Central New York Orthopedics Opens
Dr. M. Asad Khalid, MD
This fall, the Mohawk Valley welcomes a game-changer in sports medicine: Dr. M. Asad Khalid, fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon and team physician for the Utica Comets.
From the Court to the OR
Raised in Houston, Dr. Khalid’s own sports injuries led him to medicine. After training at the University of Texas and completing a prestigious fellowship at the Ochsner Clinic—where he treated athletes from the New Orleans Saints and Pelicans—he’s bringing that expertise home to Central New York.
What He Treats
- Knee: ACL reconstruction, meniscus repair, cartilage restoration, total/partial knee replacement
- Shoulder: Rotator cuff repair, labral repair, dislocation treatment, shoulder replacement
- Hip: Labral repair, impingement surgery, total hip replacement
- Elbow & Ankle: Sports injuries, tendon/ligament repair, Tenex minimally invasive procedures
On the Sidelines & Beyond
When he’s not in surgery, Dr. Khalid is on the sidelines—caring for SUNY Morrisville, SUNY Oneonta, Syracuse FC, and several local high schools.
More Than Just Surgery
Known for tailoring care to each patient, Dr. Khalid prioritizes conservative options first and turns to surgery only when it delivers the best long-term results. His toolkit includes advanced arthroscopy, biologic therapies, and cutting-edge minimally invasive procedures.
“By working together, we can ensure our athletes—and our community—have access to the most comprehensive sports medicine resources in the region.” — Dr. Nicholas Qandah, CNY Brain & Spine
Why it Matters
For Mohawk Valley patients, this expansion means no more long drives for advanced orthopedic care. Whether it’s a teen athlete, a weekend warrior, or someone ready for joint replacement, Dr. Khalid’s mission is the same: restore movement, reduce pain, and keep our community active.
