An avid surfer, skier, violinist and former competitive basketball player, Dr. Sugarman understands that each individual and athlete is different, and a successful return to sport and function requires consideration not only of the injury but of the entire athlete - the risk factors that predispose them to recurrence, as well as their specific timeline and personal goals.

He then completed a fellowship in orthopaedic sports medicine surgery at the world-renowned Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic and additional advanced training in hip arthroscopy, preservation and reconstruction with Dr. Benjamin Domb, founder of the American Hip Institute. After nearly a decade of serving as clinical and educational faculty at the Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, Dr. Sugarman chose to join the American Hip Institute.

First time seeing Dr Sugarman for a hip consultation. My X-rays were reviewed and Dr Sugarman after reviewing concluded my hip surgery knowing how much pain I was in. He was willing to answer all my questions and date was set that day. I am grateful to be having it soon. I am sure now I am in the right place. Thank you for giving me hope again.
