Biography
Dr. Ladd is a fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon with board certification in hand surgery and orthopaedic surgery. She is the Chief of Stanford’s Chase Hand & Upper Limb Center and Chief of the Children’s Hand Clinic at Lucile Salter Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford.
Dr. Ladd is also the Elsbach-Richards Professor of Surgery and Professor, by courtesy, of Medicine (Immunology & Rheumatology) and Surgery (Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery), at Stanford University Medical Center.
As an experienced specialist in hand and upper extremity surgery, Dr. Ladd treats a wide range of conditions, including arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, Dupuytren’s disease, trigger finger, fractures, sports-related injuries, and more.
Research interests of Dr. Ladd include arthritis, musculoskeletal biomechanics, and improving patient outcomes, as well as sex/gender differences in musculoskeletal conditions. She is internationally renowned for her research on base of thumb (carpometacarpal - CMC) joint osteoarthritis, a common and debilitating disease endemic in post-menopausal women. In addition, she has developed instruments for evaluating 3D upper limb kinematics, including the golf swing.
Dr. Ladd has authored or co-authored more than 175 articles throughout the spectrum of hand surgery; biomechanics of elite performance, coordinated motion, and osteoarthritis; and general orthopaedic topics. Her work has appeared in the Journal of Hand Surgery, Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Clinical Orthopaedics & Related Research, Hand, Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, and many more publications. In addition, she holds over 30 patents, patent applications, and trademarks for technological innovations and advances related to hand surgery, arthritis, fractures, the golf swing, and musculoskeletal health.
Among her many honors and awards, Dr. Ladd’s peers named her one of the Best Doctors in America for 2 decades. She has won the Andrew Weiland award, the highest research honor for a hand surgeon, and the Emanuel B. Kaplan Excellence in Anatomy Award, both from the American Society for Surgery of the Hand. She has also won the Nicolas Andry Award for “significant contribution to musculoskeletal research” from the Association of Bone and Joint Surgeons, and the Distinguished Clinician Educator award from the American Orthopaedic Association.
Dr. Ladd is a former board member of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons and Chair of the academy’s Board of Specialties, and is the president-elect of the Association of Bone and Joint Surgeons. As part of an initiative of the US Department of the Interior, she has provided volunteer services to the population of the Navajo Nation in Chinle, AZ. She also has delivered volunteer surgical care for children with hand conditions In Vietnam.

Dr. Ladd is a rock star!! Thank you Dr. Ladd for everything you do for me
I liked Dr. Ladd from our 1st meeting. She's professional, encouraging, and has a positive attitude. She and her staff kept me constantly informed from day one through the March 12, video appointment. I will return in September to discuss my year post surgery and to make plans for my next surgery.
Dr. Ladd was excellent, she listened to my concerns and recommended the appropriate actions.
Dr. Ladd's reputation as an extremely skilled surgeon is well warranted and in her followup care she demonstrates genuine interest and concern about progress in the healing process
All interactions professional, compassionate, and authentic. This is a return trip to Dr. Ladd to treat dupuytren's contracture. I was impressed the first time, thus my return.
doctor did not show up after waiting one hour
So far so good! I find her thorough, direct. Her confidence is reassuring. I notice that she doesn't offer "promises", but possibilities.
There is a huge difference in going to Stanford outside the tri-valley. Stanford in Pleasanton is awful but I found this appointment with Dr. Ladd and her team excellent!

Amy Ladd is a gift that I consider myself blessed to receive. Beyond being a world-class expert in her field, she is personable and friendly while remaining completely professional and offering the highest quality of care available anywhere, which I believe is a rare combination of traits. I feel as though she cares about my love for playing the piano, and she understands how important that is to my overall well-being. To say I am grateful for her in my life is a significant understatement.
I am very impressed with the care I received at Stanford. Everyone was warm and welcoming and competent.

Great doctor. Very professional, pleasant & confident.
Amy Ladd and team are excellent
I have already recommended her and her team!
She is famous, and that is apparently well-earned. I felt very fortunate to have Amy Ladd helping me. Almost unworthy…
Dr. Ladd and her staff are outstanding
Ultimately I needed a diagnosis and treatment plan, and I received those today. I would have benefited from an earlier appointment and less of a hassle factor, but for an accurate diagnosis and treatment, it was still worth it.
Dr. Amy Ladd is the best

Dr. Ladd was calm and gave me the time I needed to understand.
Dr. Ladd is very good.
Dr. Any Ladd is an exceptional surgeon - she has done knuckle replacements on both hands and a joint replacement on my left hand ring finger.
Amazing staff!
I learned alot more than i had from 3 previous care providers elsewhere
They were over an hour behind schedule, we were kept informed about the delay.
Accurately and quickly diagnosed issue and prescribed effective, immediate treatment providing fast relief.
A little condescending.
I like how Dr. Ladd records her notes in front of the patient and asks for confirmation that it sounded right with the patient. Her explanation of my diagnosis and net steps for surgery was the right level of detail.
Doctor - in and out! Maybe 10 MIN.?
Dr. Amy Ladd is great. I couldn't be more pleased with her.
The xray tech was very nice. The nurse practitioner seemed very competent. Dr Ladd was more concerned about my problem that related to her specialty than my more pressing concerns. When I made the appointment, I listed the problems to the person on the phone. That information apparently did not make it to Dr Ladd ahead of me, since the only xrays ordered were for her specialty, not my more pressing concerns.
I postponed surgery and that was okay and supported by the doctors.
Dr. Ladd made eye contact & treated me as an intelligent person with an interesting condition.
excellent service -
I was very impressed with Dr. Ladd and her fellow/intern/guest doctors. They were very kind & clearly experts in their field.
Dr. Ladd was amazing. I'd been to several drs. & this was my second surgery on my hand. All others told me that I had few options. She gave me an option & it worked! Thanks to her excellent surgical skill, practical approach & high standards.
Did not rush, very thorough in explaining my problem and options.
Dr. Ladd is the best!
I especially liked that she dictated her note while I was present.
Incredible group of people - and they're ALL excellent. They finally identified and explained a 20-year progressive problem and worked with me on a plan for what can be done.
would like more care provider time after surgery to understand how it went - details.
Great!
