Two years ago, Dr. Stieber performed an artificial disc replacement (ADR) in my C5-C6, and…read morebasically gave me my life back. I had been living with increasing pain from a herniated disc that at one point was so bad I thought I'd never work again, let alone watch a movie in a theatre or sit in a plane long enough to take a real vacation. I was on disability from work a couple of times, and had gotten to the point where I thought I was just one of those people destined to take opiates and watch daytime TV for the rest of my life with bad gray roots coming in. At the time, the ADR surgery was pretty new, so we considered a fusion briefly, but I was concerned about loss of mobility. I am so glad I selected this surgery and this surgeon! Dr. Stieber is exceedingly competent but he's also NICE and he cares about his patients as people. For my surgery (performed at NYU), he brought in a fabulous anesthesia specialist who seriously listened to me regarding my tendency to become quiet nauseous with general anesthesia and doubled up on the anti-emetic as a result. I was back at work in just 10 DAYS after the surgery, an amazing feat in my opinion, as I am part of a Facebook group of people who had the same or similar issues and surgeries. I had one of the absolute best experiences of anyone in that group. In fact, my mobility after the surgery is better than it had been in years. I am just so impressed and grateful, and every time i bang my head at karaoke, I think how lucky I am to have had Dr. Stieber as my surgeon. THANK YOU! Also, his office team is great too!

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.

*** 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.

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!

Had Dr. Howard Baruch operate on my hip. A total hip replacement…read more Shortly after I had a dislocation. Called his office repeatedly. Never returned call. 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!!

This review is entirely separate from my experience with Dr. Craig Dushey. If I had to rate Dr…read more Dushey separately, he gets a 5/5 in my book. My experience with him was wonderful. He had excellent bedside manner, was very informative, and performed thorough tests while evaluating my knee. I genuinely felt cared for under his care. Unfortunately, this review is being written because of my experience with his PA, Catherine Keable. I found Catherine's behavior and attitude to be deplorable, especially given the field we work in. I normally don't write reviews, so naturally, it takes quite a lot for me to feel compelled to write one. In this case, however, I feel it's important to hold Catherine accountable. I called earlier today with one simple question: Had my MRI results been received ahead of my upcoming appointment? You answered my question, and I simply asked for clarification because I happened to be outdoors and missed a portion of what you had said. Your reaction was completely unprofessional and unbecoming of someone working in healthcare. You responded with, "Did you hear what I said? Did you hear any of what I said?" followed by additional disrespectful remarks. When I asked you to calm down so I could explain why I hadn't heard you clearly, you proceeded to hang up on me. Given the nature of how healthcare can be, I'd like to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you were having a bad day. However, that is in no way an excuse to treat a patient with such disrespect, especially one who was simply seeking clarification about their care. Patients deserve patience, professionalism, and basic courtesy. These are not unreasonable expectations. Do better.
