Patient Reviews
Jan 26, 2026
I had my first appointment at OrthoNY and was impressed from start to finish. The entire experience was handled with professionalism, warmth, and efficiency.The reception staff greeted me with genuine smiles, making check-in smooth and stress-free no long waits or confusion.They were friendly, attentive, and well-organized. I entered all my info on a very user-friendly iPad—no paperwork hassle. The PA was fantastic: knowledgeable, thorough, and unhurried. She listened carefully to all my ailments & concerns and made me feel truly heard and respected.X-ray techs were quick, gentle, and highly professional, explained everything, positioned me carefully, and finished fast.It all culminated with Dr. Smith, who is exceptional—brilliant, compassionate, and skilled. He reviewed my history, examined me thoughtfully, explained my condition clearly, and outlined a solid plan. His confidence put me at ease, and I left feeling optimistic and well-cared-for.The whole team showed true excellence.
