Drs. David and Joshua Dines Move Great Neck Orthopedic Surgery Practice to Hospital for Special Surgery's Uniondale Office

Father and son orthopedic surgeons David and Joshua Dines have moved their Great Neck practice to the Hospital for Special Surgery’s Long Island Physician Office in Uniondale. The doctors are now seeing patients at the hospital’s newly renovated and expanded office in the upscale Omni Building on Hempstead Turnpike.

They both serve on the Sports Medicine and Shoulder Service at the highly-rated hospital, located on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, where their patients go for surgery, if needed. Well-known on Long Island and in New York City in the field of sports medicine, both physicians have served as team doctors for several professional sports teams. Most of their practice, however, is dedicated to treating active people, every day athletes and average people whose injuries affect their quality of life.

I'm delighted to part of the excellent group of 18 doctors in the Uniondale office,” Dr. David Dines said. “It’s a convenient, centralized location for Long Island residents who want the high-quality care provided by doctors affiliated with Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan, without making the trip into the city.”

Dr. David Dines is a highly respected and accomplished orthopedic surgeon, specializing in sports medicine and shoulder surgery. Former chairman of the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, he is considered a pioneer in shoulder replacement surgery for severe arthritis. 

He currently serves as medical director of the ATP Men’s Tennis Tour and has also served as a team physician for the U.S. Davis Cup tennis team. Previously, he served as associate team physician for the New York Mets and is currently head team physician for the Long Island Ducks minor league baseball team.

He is clinical professor of Orthopedic Surgery at Weill Cornell Medical College and past president of the American Shoulder and Elbow Society. 

Dr. Joshua Dines has also made a name for himself in the area of sports medicine. In addition to his regular patients, he is assistant team physician for the New York Mets. Additionally, he is a team orthopedist for the Long Island Ducks baseball team. He has also served as a team doctor for the U.S. Davis Cup tennis team and continues to provide care for U.S. tennis professionals.  

Based on his expertise and dedication to the field of shoulder and elbow surgery, he became one of the youngest members of the prestigious American Shoulder and Elbow Society. Last year, he edited two sports medicine textbooks. He is assistant professor of Orthopedic Surgery at Weill Cornell Medical College.

Both Drs. David and Joshua Dines are very active in research to advance the field of sports medicine, particularly with respect to shoulder and elbow injuries. They have co-authored numerous book chapters, have presented their research both nationally and internationally, and have published countless papers in peer-reviewed medical journals.
