Orthopedics: Ranked #1 in the US for 15 consecutive years;

Rheumatology: Ranked #3 in the US


Many individuals dream of accessing the world's best medical care when facing serious health issues. For international patients, this often means traveling to the United States for treatment.


However, navigating the complex US healthcare system from abroad can be challenging. Language barriers, logistical complexities, and high costs can make top-tier treatment seem unattainable.


But what if there was a way to bridge this gap?


That's where HSS, the beacon of world-class orthopedic care, and Medebound HEALTH, your professional guide to accessing world-class medical services, come in.


Profile and Advantages of HSS


Since its inception in 1863, HSS has risen to become a globally prominent academic medical center specializing in musculoskeletal health. As the largest joint replacement center in the world and the birthplace of artificial knee replacement surgery, HSS boasts exceptional medical expertise, achieving the lowest orthopedic readmission rate in the US and ranking among the top in infection and complication control.


According to the 2024-2025 rankings by Newsweek, HSS's leading specialties include:


  • Orthopedics: Ranked #1 globally (for the past four consecutive years)


According to the 2024-2025 rankings by U.S. News & World Report, HSS's leading specialties include:


  • Orthopedics: Ranked #1 in the US (for the past fifteen consecutive years)

  • Rheumatology: Ranked #3 in the US


Additionally, HSS has been recognized as the Best Hospital for Children's Orthopedics by U.S. News & World Report. Furthermore, HSS is the first hospital in New York City to receive the Magnet Recognition Program® for Nursing Excellence and the first in New York State to receive this highest honor in nursing for five consecutive times.


What sets HSS apart goes beyond rankings. It comprises the following eight departments:

  • Adult Hip & Knee Reconstruction and Replacement

  • Multidisciplinary Spine Center

  • Bone Integration Limb Replacement Center

  • Comprehensive Rheumatology & Orthopedics Center

  • Scleroderma, Vasculitis, and Myositis Center

Unparalleled Experience


The clinicians and surgeons at HSS provide specialized treatment to over 200,000 patients with orthopedic or rheumatological conditions each year. While HSS primarily treats patients non-surgically, it still performs over 40,000 orthopedic surgeries annually.


Groundbreaking Research and Innovation


The Hospital for Special Surgery Research Institute boasts 20 laboratories and 300 staff dedicated to leading the musculoskeletal health industry through the prevention of degeneration, tissue repair, and tissue regeneration. With its cutting-edge technology, vast patient population, and a unique team of doctors and scientists who work "from the lab to the bedside," HSS can quickly translate scientific breakthroughs into clinical treatments. In 1969, HSS developed the global standard for total knee replacement surgery. In 2016, the HSS Innovation Institute was established to realize the potential of new drugs, treatments, and devices.


Trusted by Professional Teams


As a benchmark in world-class sports medicine, HSS has become the preferred medical institution for numerous professional sports teams, including but not limited to over 100 professional sports teams worldwide and top athletes from major leagues such as Major League Baseball, the National Basketball Association, the National Football League, and the National Hockey League.


Challenges for International Patients


However, access to this level of medical care may seem unattainable for international patients.

  • How do you even make an appointment with a doctor?

  • What about visas?
