Time and again, the Bryn Mawr Hospital Orthopedic Center in the Philadelphia suburbs has been recognized for excellence in orthopedic services. This year, Bryn Mawr Hospital was ranked #1 in the state of Pennsylvania for "Overall Orthopedic Services" according to a study released by HealthGrades®, the nation's leading healthcare quality company.
