More about Dr. Michael Bronson, MD, FACS

Dr. Michael Bronson is the Chairman of Orthopaedics at Mount Sinai West and Mount Sinai St. Luke's. He came to Mount Sinai in 2004 as an Associate Professor of Orthopedic Surgery, and Director of the Joint Replacement Service. He received his M.D. from New York Medical College, and completed his surgical internship and orthopedic residency at Lenox Hill Hospital and Boston Children's Hospital. He was the Senior Annie C. Kane Fellow in hip and knee surgery at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center under the training of Dr. Frank Stinchfield and Dr. Nas Eftekhar. He then joined the faculty at Lenox Hill Hospital where he remained for 23 years before coming to Mount Sinai. His practice centers on problems of the hip and knee in all age groups from athletic injuries in younger patients and degenerative arthritic disease and joint replacement in the older population. Dr. Bronson has developed the Vision Total Hip, a widely recognized and used total hip replacement system which has been in use extensively for the past 10 years which avoids the use of cement in all age groups, substantially prolonging the lifespan of the replacement, even in young, active and athletic patients. In addition, he has done extensive work in developing new surgical instruments for minimally invasive unicondylar partial knee replacement which has revolutionized the treatment of knee arthritis in the 30 percent to 40 percent of patients whose knee arthritis involves only a part of their knee. Most recently, he has brought the cutting edge technology of Anterior Total Hip Replacement to Mt Sinai, the only total hip surgery involving no cutting of muscles which dramatically decreases post surgical pain, blood loss, and recovery time.

Dr. Bronson and his staff were friendly, knowledgeable , patient and listened to what my concerns were. I was comfortable and felt confident that they can help me with my condition.
Verified patient
I went to Dr Bronson for a 2nd opinion and he was knowledgeable of my situation and very confident with his opinion. I'll follow up with my surgeon.
Verified patient
I would have appreciated advice for immediate alleviation of the knee pain for which I went to see the doctor. I understand his need for an MRI to make a more definitive diagnosis, but he never answered my question about what to tell a PT. On the lengthy form I I filled out before being shown into the doctor's examining room, I listed the existence of a Planter's faciitis in one foot. If that is outside the doctor's realm, I think he might have said so.
Verified patient
Entire staff is professional and courteous.
Dr. Bronson is very professional. He is warm, patient, informative and a great listener. Appointments with him are always on time. Xrays are done on premises and at the time you arrive. He reviews with his findings, explains your best options and provides you with information on all the temporary fixes. He then leaves it up to you, to make that final decision. You don't feel coerced. Staff is caring, friendly and very informative as well. I've seen other orthopedics in NYC. He's the best!!!
Verified patient
Helpful, great diagnostic and remediation. Pinpointed problem and offered solution in kind. Office was crowded - if using ZocDoc to make appointment, don’t assume that the office has anything more than your contact info. I had to fill out 10 forms when I got there.
Verified patient
Michael Bronson and his staff are always professional and sweet. Appointments in his office run on time and he will answer any question you may have.
Verified patient
My visit was fine. I needed an MRI which could not be accommodated by their radiology dept. until next week which was a disappointment since I’m in a good amount of pain.
Thorough, discussed options, advised me to take a conservative approach in developing a treatment plan for knees that will need to be replaced eventually.
Verified patient
Excellent office with comfortable seating a nice efficient people. Doctor was quick to see me and explain in a clear manner my medical problems.
