STATEN ISLAND, NY — Staten Island University Hospital has appointed Dr. Yevgeniy A. Korshunov as director of orthopedics, bringing more than a decade of expertise in advanced surgical reconstruction to lead the hospital’s joint replacement programs.
Korshunov, a fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon specializing in adult hip and knee reconstruction, will oversee the hospital’s orthopedic service line, Total Joint Reconstruction Program and ambulatory surgery center.
His responsibilities include guiding clinical operations, leading a multidisciplinary care team and advancing surgical innovation while ensuring optimal patient outcomes.
“Dr. Korshunov is an accomplished surgeon, educator and researcher, whose expertise and leadership are invaluable to our hospital,” said Dr. Brahim Ardolic, president of Northwell’s Metro Market, which covers Staten Island, Manhattan, Brooklyn, and parts of Queens. “His appointment reflects our continued commitment to building one of the region’s premier destinations for advanced orthopedic care.”
Before joining Staten Island University Hospital, Korshunov served as an orthopedic surgeon at New York Orthopedics, where he specialized in complex joint replacement and revision surgery.
He has experience integrating cutting-edge technologies and AI-driven systems for robotic-assisted procedures and emphasizes comprehensive patient education through digital platforms.
Korshunov earned his medical degree with distinction in research from SUNY Downstate Medical Center, where he also completed his orthopedic surgery residency. He pursued a fellowship in adult reconstruction at Northwell’s Lenox Hill Hospital under Dr. Jose Rodriguez. He graduated magna cum laude from the University of Nevada with a bachelor’s degree in biology and is fluent in Russian.
The surgeon has published extensively in peer-reviewed medical journals, focusing on joint instability, surgical complications, periprosthetic infection and health policy in joint replacement. His research has been presented at major national conferences, including the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons annual meetings.
