longstanding offices in Uniondale, in Nassau County in 2022.
Physicians at the Southampton location will offer expertise in sports medicine, foot and ankle surgery, hand surgery, pain management, physiatry, spinal care and orthopedic trauma. They are the same physicians who see patients at the main hospital in New York City. Individuals who are candidates for orthopedic surgery would go to the Upper East Side hospital.
"Long Island residents who have surgery in New York City are pleased to have the convenience of scheduling their pre-operative visits and post-operative care on Long Island," Dr. Drakos noted.
HSS Southampton is located at 56 Flying Point Road in Southampton.
HSS is nationally ranked No. 1 in orthopedics (for the 14th consecutive year). It is also the best pediatric orthopedic hospital in NY, NJ and CT by U.S. News & World Report "Best Children's Hospitals" list (2023-2024). In a survey of medical professionals in more than 20 countries by Newsweek, HSS was ranked No. 1 worldwide in orthopedics for a third consecutive year in 2023. HSS physicians serve as team doctors for the New York Giants, New York Knicks, New York Liberty, New York Mets, Long Island Nets and other professional sports teams.
