Alec Macaulay, MD
About
Dr. Macaulay grew up in Oneonta, NY and attended Cornell University as an undergraduate. He graduated magna cum laude and captained the Varsity Sprint Football team. He attended medical school at Columbia University and then did his five-year Orthopedic Surgical training at the Harvard Orthopaedic Residency program. (In fact, he believes his Cornell football years helped him get his foot in the door at Harvard – as recently highlighted in an article here.) At Harvard he had the opportunity to work at some of the world’s leading academic medical centers and covered four level-one trauma centers. He then spent an extra year at Harvard to gain further training in complex surgery of the ankle and foot. He has published more than fifteen articles and two book chapters on various orthopedic topics. His clinical interests include both the surgical and non-surgical treatment of athletic injuries, arthritic conditions and musculoskeletal trauma. Dr. Macaulay, who joined Cayuga Orthopedics in 2017, specializes in surgery of the knee, ankle and foot.

what our patients are saying
“The staff and accommodations at Cayuga Birthplace are amazing!!! This is what it I imagine it would feel like to be a celebrity getting VIP treatment. I wish I could stay longer – even the food options are 5 Star! The amenities are great. Everything is clean and designed beautifully. Not a single complaint, only praises!”
“I have to say the last couple visits that I’ve had here have been wonderful. About a month ago I had an EGD and the staff were amazing! Explained everything in detail and made me feel at ease. I was very nervous and the nurse I had was very comforting. Tonight we had to take my son to the emergency room and they were awesome with him! We got right in. “
“I have been a Hemo dialysis patient for almost Five years. Prior to dialysis and during dialysis I have had several trips to the ER, due to other health issues & was admitted to CMC more than a few times. Each and every time I’ve been there, whether in patient or out, I have been treated with respect, professionalism, and efficiency. I give this hospital 2 thumbs up!! Thank you CMC for taking care of me all these years!!”
“I have had many occasions visiting CMC for myself and family. We have never had a bad experience there at all. Last October I had surgery and the nurses were amazing especially my night nurse. Thank you to all CMC staff for doing what you do every day with a smile.”
