About Dr. Ghirardelli
Fellowship-trained across New York, Toronto and Stanford.
I trained in Italy, the United States and Canada, completing clinical fellowships at internationally recognized orthopedic centers, including the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, ranked first in the U.S. and worldwide for orthopedics. These are highly selective programs, open only to licensed physicians who meet rigorous credentials and training requirements, and involve direct patient care and progressive surgical responsibility. My practice focuses on hip and knee replacement and sports surgery, with a personalized approach aimed at functional recovery and a return to daily and athletic activities. I am ECFMG-certified, a member of leading international societies in orthopedics, hip and knee surgery, and sports medicine, and I hold medical licenses in Italy, the United States, Canada and Switzerland.
