Elise C. Bixby, MD

About Me

As a dual fellowship-trained surgeon specializing in pediatric and adult sports medicine at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to helping patients of all ages return to their active lifestyles.

Whether I’m treating young children who already specialize in one sport, multi-sport teenage athletes, weekend warriors, or those gracefully aging through continued exercise, my goal is to ensure that each patient can return to what they love, want and need to do.

My experience as a team doctor for professional sports teams, such as the Carolina Panthers, Charlotte Football Club, and Charlotte Knights, as well as high school football teams and organizations like the Skating Club of Boston and the Boston Ballet, has equipped me with the expertise to manage a wide range of sports-related injuries.

I specialize in treating conditions of the shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, and ankle, as well as fractures in children and adolescents. My surgical options often include minimally invasive or arthroscopic procedures, but I also perform larger open realignments and reconstruction surgery when necessary. Additionally, I offer conservative treatments such as thoughtful activity modification, physical therapy, medications, or injections.

I am committed to providing personalized care that considers each patient’s unique needs and goals. I value understanding my patients’ perspectives. By getting to know how an injury impacts their physical and emotional wellbeing, the specific activities they aim to return to, and any significant upcoming life events, I can create tailored treatment plans.

Having had surgery for a sports injury myself, I understand the importance of clear communication. I ensure that every patient leaves my office or the operating room with a clear understanding of their diagnosis, treatment plan, and what to expect in the long run.

In addition to patient care, I engage in research at NYU Langone Orthopedics and collaborate with colleagues nationwide. My research interests include growth-sparing surgeries in children, realignment for patellofemoral maltracking, and complex cartilage restoration. The outcomes of my research drive my clinical decision-making to provide the best possible care for my patients.
