Dr. Bill is the nom de guerre of William Thomas Stillwell, M.D.,

FACS, FICS, FAAOS, FAANAOS, FAAPGS. He is a licensed, board

certified orthopaedic surgeon, with nearly a quarter century of

clinical experience, and has served as Chairman of the Department

of Orthopaedic Surgery at St. Catherine of Siena Medical Center,

Smithtown, New York until he retired in 2003, Associate Professor

of Clinical Orthopaedic Surgery at the State University of New York

at Stony Brook (1987-2003), Assisitant Professor before that, and

Instructor of Clinical Orthopaedic Surgery at the College of

Physicians & Surgeons of Columbia University (1982-1999).



He is also a member of the Arthroscopy Association of North

America, the Association for Hip & Knee Surgery, and numerous

professional and scientific societies, including his Fellowships in

The American College of Surgery, The International College of

Surgery, The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgery, The American

Academy for Neurological and Orthopaedic Surgery, and the American

Academy for Postgraduate Surgery.



Dr. Bill was born in Brooklyn, New York and is a product of the New

York City educational system, with higher education through New

York Medical College, where he earned his Doctorate in Medicine in

1973. At this time, he also worked as a professional medical

illustrator and comic artist



His Internship and General Surgery Residency were at the Medical

College of Virginia in Richmond, Vurginia and his Residency in

Orthopaedics was at St. Luke?s Hospital, back in New York.

Subsequently, he completed his advanced training in Adult

Reconstruction as an Otto E. Aufranc Fellow in Constructive Surgery

at the prestigious New England Baptist Hospital in Boston, and

Tufts University, where he was a Visiting Fellow.



Thereafter, he began the private practice of orthopaedic surgery in

Commack and Smithtown, New York, on Long Island, in the summer of

1979. Five years later, he had a specialized practice in surgery of

the hip & knee and was appointed Chief of Orthopaedics. During this

period, he was also Director of the Fracture Clinic, at St.

Luke?s-Roosevelt Hospital Center in NYC. He introduced many

advanced techniques in joint reconstruction to the hospital,

including his pioneering work on standardized protocols, which

eventually became known as clinical pathways, decades ahead of the

rest of the field.



He has written (and often illustrated) a number of scientific and

academic articles, which have been published in peer reviewed

medical journals, and two major orthopaedic textbooks on advanced

joint reconstruction: The Art of Total Hip Arthroplasty (Grune &

Stratton, 1987), and Arthroplasty: An Atlas of Surgical Technique

(with coauthor W. Norman Scott, M.D., Aspen Publications, 1987). He

illustrated the latter two books, as well.



During his tenure as Chairman, Dr. Stillwell developed his

Department with one of the strongest rosters of surgical excellence

on Long Island and the region. His hospital became a widely

respected regional center of excellence for major joint replacement

and revision, arthroscopic surgery, and advanced spinal procedures.

He himself was publicly acknowledged as a regional expert in his

field, The Hip & Knee Specialist, with a regional, national and

international referral base. He was also invited, twice, to lecture

at the prestigious British Hip Course in Oswestry, Wales, in the

U.K., on advanced revision surgery techniques.



At the peak of his career, Dr. Bill sustained a fractured spine in

a fall, and after attempting to continue his work for over a year,

despite progressive pain, believing he was putting patients at

risk, he voluntarily resigned from his position and retired from

his practice. He now commutes seasonally between his main residence

in Central Florida and the ?Northern Command,? in Southampton, New

York. He lives with his wife of over 35 years and a whole lot of

cats.
