Summary
- Dr. Taormina completed his residency in Orthopedic Surgery at the NYU Langone Orthopedic Hospital in Manhattan, NY (formerly "NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases") and supplemented his training by completing fellowship at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine/Jackson Memorial Hospital in the area of hand and reconstructive upper extremity surgery.
Dr. Taormina provides orthopedic treatment of the upper and lower extremity including conservative and surgical treatment options.
