NewYork-Presbyterian/Lawrence names orthopedics director

NewYork-Presbyterian/Lawrence Hospital in Bronxville appointed Dr. William Macaulay as director of orthopedic surgery and sports medicine.

Macaulay, of Bronxville, will oversee care at the Joint Replacement Center at NewYork-Presbyterian/Lawrence, as well as other orthopedic surgery programs. According to a statement released by the hospital, he leads an expansion of orthopedics programs that began recently with the recruitment of several surgeons in various orthopedic subspecialties.

The NewYork-Presbyterian Healthcare System, based in New York City, acquired Bronxville’s Lawrence Hospital last year.

Macaulay will perform surgery at NewYork-Presbyterian/Lawrence Hospital and NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center. He will see patients in Bronxville, Tarrytown and Manhattan.

“He is a recognized leader in hip and knee replacement and has been a valued member of our department for many years,” said Dr. William Levine, orthopedic surgeon-in-chief of NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center, in a statement.

Macaulay is the director of the Center for Hip & Knee Replacement and co-chief of the division of hip and knee reconstruction at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center. At Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, he is a professor of clinical orthopedic surgery and director of the clinical hip and knee fellowship.

“Our goal will be to enhance the already amazing care provided by NewYork-Presbyterian/Lawrence orthopedic surgeons by blending world-class surgeons and state-of the-art technology with the community feel of this Bronxville treasure,” Macaulay said. “We want residents to have the best of both worlds close to their homes.”
