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.

Dr. Xiao was excellent. He sat down and showed me my X-rays and took time to explain what's going on and what we could do about it.
