Biography

Ryan Xiao, MD, earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Kansas and his medical degree at Harvard Medical School. He completed a residency in orthopedic surgery at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and a fellowship in hand and upper extremity surgery at Harvard Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. He is a member of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons.

“Growing up, I played tennis and swam. I have had my fair share of orthopedic injuries and understand what it is like to be a patient. One of the reasons I chose to go into medicine was because I wanted to help people and to see it improve their lives.”

Xiao specializes in non-surgical and minimally invasive surgical treatment of the upper extremities, including treatment of arthritic disorders of the hand, wrist, and elbow; repair of fractures and ligaments; nerve reconstructions; and microvascular surgeries.

“What I enjoy most is watching my patients’ recovery and getting back to doing what they love.”

Philosophy Of Care

My philosophy of care is individualized and patient-centered. There are multiple ways to treat an injury or illness and my job is to work with my patient to find the right treatment.

This was a consult on a congenital genetic condition that needed evaluation as part of a strength training program. Dr. Xiao was knowledgeable about the condition and gave very helpful advice on how to accommodate the wrist and hand weakness in a strength training context.
