Patient Reviews
Sep 21, 2017
Replaced both of my wife's knees one at a time due to her weight. Found him to be personable, concerned, punctual and most of all, knew what he was doing. Took excellent care of managing my wife's pain after each surgery. Authorized her to go to physical therapy (Twin Boro is right down the street and they did an excellent job). All in all, an excellent Dr who took very good care of my wife.
