Mount Zion

Mount Zion Hospital proudly serves as the Orthopedic Surgery hub for UCSF Health, continually expanding and excelling in this area. In addition to our orthopedic services, we perform a wide range of other procedures in specialties such as Ophthalmology, Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery (OHNS), Gynecology, and Pain Management. 

We've recently expanded our anesthesia services at Mount Zion, now covering outpatient MRIs one day a week, an additional endoscopy room most days of the week, and with the Langley Porter Psychiatry Hospital moving to Mount Zion, we’ve added Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) procedures three days a week. 

Mount Zion's commitment to patient safety and quality of care has been recognized with The Leapfrog Group’s 2023 Top Hospital award, a prestigious national distinction achieved by only 6% of hospitals.

Despite a significant increase in case volume last year, we consistently meet or exceed UCSF efficiency metrics, particularly in our first case on time starts (FCOTS). Additionally, we've initiated a new program aimed at improving Turn Over Times (TOTs), further enhancing the efficiency of our services and the overall patient experience. 

Dr. Ben Ma, surgical triad lead at Mount Zion, became chair of the Department of Orthopedic Surgery and a search is beginning for his replacement.
