As we continue shining the spotlight on some of our expert physicians at Shore in honor of National Doctors’ Day (March 30), we are proud to celebrate Orthopaedic Surgeon Stephen J. Zabinski, MD!
At Shore, Dr. Zabinski not only provides cutting-edge orthopedic surgical care to our patients but also serves as the Director of Shore’s Division of Orthopedic Surgery, the Medical Director of Joint Replacement Surgery, and the Assistant Chairman of the Department of Surgery. His visionary leadership has shaped our orthopedic surgery department throughout his 20+ years at Shore.
Dr. Leonard Galler, Shore Clinical and Administrative Surgical Department Chairman, says that Dr. Zabinski and his surgical group, Shore Orthopaedic University Associates, are a premier surgical provider in our community and offer 24/7 orthopedic surgery call coverage for Shore Medical Center’s ER.
“Dr. Zabinski exemplifies excellence in his role as Director of the Division of Orthopedic Surgery at Shore,” said Dr. Galler. “He sets stringent quality metrics, elevates expertise within his department, ensures the efficiency of operations, and maintains the highest standards of care. He not only performs admirably as a surgeon specializing in knees, hips, and shoulders but also serves as a mentor to younger colleagues, guiding them through the challenges of early practice.”
Dr. Galler continued, “Dr. Zabinski is one of the hardest-working people I know. It’s common for him to start seeing patients as early as 4:30 a.m. He puts his heart and soul into his patients’ safety and guides them through the entire process of their surgical care. As a colleague, if I call him to see someone, he will see that person immediately. He’s not only a very skillful surgeon, he’s also a very generous man who has given his time and money to charities.”
Dr. Zabinski is a New York City native who attended medical school at Columbia University’s College of Physicians and Surgeons and completed his surgical residency and training at Cornell University’s Hospital for Special Surgery.
Join us in thanking Dr. Zabinski for his physician expertise and tireless commitment to providing exceptional orthopedic surgical care!
