ROME, N.Y. — Those in need of hip and knee joint care in the Mohawk Valley might not have to travel as far to find a doctor thanks to a new collaboration between Rome Health and Syracuse Orthopedic Specialists (SOS).
Rome Health recently announced a team of four SOS joint-replacement surgeons will work with the Rome Health orthopedic team at Rome Health Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, located in Chestnut Commons at 107 East. Chestnut St.
SOS orthopedic surgeons Stephen P. Bogosian, Max R. Greenky, Kevin A. Kopko, and Anthony M. Orio will provide in-office visits, consultations, and surgical services at Rome Health for the convenience of patients. Surgical patients will meet with Rome
Health’s therapy team prior to surgery to create a rehabilitation plan and schedule their first post-operative appointment.
“What we hear from the community is that they want to receive their care locally,” says Ryan Thompson, chief operating officer at Rome Health. Not every patient has the means or ability to travel out of the area to receive the care they need, he notes, so Rome Health figured out a way to bring that care to them.
As a community hospital, Rome Health’s mission is to provide the best care it can to the community it serves, he adds.
“Partnerships really do provide that access,” Thompson says. Rome Health decided to
partner with SOS because the two organizations have similar philosophies of care, he says. SOS focuses on evidenced-based protocols and pathways to better manage pain, minimize the risk of complications, and provide the best outcome for patients.
“We are pleased to welcome SOS here at Rome Health,” President/CEO AnnMarie W. Czyz said in a statement. “Since opening its doors in 1999, Syracuse Orthopedic Specialists has been a leading name in providing comprehensive orthopedic care.”

York, and Massachusetts, including an adult reconstructive surgery fellowship at New England Baptist Hospital.
Greenky completed a fellowship in adult reconstruction surgery at the Duke University Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and completed his residency and internship at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, where he was named academic chief resident in 2019. He received his medical degree from the Sydney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University and his bachelor’s degree from the University of Pennsylvania.
Kopko earned his medical degree from Penn State College of Medicine and completed an orthopedic residency at Stony Brook University Hospital. He completed a fellowship in joint replacement surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital, part of the Harvard combined orthopedic surgery program in Boston.
