So I had a very simple slip that caused a very major broken leg the day before I was flying out for…read morevacation. Well it's just been that kind of year. I was admitted to ECMC and my surgeon was Dr Mutty. It was a Saturday and I wasn't going to have it repaired till Monday. Monday came quickly and I was taken for repairs after meeting with Dr Mutty again. He explained that there would be two plates needed one on each side of the leg and all that went with that signed my leg and I would see him on the other side. The surgery went well and indeed he came to check on me and explained everything that had transpired and I had post op appointments to see him in about 3 weeks back at ECMC. Every detail of my care and needs was set up before I was released. About four weeks later I saw him again and had the hard cast removed and and the staples and stitches removed. And tape put across the surgical sites. Then I was fitted with a boot and given instructions about not putting any weight on it and another follow up appointment. I had home physical therapy as well. By my appointment in November I was free of the boot and had crutches and compression socks. Each and every appointment the staff at Dr Mutty's office were absolutely wonderful. They were friendly and helpful. In his office and in X-ray. Dr Mutty was comforting when I thought I would never be able to walk normally again and reassured me that I was on track in my healing and he was absolutely correct. Now I'm almost embarrassed to say that I've been through this before on my other leg about 9 years ago. It wasn't as bad a break but I felt very comfortable using UB Orthopaedics again because I knew they did good work. They have their own Physical Therapy departments. One is in ECMC and one is on Harlem rd in the high office building across the road from Chucky Cheese. I would highly recommend them if you break a bone and the ambulance driver asks you which hospital you want to go to. ECMC and UB Orthopaedics surgeons.

The MD's I've seen are very professional & extraordinarily competent. Nothing but high praise for…read morethose folks I have knee issues from past injuries and was a candidate for total knee replacement (TKR). I went to UBMD Orthopedics Physical Therapy at the Maplemere location to see if I could strengthen the knee to prep for or possibly delay TKR surgery. The UBMD PT department is where I faced issues. At that time, it was difficult to walk stairs or even 50 yards. The young PT I was assigned plugged me into a "one size fits all" rehab program. It did not help that my PhD therapist was impersonal, distracted & inattentive, and his subordinates did most of my therapy that he designed. The exercise program I was given made my pain much worse, decreased my mobility and was generally detrimental even after 6 months of dedicated effort on my part. I was getting discouraged. My knee got so painful from the assigned UBMD PT, I developed fluid in the knee joint and required multiple cortisone shots. Out of necessity, I ditched about 2/3 of the exercises I was given and all of the weighted exercises from UBMD PT and pivoted to body weight squats, knee stretching, yoga, walking & banded leg work. I borrowed from my boxing and martial arts experience from many decades ago emphasizing rotational knee movements, feints, front to back and side to side stepping. My knee slowly responded to my own custom designed PT treatment, and today I can walk stairs without issue, walk a mile, have minimal to no knee pain, no fluid on the knee and have not required any cortisone shots since early in 2025 which was from the UBMD PT exercises. I also don't require TKR at this time. Another UBMD PT issue is their glacial response time to calls for appointments - 2 weeks plus in my experience. The final issue at the new UBMD ortho office on Maplemere is the parking lot design - it's a miserable set up. The long, wide grassy "berms" installed in the parking lot present a dangerous maze to ortho patients who can have issues just navigating flat pavement. UBMD ortho should add flat "walk throughs" in those berms.

Back in February of this year I herniated a disc in my lower back while working out at the gym,…read morevery quickly after that I was left in pretty severe discomfort from Sciatic nerve pain on the right side of my body. After seeing Chiropractors ( which did help, briefly ) and then various doctors I was referred to Sports PT of Tonawanda. Bill Cheehan was my Therapist from the beginning and always treated me with dignity and respect, always genuinely was concerned for my health and well being and was very accessible by Phone / Email etc with questions, appointment scheduling etc. I was getting close to having a medical procedure but stuck with the course of therapy and exercise Bill recommended for me and as of Today i'm 98% pain free ( i'll put the other 2% down to age and being out of shape ) No Surgery, no fancy gimmicks, just hard work and guidance of an awesome team at Sports PT of Tonawanda. Highly recommended and Bill Cheehan is the man !!

Although I found that the care I received here to be acceptable, their billing is predatory and…read moreunderhanded. They increased their charges from $47.21 in September, to $74.50 in the beginning of November, to $81.61 in the middle of November without notifying me that this was happening. In addition, they charged the same co-pay each time I went so I was accumulating a balance for the entire time I was going, only to get billed in January. For me this isn't a problem but I imagine it might be for others, so make sure you question them on what they are actually charging before agreeing to go here. I will not return here if physical therapy becomes a necessity in the future.
