Patient Reviews
Sep 13, 2023
We needed to see a pediatric orthopedic surgeon ASAP for my 7 year old broken elbow. Everyone told us goto HSS. I called and they called me back in 50 minutes with appointment setup. We arrived at HSS and everthing worked like clockwork!Dr. Scher took the time to explain everything to us and to my son. VERY IMPORTANT he took the time to answer my sons repeated questions without hesitation. You see my son was nervous and kept asking the same questions over and over again. Dr. Scher was attentive and super reassuring putting my son at ease.Dr. Scher explained exactly what they were going to do step by step and his assistant told me that things would move fast (I expected to spend the whole day). In total we saw the doctor twice, took x-rays and had casting in a total of less than 1.5 hours. Amazing!
