A bit like the check-in desks at a busy airport. I was checked in quickly and directed to take a seat in the waiting area . It was like a scene I experienced in crowded doctor's office in India many years ago. There had to be 40 people in the waiting area , all holding their clip boards and paperwork . Staff , with the obligatory clip board , walking in calling the first name of the next patient . I thought , this will be my last visit to this place. I waited 45 minutes to see my provider , not unusual these days . Staff led me to the examining room and I was amazed to see TWENTY examining rooms , I got room 9 . Eventually the Physiatrist came in, no long wait . Introduced himself , failed to introduce the presumed scribe that came in with him. I got the sense I was being rushed and in a conveyor belt experience. The doc did seem to be skilled and I will return and see what visit two is like . At check-out I was taken care of by someone whose name tag said "Director of Operations". He was very pleasant and quick . Good to see he was on the front lines working with the grunts .

If I could leave no star I would. In 2022 I had a career ending injury that Dr Douglas diagnosed as…read morea meniscus tear. After surgery, I continued to have pain and so I was sent every 2 to 3 months for knee injections which never helped. I kept asking for imaging and was told it's just how my knee healed. After Douglas retired. I asked why I was never given the option for Moore imaging and his nurse practitioner sent me for imaging. It turns out I needed a complete knee replacement so I did had Dr.Hlubik do my knee replacement. Days later, I went back to get my stitches out, and my leg was on fire. It hurts so bad . I was told it was normal . I told his PA Nolan I was going to the emergency room for imaging when I left the office . A half an hour later he called me to tell me to go to Windsong to get an ultrasound . Had to be poured on blood thinners because there were too large blood clots in my leg. From that point on I was completely forgotten about for a month. I kept calling and messaging my patient portal asking for physical therapy and nobody answered the patient portal and the women that answered the telephone would tell me there was never an authorization for PT. Finally my insurance company sent me the pre-op that was dated April 2025.! The same day the operation was authorized. Finally in August I was allowed to go to physical therapy. I got apologies up and down from a patient's advocate, and then Dr. Hlubik called me to apologize. I don't blame him entirely because it's his team that let me down.. I will forever beyond blood thinners because the blood clots are still in my leg. I was never able to return to my career for New York State.. which affected my retirement. And I don't know if anyone has checked lately but blood thinners run about $300 a month.. in case anyone's wondering I've had quite a few surgeries and never developed a blood clot and I was a very healthy 52 year-old woman when they started.

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.

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.

We narrowed down my problem to being one of two things ... it was a little early to make a true call on it, especially when I don't remember ever injuring it, and he gave me a couple of suggestions of things I can do in the meantime while I wait a bit longer and see if the pain subsides. If I ever have to go back to this office, I'd be more than happy to! BTW, when my doctor referred me here, they actually reached out to ME FIRST, welcoming me to their office and eager to set up an appointment for me. Really wonderful to be seen and heard as a patient. If you're ever referred here, do not hesitate. You're in great hands!

It was extra helpful that he had had the exact same injury in the past as I had so he had first hand experience to better explain it to me. If I ever have hand issues in the future, there is NO ONE else I would see except Dr. Lanighan. Truly cannot express what an amazing, caring doctor he is, especially to someone he just met.

The building is expansive and feels like being inside a mall. Everything is FINE, but there is no personality, no human touch. I went in for an issue with my shoulder and was zipped through an x ray and appointment with a lovely PA. She recommended PT, which I then attended for about a month and a half. The office staff were efficient and it was easy to make appointments. My assigned PT wasn't a perfect personality match, but they were obviously capable and I trusted their advice. Throughout my treatment I got constant emails asking me to fill out questionnaires and surveys, some about myself and some about the providers. There were so many that I'm sure I didn't complete them all, but there were no consequences and no follow up was requested so it's hard to tell if they were really necessary. When my treatment was over I got a bill which was difficult to decipher and said I owed $30, which I can only assume were for copays that they didn't register in their system. The billing amounts were inconsistent between sessions so I'm only guessing that was the issue. I called to follow up and was sent a link where I could upload my credit card bill as proof of payment. I've heard nothing back since then so I can only guess everything is settled. One other note, I got an automated phone call at 6:38am from this office telling me there are exciting new updates coming to their online system. No thank you, I didn't need to be woken up for that. Overall, I got the treatment I needed, which was the most important part. However, I wouldn't come back here again.
