Shoulder & Elbow Specialist on Long Island
Specialized shoulder and elbow care for Nassau County — the North Shore, central Nassau and western Nassau — from an NYU Langone surgeon who treats only the shoulder and elbow.
Dr. Tej Joshi is a fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon whose practice is limited to the shoulder and elbow. He sees Long Island patients every Wednesday at NYU Langone Orthopedic Associates on Marcus Avenue in Lake Success, just off the Long Island Expressway and minutes from the Cross Island and Northern State Parkways.
Patients come from across Nassau County: North Shore communities such as Port Washington, Sands Point, Manhasset, Great Neck, Roslyn, Glen Cove, Sea Cliff and Oyster Bay; central Nassau towns including Syosset, Jericho, Woodbury, Westbury and Hicksville; and western Nassau neighborhoods from New Hyde Park and Mineola to Garden City and Floral Park.
Care covers the full range of shoulder and elbow problems, from a first visit for shoulder pain to rotator cuff repair, shoulder arthritis care, anatomic and reverse shoulder replacement, and surgery for shoulder instability and dislocations. Many conditions improve without surgery, and every plan starts with a careful exam and imaging review.
