The doctors are not only knowledgeable, but genuinely compassionate. They've taken time to explain everything clearly, answer all my questions, and never once rushed me through a visit. What really stood out to me is how they consistently go above and beyond to help whether it's following up personally, helping with forms, or just making sure I feel heard and supported. I am still facing rough days physically and emotionally due to my injury, and they always treated me with care and patience. This is a team that truly cares and it shows in everything they do.

I am a fairly active person and being sidelined like this was a real bummer. Enter OPT, my range of motion improved in a week, after just two sessions! Dr. Orlando has a no nonsense, targeted approach that works. A combination of stretching, massage, Graston, dry needling, trigger point really got to the root of the problem. I have greatly improved my range on motion in such a short amount of time. If you want real results fast, come here.

My father has special needs and they take that into consideration. They NEVER leave him unattended (such as another place did) and are very encouraging. You can tell they are serious about making progress. My father now has an easier time getting in and out of the tub, and I'm hopeful he can get even stronger. 5 stars!!

*** UNION OFFICE ONLY***…read more Went to the one in Union and was disgusted. The orthopedist sat me down sent me to his guys or wanted to and when I asked if I could go to where I felt comfortable he was very dismissive. I got the MRIs went to him and said here the MRIs he glanced over them and said yeah you need to go to physical therapy. 5 minutes when I wouldn't go to his people he was very dismissive. Went back, told him the physical therapy wasn't really working he said you need to see a pain management specialist. 5 minutes again he gave me names that were an hour and a half away from my home I said what about summit medical and I was dismissed. Then what I'm filling out my disability form, he's the only one that doesn't fill out the form. The office response was you are no longer a patient he has no obligation to fill this form out for you. Only when I copied my attorney in the email did I get any answers from them and then they sent it 4:00 p.m. the day before the claim was to be closed. Claim was closed and denied. I have to start all over again all because of them. Stay as far away from them as possible!

Since I was referred over to Dr. Greenblum by another doctor, I figured I would give him the…read morebenefit of the doubt and ignore all of the negative reviews online and made an appointment about a week ago and asked for their first appointment in the morning whenever it was next available (to avoid all of the time issues referenced in other reviews). The scheduled me for this morning at 9:30am. Since I was a new patient, I showed up for my appointment at 9:00am knowing I would have to fill out a bunch of paperwork. At about 9:40am, I asked the receptionist when I would be called in, since I had to get to work. I was told that the doctor wasn't even in the office yet, and that I would probably not be called in for a while. With that, I asked for all of my paperwork back, a refund of my co-pay and left. Since Dr. Greenblum obviously has a consistent issue with time, it shows a lack of professionalism and respect for his patients. Although, the staff was kind and as professional as they could be in the minimal interactions I had with them given the situation, it doesn't make up for the fact that this was a waste of my morning. I recommend finding a different orthopedist, unless you want to waste your time as well.

I will never go back here again!

Told me to "get some massages." 2 weeks later I am still in utter agony and losing feeling in my hand and arm. On the recommendation of a friend, I went to see a chiropractor and was very quickly diagnosed with a herniated C5-6 cervical disc. As soon as I got home, I looked it up on the internet, and it could not BE more obvious that this has been the problem all along. How could an ortho be so off base? In retrospect, I don't think he was even listening to me when I described my symptoms. Not to mention the cattle-call that occurs in their waiting room. Each appointment was a 3-4 hour adventure. The waiting there is ridiculous. Never again!

Rushed to hospital where they performed a "revision". Still went back for regular checkups which involve a co-pay and sitting well past the appointment time. Complaints of pain went with no resolution. One of his PAs stated it was probably barometric pressure. Had another dislocation a few years later. Again, frantic calls to his office went unanswered and unreturned. This one was painful. Rushed to hospital where revision was unsuccessful. Told x-ray showed hip cup installed incorrectly. Baruch never tried to contact me. Finally after 2 months in hospital and on pain meds resident ortho agreed to help. Said finally got hold of Baruch who just said resident doc can take me. After a revision I was asked how I managed the pain as dead skin was the only thing holding my leg together for years. Also, an infection was in the hip and leg from the original hip replacement by Baruch. On antibiotics off and on. Can't imagine the damage to my liver over time. I have called his office to get information on his Med Malpractice insurance. They're not giving me any information and haven't received a Get Well card from the so-called doctor. If you have an option I would not choose Baruch.

My husband was involved in a horrible incident while visiting New Orleans. He was out with friends…read morewhen a shooting occurred not far from them and he was knocked down during the stampede of panicked people. He was thrown down and landed hard on his shoulder. The ER down there told him his shoulder was broken and he should see an orthopedist right away as he would need surgery. Our GP recommended Dr. Cleeman and the amazing receptionist,Toni, in the Manhattan Ortho Astoria office was able to fit us in a couple days later. X-rays confirmed the shoulder was not only broken but it was shattered! Dr Cleeman said it was one of the worst cases like this he had ever seen. The ball was literally flipped over from the socket joint and was hanging upside down. YIKES. Rather than replacing the entire shoulder, most likely requiring future surgeries for upkeep, Dr. Cleeman felt he could repair the bones and put Humpty Dumpty back together again. And a couple days later, he did just that! After a very successful four hour surgery and a couple hours in recovery, hubs was home on the couch! At his follow up appointment a couple weeks later, he could already move the shoulder a bit and was recovering well. Dr Cleeman removed the bandages and I couldn't believe what we saw. What I forgot to mention earlier is that my husband has a half sleeve tattoo that goes up over his shoulder. It is very special to us as it has the US and Icelandic flags intertwined with a compass representing our paths in life that led us to each other (I am from Iceland originally). We had already accepted the fact that the tattoo would have to be cut for the surgery and Dr. Cleeman told us that the incision would go directly through the center of the Icelandic flag. But when he took off those bandages, we could hardly even tell where the incision had been made! Partly due to the glue they use now rather than exterior stitches, but mostly due to the fact that Dr Cleeman is a true artist and moved the incision place over a bit. He said putting the tattoo back together took almost as long as putting the shoulder back together but he he knew it was important to us. WOW! I literally had tears in my eyes. What an incredibly awesome and unexpected surprise!! It's about three months post surgery now and my husband is recovering so well and we couldn't be happier! Everything about our experience with Manhattan Ortho has been great! Toni has always been responsive and so helpful every time we have called and needed anything. They are both such caring people and I am so thrilled to be able to recommend them to anyone looking for an Orthopedist!!

I came here a few months ago and left feeling incredibly disappointed by Dr. Duarte. As time…read moreprogressed, I became increasingly disappointed with the entire office. Medical care: I saw Dr. Duarte for foot pain. First time i saw him, he was very distracted and answered his personal phone. Then, he sent me for an MRI. When I went back the second time to review the MRI results, he was over an hour late to our appointment and said "yeah I have other patients". Upon glimpsing over the MRI, he said "you have dead bone in your big toe". He advised me to stop running, to stop wearing high heels and stop doing anything that caused me pain etc. and offered to go over shoes I wear with me to ensure comfort. When I asked for physical therapy to regain movement in my toe, he said "I don't prescribe that when the bone has atrophied like that". At 32 years old, limiting me in this way led me to get a second opinion. The second doctor identified the issue and many months later, I'm doing PT to address it. I have since regained mobility in my big toe and can enjoy sports again. Approval for an MRI: I called 4 times so someone would get back to me and left multiple voicemails when following the right IVR process. I eventually selected a different number, got to a person who said "oh we never check that voicemail". Billing: of course, several months after I saw Dr. Duarte, I find out they didn't bill my insurance correctly so I "owed" a $400+ bill. All in all, with the exception of one person who cared about the billing issue, I wouldn't recommend any aspect of this practice and definitely not the doctor who showed such indifference to his patient's problem.
