Care Philosophy
When we meet I’ll try to understand the cause of your pain and your limitations during daily life, work, and recreational pursuits. Together, we will devise a treatment plan to try to get you back to your activities. Most conditions can be treated without surgery. For some conditions, surgery may be required. I’ll recommend a surgical plan using minimally invasive evidence based techniques to get the best results. Myself and my team are committed to your success.
I enjoy educating and mentoring future orthopedic surgeons as chief of sports medicine and as associate clinical professor for University of Arizona College of Medicine Phoenix Orthopedic Residency Program.

From my first appointment with Dr. Lederman I was impressed with his expertise and calm, professional approach. Dr. Lederman's outstanding skill as well as the surgical team's skills made my shoulder replacement surgery experience stress free, and my recovery was nearly painless. Over the past decades I've had several rotator cuff repairs that I could not say the same for. Dr. Lederman is easy to talk with and explains everything clearly so you know what to expect and what your options are. I recommend Dr. Lederman without reservation.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/21/2025
Dr Lederman comes highly recommended. He's intelligent, articulate and has a sense of humor. More importantly, he wants to avoid operating on me unless it's absolutely necessary, supporting alternate treatment methods, which for a surgeon, says a lot about his ethics.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/21/2025
I've had surgeries by noted surgeons throughout the West Coast, and Dr. Lederman is the best. I would not use anyone else for me or my family

I've heard so many negatives about shoulder replacements from mild dissatisfaction to horror stories. Four years ago, when I started this journey, I saw four different surgeons, and I chose Dr. Lederman. Right from the start, he seemed to be the most competent. Now, following my first replacement, I have had such a great result that compared to others (from other surgeons) I meet at therapy I am way ahead of their progress. Dr. Lederman truly is the best in his field. HE's doing my next one October, and I wouldn't trust anyone else.
