Andreas H. Gomoll, MD

I am a Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at Weill-Cornell Medical School, and Attending Orthopedic Surgeon at the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) in New York, where I practice together with my wife Dr. Sabrina Strickland. Previously, I practiced at Harvard Medical School/Brigham and Women’s Hospital, where I was Director of the Program for Orthopedic Regenerative Medicine.

I have over 20 years of experience as an Orthopaedic Surgeon and scientist with over 170 publications and 5 books on advanced treatment options for joint injury, such as cartilage transplants and stem cells for cartilage repair and arthritis treatment (Dr. Gomoll's publications).

I specialize in surgery of the shoulder and knee, with a focus on anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, joint preservation and cartilage repair.

I provide care for patients of all ages and abilities, from weekend warriors to athletes, high school to professional sports, as well as police officers, firefighters, the military and special forces. During his career he has consulted for the Boston Ballet, the Chicago White Sox and Chicago Bulls, and he continues to provide treatment for professional athletes with knee injuries.

My story starts in Munich, Germany, where I grew up and attended school. I graduated with a MD from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet Medical School and a PhD from Technische Universitaet, both in Munich. During that time I also underwent additional training at Oxford University, England, and the University of Cape Town, South Africa. After Internship, I moved to Boston for a 2 year research fellowship in the Orthopaedic Research Lab at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School.

Subsequently, I completed a General Surgery Internship at Brigham and Women's Hospital, followed by an Orthopaedic Surgery Residency with the Harvard Combined Orthopaedic Residency Program, working at BWH, Mass General Hospital, Beth Israel Deaconess and Children's Hospital, Boston.

Thereafter, I further specialized in Orthopaedic Sports Medicine at Rush University Hospital, Chicago, before returning to Harvard and the Brigham and Women's Hospital as a Sports Medicine Surgeon. Ultimately, I rose to Associate Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at Harvard Medical School and served as Director of the Orthopaedic Program in the Center for Regenerative Medicine.

In 2018 I was recruited to the Hospital for Special Surgery to expand the program for joint preservation and cartilage repair, where I have become the busiest joint preservation surgeon on the East Coast.

Over the last 20 years, I published 5 books and authored over 170 peer-reviewed articles on sports medicine and cartilage repair related topics, and regularly lectures at national and international conferences. I am a Fellow of the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM), and the International Cartilage Repair Society (ICRS). I have been the chairman of the ICRS Committee on Regulatory Affairs, as well as a board member of the society. I have worked with the FDA on numerous occasions to provide insights on new devices for cartilage repair. I am also a member of the International Society of Arthroscopy, Knee Surgery and Orthopaedic Sports Medicine (ISAKOS), the European Society for Sports Traumatology, Knee Surgery and Arthroscopy (ESSKA), and the Arthroscopy Association of North America (AANA).
