Dr. Barzideh is an esteemed orthopaedic surgeon who joined the distinguished cadre of surgeons at Winthrop Orthopaedic Associates in Long Island, New York in 2007. His personal philosophy in the management of some of the more urgent and disabling orthopaedic conditions is that of technologically advanced surgical and non-surgical care while approaching the patient and their families with the compassion and kindness that is often easily overlooked.

With a reputation for extraordinarily high standards of excellence, the physicians of Winthrop Orthopaedics Associates are committed to providing the best orthopaedic care to Long Island and the surrounding areas. They have extensive training in all orthopaedic areas, including sports medicine, hand and upper extremity, joint replacement, spine injuries, and arthritis.

Helping patients stay steady on their feet, Dr. Barzideh has a diverse set of interests in the practice of general orthopaedics, complex total joint replacements, and revisions, arthroscopic procedures and treatment of post-traumatic conditions.

In addition to being a part of the team at Winthrop Orthopaedic Associates, he has been serving as the Chief of the Division of Orthopaedic Trauma, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at NYU Winthrop Hospital in Mineola, New York since 2003. 

“Through frequent postoperative follow-up and advanced orthopedic techniques, I strive to provide every patient with personalized and prompt care. I believe in the right care at the right time and for the right reasons. No two patients are identical. My team and I at NYU Winthrop Hospital personalize every patient’s care and make certain that all patients’ questions and concerns are answered” as stated by the doctor. 

With an interest in the intricacies of complex systems, Dr. Barzideh earned his medical degree from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in 1998. He then went on to serve his residency in orthopaedic surgery at the same educational venue before embarking on his professional journey. 

A Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (FAAOS), he is board-certified in orthopaedic surgery by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS).
