That is a plus when meeting someone about to perform hip arthroscopy on you, by the way. Very thorough, despite a long day's work, was calm, didn't seem rushed at all in my office appointment, was thorough as well as kind and reassuring. Naturally, his surgery was also well done and a success, the only issue I have is that I live rather far away from his office, but that's hardly his/their fault! If you have a hip problem, I cannot recommend this doctor highly enough. I would give more stars if possible. (I did add appointment only, but Dr. Coleman did consult without an appointment prior to me even having one, just from having been mailed my scans. The office is more than willing to help in such a situation, efficient and also very kind.)

I am currently a new minted MD. I graduated medical school in May 18' - I could not have done this…read morewithout the expert care I received from Dr. Canty. I was a semi-professional hockey player prior to medical school, I have multiple herniated discs from years of full-contact ice hockey that created a huge problem early in my third year of medical school when I was just starting my clinical rotations as a student. These rotations required me to be on my feet for 12-16 hours a day, 5-6 days a week assisting with physically taxing procedures such as CPR amongst other things. In November of 2017 I had a major crisis, I was suffering from debilitating pain to the point where I was unsure if I would have to take a leave of absence from medical school to have surgery. If you go to a surgeon with a problem their answer is generally to cut, its their job, its all they know. I was told by one surgeon to get two discs removed and my vertebrae fused which would have inevitably delayed my graduation, and required months of painful recovery. I sought out a pain management doctor who was close to my home, who gave me an injection that gave almost no relief and he refused to give me another one for 3 more months despite me telling him I couldn't function enough to do what was required on the wards., again facing having to leave school because of my pain. He recommendation to wait 3 months was based off of outdated recommendations. I found Dr. Canty looking for an alternative pain management doctor who understood my need to work. Dr. Canty successfully managed my pain with injections throughout my 3rd and 4th year of medical school that gave 100 percent relief for weeks at a time. Towards the end of medical school I realized I needed more relief than just a few weeks of pain relief and Dr. Canty offered to perform a procedure that would permanently relieve my pain and would have me back to work the next day. He performed a minor surgery that completely alleviated all of my pain. Waking up from the surgery I could instantly feel my pain was gone, I returned to work the next day as he promised. I was no longer living from injection to injection. I have ZERO pain, weakness or numbness to this day, almost a year later. From one physician to another I can say with sincerity he saved my life. I would not be able to be helping my patient today was it not for his expert knowledge and care. As a resident physician in a busy emergency department I am often asked by my supervisors "Is what I am doing, what I would want done for my own family member?" -- I am writing this review because I would trust Dr. Canty and his staff with my own family, and with myself if I ever need him again. He is truly an expert and his office runs like a well oiled machine. Pain management is emerging into a huge field, especially in the midst of the opioid epidemic. Dr. Canty in my opinion, from my experience with him over the last two years is truly an expert, if not the best in all of NYC, and I would recommend him to anyone with any type of chronic or debilitating pain. I would not be here today, saving lives myself, had he not saved mine. -Max Lazarus

His academic achievements speak for themselves. What sets him apart from other physicians is his drive to actually make a difference and provide relief from pain, which many of us have been told is in our minds, or we have to just deal with because everything's been tried. That isn't always the case. Dr Canty has gone out of his way, cancelled his personal plans to accommodate my own schedule to treat a chronic condition that I thought would never go away. I am a physician and I can assure you that you're in the best hands with Dr Canty. There's so many different types of treatments that many doctors don't know about. Dr Canty & his staff are by far at the TOP of their game. Definitely 5*****

Unfortunately.. I suffered a complete ACL Tear earlier this year, JAN 2009…read more Fortunately I met with an amazing surgeon, Dr. Andrew Rokito, at the NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases. I first spoke with one of his assistants, Iyvonne, who gave me immediate attention coordinating X-rays, meeting the doctor (on his break in between surgeries), and getting my MRI done. Dr. Rokito recommended a few physical therapy sessions to strengthen my quads before surgery and with a week's wait time the swelling would have lessened enough to operate. Dr. Rokito was the sports doctor for the Mets up until 2004, so when we talked about repairing my ACL I knew he would be capable of doing an excellent repair regardless of graft choice. (I chose the strongest graft, my patella tendon.) SInce ACL Reconstruction is no joke, i can't tell you how comforting it was to know my surgeon is one thee best orthopaedic surgeons and is the head of his dept. I will also say that the staff of lovely nurses at the x-ray facility were very nice, almost to the point that I felt like I was given special treatment. Dr. Rokito is VERY highly respected, I could tell by interacting with other of his colleagues, other surgeons. His staff is also incredible, which was the first sign that i found an amazing doctor, he is surrounded by an outstanding team. I was told Dr. Rokito's hands are like magic. Post surgery, my follow up visit with Dr. ROkito gave me an extra boost of confidence to walk with a regular gait and to protect the scarring from any sun. I felt at ease with the whole surgery and recovery process and absolutely felt that i was in the best care possible. I am approx 5 months post op, 100% confident in a perfectly healed knee (Dr. Rokito said so) and continuing to work on regaining all my muscle strength in pt. If you are unsure about picking a doctor or surgeon, go with the best, reputable Doctor you can trust.

By way of comparison: both an Italian and a Russian doctor were able to diagnose me in just 10 minutes during an online consultation--immediately after reviewing my test results. The diagnosis: axillary nerve compression. This Dr. Rokito is a terrible human being who is indifferent to people's health; perhaps he is simply an incompetent specialist, but I suspect he is merely uninterested in patients with low-cost insurance plans--moreover, I distinctly felt that I was being treated with disdain. I spent two months waiting to see this Rokito, only for the doctor himself to grant me a paltry 10 minutes--and not even provide a diagnosis, essentially stating just one thing: "I cannot, and will not, help you." Doctors like this should burn in hell--or find a profession other than medicine.

For years I suffered from foraminal stenosis of the lumbar region. My initial consultation with a…read morespinal surgeon in NJ was frightening. He advised me that I would be in excruciating pain for 6 weeks after the surgery. My PCP referred me to the Weill Cornell Spine Center in NY. Dr. Fu actually said that I would need an anterior & posterior spinal fusion which the first Dr. never talked about. Dr. Fu performed the surgery & my recovery has been amazing. Pain was tolerable & now at 6 weeks out I no longer have that horrible back pain where I could only stand for 5-10 minutes at time before I had to sit down. I just saw Dr. Fu yesterday for my 6 week follow-up & he said I was doing great & I got to see my x-rays showing all the new hardware holding my spine together. I would highly recommend Dr. Fu to anyone who experiences spine issues. Thank you Dr. Fu for greatly improving my quality of life.

I was required to send all my medical history records, including an original MRI disc. After reviewing all the required documents, including my referral, he had his patient coordinator call me to tell me I don't need surgery and to seek a pain management specialist. I reiterated that I was referred to him by a pain management specialist. She said she'd call back and hours later I was given an appointment and was told I need to get an X-ray prior. I was skeptical to actually confirm the appointment due to the confusion and not addressing it, yet I figured we all screw up now and then. I should have went with my gut. Day of appointment, a bad pain day btw, I show up on time, do my X-ray, having to sit twice before it was done, then went to Dr Fu's office and waited for over an hour. When I finally saw Dr, I get no apology or greeting. He says that after reviewing X-ray and notes, I don't need surgery and to seek a pain management specialist. Again, I reiterated the situation to which he says it's not a good idea to do surgery as it's not worth the risk, blah blah, not addressing my confusion due to his unprofessionalism. I felt ignored and treated like a fool I asked for a good pain mgmt specialist since my last one exhausted his options. Of course I was recommended me to someone in his office, a 'specialist' with terrible reviews on both Yelp and Google. Adding further damage, they never gave me my original disc back after dismissing me. I had to ask for it. The front desk said I could either come back (and waste another day) and pick it up or they could mail it to me. That was in March. For over 2 months now I've called repeatedly, at least 4 times, asking for them to mail me my disc. Every time I called, someone said that it was waiting to be picked up when I specifically said, initially, as well as every time I spoke to someone, that I never said I was coming to pick it up, and I wanted it to be mailed to me as soon as possible because I need it in order to seek other professional help for my back pain. The next day, I get a 'Cornell portal' email notification and to view it, I have to waste time signing into a link. I see the note that states that it was mailed stating it was waiting to be picked up and it was mailed USPS to my home (see below). That was almost 3 weeks ago and I still have not received my disc. Their office is less than 9 miles away. I could have walked there and back yet I never got any mail from them. Due to their incompetence, I had to reschedule appointments because I have no MRI disc and now I have to go to where I obtained my original disc and pay a $25 fee for a duplicate, because of the incompetence of this facility and employees. I've wasted countess hours, compiling info, making calls, going to appointments, etc. I've wasted money, a co-pay for a specialist and a copay for an X-ray and the fee I now have to pay to get another disc. And I've wasted precious time that could be spent on finding a facility that cares more about their clients and that can help me rather than cause me anxiety. With so many people in one office being so careless, I can't imagine how careless they could be with the patients that ARE in their care. Everyone's health is important, and deserve a professionals time and respect. We should seek medical professionals that treat us better than this! There are many other doctors, especially in NYC so I strongly suggest DO NOT waste your time and money with Dr. Kai Ming Fu. Neither he, or any of the many coordinators consider why people are seeking his help. Evidently, they don't consider their patients' needs. It's just a money making business. I complained to the establishment and plan to copy and paste this review to all social media sites and medical review sites for all to be forwarded, as I wish I was forewarned.
