About Me
Dr. Jason Tam has practiced Orthopedics since 2017. After graduating from NY Medical College with his medical degree and the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery Award, Dr. Tam completed his residency in Orthopedic Surgery at Westchester Medical Center, where he acted as Chief Resident during his final year. He went on to a fellowship in Orthopedic Sports Medicine with San Diego Arthroscopy and Sports Medicine. As a double-board certified physician in Orthopedic Surgery and Orthopedic Sports Medicine, Dr. Tam's clinical interests include arthritic and traumatic disorders of the upper and lower extremities, arthroscopic surgery focusing on complex knee and shoulder pathologies, nonoperative treatment, rotator cuff injuries, and shoulder instability.

Currently, in addition to his clinical work, Dr. Tam serves as an Associate Instructor for the Arthroscopy Association of North America, where he instructs and teaches arthroscopic and surgical skills to residents and fellows. He is also an active member of numerous professional societies, including the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.

Patient Experience Star Ratings and Comments
The Patient Experience Star Rating reflects our patients’ perception of how well their Mount Sinai provider communicated with them during an office visit.

Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score.

Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.
