I've been seeing Dr. Reznik for the past 6 or 7 years. I have bad knees from years of aggressive…read moresports and advancing years. He has repaired a torn MCL once and torn menisci three times. After each operation, I went through physical therapy -- not the PT affiliated with the practice, but one closer to my home -- and I recovered to the point where I resumed playing racquetball and walking 10 - 12 miles each week within the time frame he had projected. Three years ago, I ruptured the Achilles tendon in my right leg. Dr. Reznik repaired that, too, and after PT, I again resumed my crazy schedule with competitive racquetball and fitness walking. I'm playing in a regional USA Racquetball tournament in MA this weekend, and when I walk, I use hand weights within tight time frames so I really press my knees. I've found that each time I've seen Dr. Reznik, he's taken the time to listen to what happened, how I feel, and the impact the injury has had on my activities. He also shares all the images with me and explains what he's seeing and why he's suggesting one course of treatment over another. Frankly, I was impressed one time that he suggested I NOT have surgery to see how the torn meniscus would feel after use and try to manage it with exercise and PT. It worked for some months, but I did eventually have surgery after I injured it again. I've found that he accurately described the recovery as well as the level of functionality and even discomfort I'd feel after various procedures. To sum it up, I'd highly recommend anyone with knee pain or lower leg injuries to seek out Dr. Reznik.

I had an in person appointment. They were flexible when I called to say I'd be a bit late.

He did not rush through the visit and was so easy to talk to. Very frank. My daughter had a complicated surgery with him last year and it has been a huge success.

I have had numerous orthopedic surgeries over the past 10 years and was told my an MD at Brigham…read moreand Women's in Boston that I had severe degenerative scoliosis affecting my entire spine but especially in my lower back and that surgery was not an option. Over my years of recoveries I had gained about 40+ lbs due to inactivity. physical therapy and acupuncture were somewhat helpful but limited. I also have fibromyalgia which makes PT and recovery time very slow. Of course insurance eventually limits PT visits. After a few years of doing what I could on my own and losing about 15 lbs, my pain and mobility deteriorated. I finally decided with my PCP to give it another go around with a new MD specializing in the back and spine. He might reevaluate and offer PT or maybe an injection to relieve the pain. The staff were very pleasant and caring, accommodating my physical needs without my even asking for assistance. They X-rayed my lower back. I questioned the need for my entire spine and they said that was all Dr Beiner ordered at least for the time being. In preparation for the dr they asked me to roll up my pants and set out the hammer thing to test my reflexes. Dr Beiner came in and asked me to tell him what was going on. I briefly explained my Dx of degenerative scoliosis from my MD in Boston who told me surgery was not an option in my case since it involved my entire spine., and the pain that has been getting more severe and limiting my mobility. He said he didn't know anything about fibromyalgia because they never taught it when he was in school. I also noted that I recognized weight loss and exercise would probably help somewhat . He checked the strength in my foot, then moved his chair away, leaned back with his hands behind his head and asked what I wanted him to do. I was taken aback and said I don't know that's why I came to him. I said, I don't know, physical therapy or something. He asked if I had physical therapy in the past and I said lots over the years. He said then I knew how to do it. He said I should see a pain management MD. I said I thought my meds had been managed well and he said they might be able to offer other medication or injections. I told him I thought he might be able to give me an injection and he said he didn't to that. He left the room and his assistant came in with a list of pain management MDs who were all in long distances in New Haven and Fairfield county and a prescription for PT three times a week for 3-4 weeks. I was so shocked by his behavior and expressed it to the staff member who helped me out. Once in my car, I sat for a few moments while the tears welled up and wondered what had just happened. On the drive home I thought "He just totally dismissed me, but why?". My weight, my complicated case and history ( including fibromyalgia, diabetes, depression) or my age or did he think I wanted narcotics which I do not want? I left the appointment feeling: a total waste of time and effort and money, though covered by insurance. More than that, I fell into a state of depression in pursuing other help or accepting my circumstances that might not ever change or get better. I've been fighting the depression with lots of distraction, I couldn't concentrate on reading or news or keeping up with my profession ( retired pharmacist). I talked with my husband and best friend and they were appalled. I still cannot talk or write about it without the tears. I will pursue physical therapy in a couple of weeks when I have my COVID vaccine and have a follow up with my PCP. I don't know where I will go from there. Risking another back doctor that will possibly intensify my feeling of hopelessness? I have also worked with a therapist who gave me lots of tools which I use, including meditation ( as in breathing and relaxation). Thank goodness for my wonderful PCP who will help me with next steps.

This was my personal experience;…read more Even if you have been a previous patient within Yale Medical for years but are a new patient with the Yale Orthopedic & Rehab, expect a long wait for an appointment, at least for Dr. Gibson anyway. Even as a prior patient of Doctor Gibson beyond three years of seeing him last you are considered a new patient. Do not be fooled by a non-existent waiting list either, every time I called there to ask if there's been a cancellation they added me to it, nor the false hope of calling daily for a possible cancelation opening as you will learn below. I've had knee pain now for several months and I scheduled an appointment with Doctor Gibson for March of 2023, acquired in November of 2022. I've made numerous calls to try and obtain an earlier appointment due to a cancellation, as directed by Yale staff when I called to schedule my original appointment. I was advised to call daily by several people that schedule appointments. On December 19, 2022, I was told there was a cancellation in January of 2023. When the receptionist learned I was a new patient, I was told "Oh sorry, you're not eligible for this appointment as a new patient." A complete contradiction to what I was advised back in November and most every time I called. How can an open appointment not be available to a patient, whether that patient is new or existing!? To say the least I'm extremely disappointed and frustrated with Yale Orthopedics & Rehabilitation. Good luck to all new patients. Connecticut Orthopedics is a great alternative. Kurt T

As a result of a job that required a ridiculous amount of pushing furniture, carrying my office with me everywhere and not having a desk caused more damage than necessary. When a second shot of cortisone didn't work, Dr. Halim suggested I wear a brace to protect my wrist. In 2017 I found that surgery was the next step. I am no stranger to going under so I was fine with that. An MRI revealed arthritis as well so I was glad to be rid of it. After surgery I was in a cast followed by therapy. All one place, the doctors and nurses are professional and do their best to get you in and out quickly. Dr. Halim also has another office where appointments may be easier. She is kind and I am pain free.
