Why Fairfield County Patients Choose Dr. Kahlenberg at HSS Stamford
If you live in Greenwich, Darien, New Canaan, Westport, Norwalk, or anywhere in Fairfield County and you're researching hip or knee replacement, you may be wondering whether you need to travel to New York City to access truly excellent surgical care. The answer is no. Dr. Cynthia Kahlenberg brings the full expertise of the Hospital for Special Surgery — ranked #1 in orthopedics in the United States — directly to Stamford, Connecticut, just minutes from Greenwich and the surrounding Fairfield County communities.

There is no need to navigate New York City traffic or parking for your consultations or follow-up visits.

What Makes Dr. Kahlenberg the Right Choice for Active Fairfield County Patients
Dr. Kahlenberg's patients are active adults — golfers, tennis players, cyclists, skiers, runners, and busy professionals — who want to return to the activities they love as quickly and safely as possible. She performs over 600 hip and knee replacements each year, making her one of the highest-volume joint replacement surgeons in Connecticut.
Her approach is built around the goals that matter most to her patients:
Faster recovery.
Most patients go home the same day or after a one-night stay. Within six weeks, many return to low-impact activities. Higher-impact pursuits often follow soon after.
Precision technique.
Dr. Kahlenberg uses robotic assistance, computer navigation, and minimally invasive approaches — including anterior hip replacement — to achieve individualized, precise surgical outcomes.
Return to activity.
Dr. Kahlenberg understands that a technically good replacement is not enough if you can't get back to the golf course, the tennis court, or the ski slope. She works with her patients from the very first visit to set realistic, activity-specific goals.
Long-lasting results.
The implants and techniques used today are designed to last a lifetime for most patients. Dr. Kahlenberg's research focus is specifically on optimizing long-term outcomes and patient satisfaction.
