Great experience

Dr. Dushey was thorough in his examination of my shoulder and explained in detail what he believed had caused my pain and discomfort. He then explained what steps I should take to avoid a similar incident.

Dr. Varma is excellent in every way! I have total confidence in his abilities to care for my condition, help me understand its causes, and lead me to the treatment that works best for me. He exudes energy, knowledge, and light, combined with a great sense of humor. I recommend him highly and have heard about the amazing results of his surgical expertise from other patients.

I was happy with my appointment and Dr Duarte was attentivie to my injury.

Dr. Cleeman is excellent

I had my first visit with Dr. DuShey last week and was very impressed with how he listened to my concerns, asked me questions and made me feel comfortable immediately. After my diagnosis he went over a treatment plan and wrote it out as well for me to follow. I’ve already recommended him to a friend.

Beautiful office, friendly staff, caring and attentive doctor. Excellent experience! Highly recommend.

Professional and courteous staff. Very clean and appealing waiting area, restrooms and examination rooms. Dr Duarte explains his diagnosis after a careful examination. Super Doctor!

Very satisfied with my consultation with Dr. Cleeman.

I was very satisfied with Dr. Cleeman's performance during my treatment. He was, as always, very professional, on time and cordial.

Dr Cleeman is cool, not stuffy at all. He always discusses all the treatment options and does not push any treatment. Nice guy and I reccomend him 100%.

Dr Cleeman is an exceptional human being and a fabulous Dr. He spent time testing and then completed the session. It was wonderful in every sense.

Engaging, personable, thorough, efficient and professional. Both Dr. Varma and Trevor, his NP were among the best medical professionals I’ve seen. His office staff is equally impressive. Wish they were PC physicians

He is an amazing doctor. He actually sits with you and listens. He’s so helpful and patient. Even his assistant, Catherine was wonderful and so sweet.

Prompt, patient, communicative and kind. Great Service

Dr Craig Dushey is a very capable, caring Orthopedic surgeon. My recent surgery proved that Dr Dushey has the skill needed to do a knee replacement

My second ACL surgery (the first knee was corrected 5 years ago). Dr. Cleeman is thorough and thoughtful. He made sure to understand what I wanted out of the surgery and executed the work beautifully. This second surgery has made me better than I've been in ten years. The knee is strong and improving at a wonderful pace. PT and at home exercising has been a huge help as well.

Very thorough care.

She made me feel welcome and comfortable

I feel so much better now that Dr. DuShey has replaced my hip. Every step of the way, I was given time to decide, and given good information. I couldn't have hoped for a better team or outcome. Many thanks!

Excellent orthopedic. I highly recommend him.

it was a great visit to this facility the staff is very friendly and made me feel relaxed, Dr Cleeman explained the issue I’m having with my shoulder and was very gentle I didn’t feel rushed, I look forward to my next appointment! Thank you

Great doctor.

Excellent Doctor good service and staff members are very helpful

Dr. Cleeman is a PRO.. and very nice and the Best

Excellent facility and staff.

Dr. Varma is one of the medical professionals who I trust the most. He answers my many questions and has made excellent recommendations!

One Word: SATISFY! The Receptionist is very Cordial and Pleasant to deal with. The Nurse is very accommodating. And of course, Dr. Cleeman is very understanding. I already recommended a couple of people, I hope they contact your office soon.

Easy to schedule appointment. Knowledgeable and caring presenting options, and treatments.

First time seeing Dr Dushey. I did have to wait a bit, but he was definitely worthy every minute. He explained everything while going over my X-ray, and answered my questions. Did not feel rushed. Very happy with Dr. Dushey

Amazing and fantastic doctor. His on the spot diagnoses and demeanor is a model of what a good doctor should be, and I would highly recommend!!

Thoughtful. Smart. Identified the issues quickly and explained in simple terms which was very helpful. Highly recommend Dr. Dushey

I had been suffering from cervical neck pain for over 20 years and felt that by going through all the self care steps I could potential heal myself. All the stretching, yoga, exercise and massage was just putting off the pain for the future. Once I started losing sensation in my hand I knew it was time for the next step. DR. Varma gave me the reassurance that this would be the right timing because apparently I’m still young enough to heal properly. Little did we know I had a bone spur this whole time. He was right. Fast forward to the procedure, he was very maticulous and a true professional. I am now 2 weeks out, slowly recovering and will without a doubt recommend him ti friends and family. WOOO!

Dr. Cleeman squeezed me in to a full schedule on Monday after learning that I broke my left clavicle over the weekend. The staff was attentive, kind, efficient, and welcoming. Moreover, they went out of their way to assist me before and after seeing the doctor, and there was very little wait time. Dr. Cleeman was friendly, thorough, professional, and attentive as he listened to my questions and concerns. He explained what he saw in my X-rays very clearly while drawing a visual representation of my fracture to further my understanding. He offered two options for treatment, which he also explained very clearly. I highly recommend Dr. Cleeman.

Dr. Dushay identified what needed to be done in a knowledgeable & kind manner. He welcomed questions & answered them clearly. I am happy that Dr. Dushay is my doctor & I would recommend Dr. Dushay without hesitation.

The staff is lovely and helpful . Dr. Cleeman is wonderful , clear , helpful . All great . WM

He was pleasant and was pretty thorough in his explanation.

extremely kind and very professional doctor

My experience with this practice was extremely positive. All of the staff members were very professional (Example: Tony and Crystal…) and exceeded my expectations. Dr. Edmond Cleeman, MD is extremely knowledgeable and was able to diagnose my injury with ease and took the time to help me fully understand. Along with, Dr. Edmond Cleeman was able to diagnose an injury that I’ve been dealing with for many years; that other doctors weren’t able to figure out. So, all that being said I highly recommend this practice group. Adele aka Ace

Waited to do surgery till i was ready. Surgery was successful and within 3 months fully recovered

I have been under Dr Dushey 's care for about 4 years, and could not be happier with the care I received. I had two hip replacements, multiple cortisone and gel injections and constant support and encouragement. I also greatly enjoyed the fact that I did not have to deal with the insurance pre-authorisations, appeals and disputes, because everything was expertly handled by the office staff. Such a great help! Dr. Dushey and his office are the best!

He is patient, polite, and is very knowledgeable in his field. He explains things so you can understand your problem & treatment. He’s a great doctor.

The stay was not too long. we looked at the X-Rays talked about the knee ect.

The staff was friendly, informative and instructive. Dr. Cleeman, was knowledgeable about my particular case, and proceeded to treat my knees accordingly. Thanks to everyone, my visit to his office was right on target. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Dr. Varma is an outstanding surgeon. But more than that, he took time to listen & understand issues that were specific to my life as a Personal Trainer & Group Exercise Instructor. He was concise, clear, & always realistic in his prognoses & follow-up advice. I very much appreciated the “zero bullshit factor”, & am grateful that the surgery performed has helped transform me back to the active individual I plan to be for years to come

Excellent staff. Caring, engaging, and personable. Customer care & service is the best I have seen in a medical practice.

The best Dr, I had my hip’s replaced by him, unbelievable experience I recommend to anyone to allow him to have a consultation with you, thank you,

He’s extremely personable and thoughtful in his approach.

Everything was handled well. But I have a question. Since the xray was clean should I get an MRI? I still have pain. best, Anthony

Although in retrospect I am puzzled why Dr Cleeman did not do an ultrasound to establish if the problem was, in fact, muscular; since the x-ray of my ribs was inconclusive.

The treatment Drl Cleeman provided last spring was totally successful. This tiime, Dr Cleeman answered all my questions about further treatment for my arthritic knees and provided the prescription for Physical Therapy I needed. He was sympathetic to my concerns and I welcomed his postive attitude.

Excellent DOCTOR!!!!!!!!

Dr Dushey gave me a new hip a decade ago and recently I was having some pain in that area, so I made an appt. He and his staff are all so friendly and accommodating, as is Dr. D. It was good to see him again and find out there was no issue with my hip, only a hip muscle issue. My new xray looked identical to the old one showing the quality of his surgery. Thanks again to the Doc and his great staff. A shout out to Michael the xray tech! He will talk sports and memorabilia all day if work didn't get in the way. Bill A.

Excellent and friendly care.

Satisfied

Great!

Excellent. Patient, courteous, and explained everything thoroughly.

Medically and professionally taken care by Dr. DuShey and others. A very pleasant visit and left with the feeling that everything was done as it always should be done. Thank you!

I was in and out in a reasonable time, the office staff was friendly and professional, and the doctor was knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and he explained my condition and options for treatment very clearly.

It was fabulous.

The doctor was thorough & helpful.

Excellent experience. Friendly, knowledgeable doctor who speak TO you not AT you!

He was very good, he explained my problem very well. Thank you!

The staff and the doctor are very friendly. Dr Dushay is very attentive and listens and answers your questions and any concerns you may have! This practice has always been very good to me!

Dr. Varma is the best. I spent almost year with severe leg pain, hampering all my athletic activities and interfering with the quality of my life. because I am an older woman (in my 70's) , I felt that it was difficult to have doctors take my pain seriously. I went hunting to orthopedists and pain specialists before i ended up at Manhattan Orthopedics. Only the team of Dr. Varma and Dr. Cleeman recognized that it was, in fact, not a leg problem but a spine problem. In the midst of the pandemic, Dr. Varma performed a discectomy on me at Mount Sinai. I was frightened by the prospect of back surgery. Dr, Varma's kind manner let me go forward. I woke up after the operation with NO PAIN. I got my active life back! It's taken me a long time to write this review but i think of D. Varma a lot and I am profoundly grateful to him for his skill and empathy.

Just made me feel I was in good hands . explained how everything was going be done.My new knee is felling Great.

From the moment I enter the office I was treated with professionalism from the staff. Once with the Doctor, I was given a full examination. We reviewed my X-rays and discussed what his interpretation of them were. He eased my mind that my problem was relieved with rest. At the end of my exam, he said if any problems that I should feel safe in coming back again. I was extremely happy with his care.

Professionally, caring, knowledgeable Great friendly staff

Awesome

Allverygood

Great diagnosis, very clear in discussing my condition. Gave me a number of solutions and directions I can take. I felt very comfortable with his knowledge, background and education. When I left I knew I was in the right hands. In addition he has a great personality.

Great experience from start to finish. Friendly team, efficient service, valuable expertise.

Always informative and thorough

Dr. Cleeman and his staff are wonderful.

I have been under Dr Dushey's care since 2019. He did my first complete hip replacement in early 2020, and this hip has been completely functional and pain free ever since. Unfortunately, the osteoarthritis continues to advance, and Dr. Dushey continues treating my aching joints. He is not quick to operate and often suggests non-surgical methods first. His understanding, patience and expertise make this ordeal more manageable.

If you should ever need surgery for your knee ...you know where to go this is the BEST physician in NYC....he made my son brand new again...thank you DR

I had wonderful experience. The doctor is very much informative ,kind ,cooperative and overall caring for patients. I strongly recommend the doc. for this kind of surgery

The Doctor and the young ladies at the front desk are great . Thank You . Mrs Osullivan. ❤️

Everything went well today

Although I had to wait a little longer than usual to be seen. It was a pleasure to visit the office and have Dr. Cleeman take care of my needs.

Amazing staff

Had a very sincere visit with Dr Varma, felt he took his time and explained things very well. Felt comfortable .

Excellent. Dr Varma was very responsive.

Easy to get an appointment and there was no wait once in the office. Office is very efficient and Dr Varma was great and super sweet with the elderly dad.

Same thoughts/perceptions as reviewed on Oct. 31 of this year (see below): And on 12/19: Consistent: attentive staff, quick follow-up, appointment scheduled when needed. I will remain with this practice as long as I am in NYC! OCT. 31: Terrific office all around! From my first call to the office, Toni, the office manager, was kind, courteous, professional. She was able to get an appointment for me for the next business day, and sent me the paperwork to register as a new patient immediately. Dr. Cleeman was great - answered my questions, addressed any concerns, had an x-ray taken, and had it read within a few moments. A treatment plan in place and a follow-up appointment if necessary completed the appointment. Barely a wait time, and entire the staff was great. I highly recommend this practice!

All went well in office. Professional MD, nice manner and very knowledgeable. But I forgive to ask a questions, I don't even get a response to my few Questions by phone email ot text.

Dr. Dushey and his staff are extremely knowledgeable , very professional and caring.

I was not happy that I lost a month with the Astoria office. I was pleased that Dr. Dushey ordered a cat scan and a referral to a vascular surgeon who finally diagnosed my swollen leg. The CT Scan revealed that the knee surgery was indeed quite successful.

Timely, efficient, professional office. Dr. Cleeman was thorough and pleasant. Very happy to have been referred to Manhattan Orthopedics.

Excellent

Dr Varma performed a Cervical Laminoscopy in May of this year I just had my 6 month check up There is an incredible difference in how I feel. I did PT which he recommended and it made a significant difference He has approved further PT to improve my core He really LISTENED to what I want to accomplish. I am grateful not only for is excellent skills as a surgeon but for his support! I highly recommend him!

Dr Cleeman is always a good listener and very approachable.

Dr Varma was professional and recommended PT and gave me a place near my home

A beautifully run office great staff and Dr Cleeman is a master of his craft! Highly recommend

Very thorough and attentive to my needs. His staff was there for any questions I needed answered. Very happy with my results. I recommend Manhattan Orthopedics to all my family and friends if they need top urgent care.

Great experience. Very helpful doctor and staff.

Dr Cleeman is an excellent Doctor who truly cares about his patients and makes you feel at ease during your appointment. I would certainly recommend him to my friends and family.

Terrific office all around! From my first call to the office, Toni, the office manager, was kind, courteous, professional. She was able to get an appointment for me for the next business day, and sent me the paperwork to register as a new patient immediately. Dr. Cleeman was great - answered my questions, addressed any concerns, had an x-ray taken, and had it read within a few moments.

Totally satisfied

Waiting hour was short, the doctor showed up quickly. He explained the surgery process drawing pictures. He was attentive and very clear.

Very thoro visit

Love Dr Dushey . He takes his time and explains clearly and patiently all the options. Highly recommend

Dr. Varma has my complete confidence in both surgery and after care. He is a special doctor and a very caring man.

wonderful warm person, very patient, takes time to explain to the family the surgical proceedings. excellent dr. I will always recommend him. Leah Altchek

Dr Cleeman is fantastic! Very thorough with his examination.

great staff and doctor

Easy experience in the office

professional

DR. Cleeman was awesome and explained everything in great detail.

Doctor Dushey diagnosed my foot problem and recommended treatment to improve and recover the sprain.

Incredible physician who managed to assuage my "medical phobias" with his articulate and forthright communication style, coupled with an authentic desire to hear me. Dr. Varma is very incisive and an empath who reads the room and people very quickly. I could tell from our introductory meeting that he's an innate caretaker, great mentor and an extremely hardworking person who excels at anything he puts his mind to. While I am a confident 45 year old, emboldened business owner who enjoys solving personnel and operational issues without worry, in the hands of anyone, anywhere medical/dental/vision, I am reduced to a fear-filled child, who becomes lost in worries of negligent mistreatment. Being in a medical environment is upsetting due to my childhood memories of a very "bad pediatrician." It took me 3 years to work up the courage to seek treatment for my back and sciatic nerve pain due to this chronic phobia. Dr. Varma made me feel "safer" with each appointment. I carefully researched his practice, the clinic, its staff, Dr. Varma's appearance, his rapport with patients, medical knowledge base and gained more faith, trust and confidence with each appointment leading up to a very successful lower spinal fusion surgery. I am working with a wonderful physical therapist and enjoying the challenge of recovery. About a month post-surgery, I am gaining mobility quicker than I thought I would. 5 stars is an inadequate rating for the empathic, intelligent, thoughtful and trustworthy surgeon that Dr. Varma is. I am grateful to be in his capable hands and believe my review should be shared directly with Dr. Varma. With respect and gratitude, Emmeline Sim

Not a long wait.

Reassuring and specific

I was treated with exceptional care. Dr.Cleeman and his staff provided me with an excellent treatment plan for my injury.

Dr. Dushey performed knee replacement surgery several years ago with great results. He will operate on my other knee in a few months (TKR) I have complete confidence in Dr. Dushey.

Dr Varma was attentive, informative and answered all my questions concerning my spine. He also took his time explaining everything. Thank you Dr Varma!

He is an excellent surgeon and a very compassionate human being!

On time -- no waiting -- and very quick and clear in his diagnosis. Much appreciated.

He is the most kind, intelligent and patient doctor I have ever used. Truly the best.

Dr. Cleeman and his staff are great! They took me quickly when I had a fractured ankle, and were happy to deal with the paperwork associated with it being a worker's comp cast. They have been nothing but thorough and kind, providing great care.

Excellent surgical skills and a caring compassionate Dr. Would recommend Dr. Varma on all levels

Everyone was very nice!

Dr Cleeman is fantastic!

i WAS TAKEN VERY SERIOUSLY, LISTENED TO VERY WELL AND GIVEN GOOD RECCOMMENDATIONS.

Dr Dushey is a very knowledgeable, caring and friendly (!) person. I enjoyed meeting with him, and discussing my problem and options, and how to go about tending and treating it in the long term. I will be seeing Dr. Dushey in the future when my condition deteriorates, but I am confident that I will get the best care from him.

Every body was very attentive

Very professional and courteous

Great visit! I had several issues with my knees and hips which I discussed with the doctor. Talked prioritization with me. Rt Hip, right Knee, left knee…dealing with first 2. Got a cortisone shot in right knee and going for a CT scan of right hip…spent a lot of time with me…no rushing which I find more normal than not… thanks for a great experience!

Very understanding

Good Doctor with good results. Would Recommend.

The best of the best, thank you Dr Cleeman, appreciate your help!

as always, a pleasant and professional experience

Dr. Dushay examined my knee and then ordered an X-Ray, which was done in a matter of minutes. He compared the current X-Ray image to prior images of my knee and quickly identified the cause of my pain. He then recommended a conservative approach to solving the problem and will see me again as I see fit in order to monitor my progress. Dr. Dushay is a highly skilled surgeon and a very articulate and compassionate doctor.

Dr Cleeman and staff are very professional.

Dr Varma is the best doctor I will highly recommend him to my family and friends, and his staff is very well mannered courteous and very helpful

It was very good Very fast Satisfied Thank you very much

Wonderful confident Dr very easy to talk to He explained all I needed to know Dr. V gave me a feeling of hope for my pain

Dr Cleeman was very thorough with his exam and told me straight out what the time frame was going to be after the surgery and his bed side manners were very good . Liked that he called me later that night to ck up on me to see if I was in any pain . I would tell anyone of this doctor for this type of surgery I had .

Staff very friendly and helpful

Dr. Dushey always provides the advice needed. He is very respectful and his genial personality always makes the visit unpleasant one despite whatewver misfortune might require the visit.

Dr. Cleeman is the best!

Excellent experience!

I was seen immediately by the doctor and received excellent care. My medical issue was easily diagnosed and a treatment plan was provided. The staff was excellent. I highly recommend Manhattan orthopedic for sports or related injuries.

always a very professional and friendly atmosphere

Dr Cleeman is a great doctor. I’ve been his patient for many years. He is very detailed, has great bedside manner. I would recommend him to my family and friends.

As usual everybody there is professional and very very courteous

I AM 71 YEARS OF AGE AND HAVE BEEN TO NUMEROUS DOCTORS IN MY LIFE. DR. DUSHEY EXPLAINED EVERYTHING CLEARLY TO ME AND FULLY ANSWERED ALL MY QUESTIONS. WITHOUT DOUBT, DR. DUSHEY IS ONE OF THE BEST THAT I HAVE COME ACROSS IN MY 71 YEARS!

Caring , always available

Best doctor! Spend time with you, answer all you questions, knowledgeable and caring. Strongly recommended.

Amazing !

Quick, efficient, yet thorough and complete My best experience in a doctors office

Friendly, professional, clean

Very professional

I have been a patient for several years. He always greets me with a smile and a positive manner that always puts me at ease. His explainations of what he plans to do is explicit and understandable.

Answered my questions thoroughly

Doctor Dushey performed knee replacement surgery one year ago. When I first came to the meeting office I had to stop 3 times while walking one block. Today I walk one to two miles everyday and experience no pain!

Everyone in the office was so accommodating and friendly. Dr. Varma is fantastic and took great care to explain everything - great bedside manner! Excellent experience at a doctor’s office!

I love Dr. Cleeman. On top of being a great surgeon he is a wonderful person who always greats you with a smile. His skill at rebuilding my shoulder had me back to work in a week (not lifting per instruction but, nothing short of a miracle). His office is the most efficiently run medical office I have EVER been to with an equally pleasant staff. I am now bring my son to him for a torn ACL.

I want to recommend, in the most enthusiastic way, Dr. Edmond Cleeman. Last summer I had completely severed three out of four shoulder tendons, could not lift my right arm. This summer, because of Dr, Cleeman's surgical skill, I am back to full use of my shoulder and arm (maybe can do even more push and pull ups than before my accident). Thank you, Dr. Cleeman, for the many years of study and experience you put in to be able to serve your patients so well!

Great staff always welcoming striving to give the best service to their patient At the reception people make your day

Very impressed with Dr. Cleeman. He knows his stuff and has a pleasant manner.

Overall very positive experience- Dr. Varma was knowledgeable, I was seen expediently and staff were great.

I’ve been using this practice for years, knee replacement and now back issues. Physicians and staff are incredible. I highly recommend them. It’s taken a year for someone to finally find my unexplainable shoulder/back pain. Dr. Varma did it in a week!!! God Bless him. Thank you Dr. Varma.

very thorough and helpful

It was very easy to access the site and the audio was very clear. The experience was great.

evaluated my problem and gave encouraging information for continued improvement

Yes, very satisfied with surgery and follow-up visit today. Mobility increased. Minimal pain. (anonymous please)

My first meeting with Dr. Dushey was informative and an MRI and X-ray were ordered to further inform what seems to be the problem with my knee.

I’m very satisfied and glad to have Dr Gilbert as

I was referred to Dr. Varma by a pain management doctor. I had tried everything for years, following a serious car accident, I wanted to avoid surgery, I viewed it as a last, particularly as I was only 48. I would have sought at least a second opinion, possibly a third. However when I met Dr. Varma, I knew immediately, he would be my surgeon. Orthopedic surgeons have a reputation of being terse and insensitive toward their patients. Choosing a surgeon is a tough decision, you vacillate between the best surgeon, which I knew Dr. Varma was, and a kind, caring and empathetic surgeon. With Dr. Varma there is no indecision, no choice, you receive the treatment and care of a top surgeon but also from someone that cares about you and treats you like a valued patient. There is none of that ‘G-d like’ complex you often hear of with surgeons and orthopedics in particular. I was a bit nervous before surgery. There are a lot of people at the hospital and you are at your most vulnerable. But as hospital staff saw Dr. Varma was my surgeon, they lit up and made a point of saying how great he was. Dr. Varma also arrived early. He ensured I was comfortable. He went through everything with me again. My friends and family adored him post surgery too. My post surgery care was just as great as my pre surgery care, there were no surprises. Years on, I still feel great. I told Dr. Varma I would be happy to talk to anyone considering him as a surgeon and he could provide my name and number freely, this was how much I liked him and frankly was shocked when all was said and done he exceeded all my expectations. I felt as though I kept waiting for something to happen but it never did. I can honestly say not only did Dr. Varma changed my life, I miss seeing him, more doctors should be like Dr. Varma. My only regret is I wish I saw him for surgery earlier.

First, let me say Dr. Dushey apologized for keeping me waiting. Something most doctors don’t do and I appreciate that. He made feel at ease about my knee that is wasn't something serious. He took the time to explain to me about my x-ray and showed me some diagrams about my issue with my knee. His bedside manner and the staff are amazing.

Before, during and after surgery Dr. Varma has not only been a fantastic doctor he more importantly has been an outstanding person. Extremely easy to talk to, answered every question I asked, I never have felt rushed by him. He has very present when we rave met!

Once again from the reception staff to the physician's assistants, to the physicians, currently Dr. Cleeman, the experience has always been excellent. I remain a big fan of Manhattan Orthopedic. From an arthritic hip condition, to a shoulder injury, two broken hands and now an arthritic knee (for which I am currently be treated with jell injections), all sports related, I have been given what I consider excellent care that has always been professional, friendly and reassuring. At age 74 I remain active in no small part due to this care.

I had revision knee surgery by Dr. Cleeman. Best surgical experience I've ever had. Beyond the terrible parking and lobby areas, the OR at Mount Sinai Hospital is amazing. Must have been 8 medical technicians in the room, all of whom seemed highly trained. Dr. Cleeman was super nice, answered all my questions. Doing lots of PT, and my healing is going well. I highly recommend this doctor.

After my accident, I would not have believed I would be able to regain such effective use of my shoulder - Dr. Cleeman did a phenomenal job of repairing my torn rotator cuff, and has my respect and thanks.

Dr. Dushey, as always, was very professional, caring and pleasant. The practice was so very busy and the wait was long this time, but this is not generally the case so I was happy to wait to see Dr. Dushey.

Dr. Cleeman gets right to the problem, and provides great advice, as well as options.

Very efficient office. I have been with this group for a long time. I am always pleased with the care I receive there.

Once again, Dr Cleeman is a compassionate Doctor. His recommendations are exactly what is needed for the time being. If progress or conditions don’t improve he recommended other alternatives, which is great for my well being and or future. He cares for his patients, I consider him as a friend looking for my best health.

The staff was very friendly and efficient. No lengthy wait time, and the physician was very helpful with all questions. Would definitely recommed.

Trustworthy

Dr. DuShey is careful in his examination, clear thinking when explaining the situation, and competent in his procedures. When he isn't rushed, it is a compassionate and valued examination.

He's very patient he's knowledgeable he explains all procedures to the point that you will understand what he's about to do and I highly recommend this doctor

Very efficient process!

Did not gave to wait, did not feel rushed with the doctor and he answered all of my questions, as always

Very professional and thorough attention to my medical concerns.

Dr. Dushey was caring and clear in explaining the science of the procedure and post-op symptoms. Also, the administrative staff was efficient and courteous.

Can’t ever recall a more efficient visit to a dr’s office

Top rated exams. Left office very satisfied.

Very helpful re rehab tips

I had a pre-operation consultation with Dr. Dushey on 6 December prior to my 14 January knee replacement surgery. Dr. Dushey patiently and professionally walked me through the process and then took me to a colleague who drew up a detailed checklist for me to follow. I am very grateful and appreciative for Dr. Dushey's attention to me and my case. Sam Oglesby

everyone was so nice and the office is so efficient

Dr. Varma is extremely thorough. He took his time with me at each of my appointments with him. He is a surgeon primarily and could have just rushed me into surgery, but instead he used his conservative approach exhausting all options before rushing into a very serious procedure. It turns out one of those methods we explored is proving effective and as a result, we decided together to hold off on the surgery with follow up in several weeks. I really appreciate his approach. Other surgeons would have just rushed into surgery right off the bat, but he really cares about his patients and uses this approach which was ultimately, better for me as a patient. I highly recommend him. Plus, he is extremely nice and has a great bedside manner which is very important. His office staff is very nice as well and he doesn't keep you waiting long at appointments.

Knowledgeable, friendly, honest and candid. Great doctor.

Warm reception. Pleasant wait time.

Doctor Dushey was extremely helpful and informative; he provided me with a lot of informations about my injuries; he also gave me different exercise options and places where I can go for therapies

Dr Dushey is terrific, he diagnosed my problem and relieved my concerns.

Felt he listened, had expertise, and conveyed it in a thoughtful way. Also, his recommendation to do PT has proved very helpful.

Dr. Cleeman was pleasant and informative. He explained in depth what was wrong with my knee using the x-rays and a 3D visual aid, then he told me what my options were. He alleviated my pain temporarily, so I could think about my next step comfortably,

Great!

Dr. Dushey has been my doctor for a very long time and I have great respect for his knowledge and ability to care for me. I recommend him highly.

I have been a patient of Dr. E. Cleeman for years. He is professional, kind, patient and listens. What ever he does for my ailments works. And he doesn't say surgery is the first option.

Dr. Dushey is a thoughtful and expert physician. He diagnosed my condition and provided short-term and long-term solutions.

Professional & friendly!

Dr.Cleeman gave me a good explanation of what he would recommend for my knee pain . If a cortisone shot doesn’t help he let me know about another option. I liked the idea that he said that I never had to have surgery.

Satisfactory

Dr Dushey is one of a kind he will listen and help you understand, he also will take the extra time to work with your Problem.

It was great! Dr. Cleeman saw me quickly even though I was late. He helped me understand what was going on and how to fix it.

I was a nurse manager on an orthopedic unit for 25 years. I can say that Dr Dushey was one of the most professional orthopedic surgeon I ever had the pleasure to meet, His knowledge of orthopedic is vast and he explained everything to me in a very caring manners. He is very compassionate, which is extremely important in his profession. I can say without doubt that he was the best Orthopedic surgeon I have ever had to deal with as a patient, I would recommend him to anyone. He is exceptional and you can go to him without any fears or worries. I would give him 20 stars if I could,

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Dushey & his team. I had my total hip replacement surgery on August 6th, & my follow-up care has been exceptional. Dr. Dushey is a skilled surgeon and explained all the details of what he would be doing as well as what I could expect in recovery. His team arranged for a Visiting Nurse to come to my home as well as a Physical Therapist to work with me at home for 2 weeks after the sugery. My recuperation at home has been without incident and I feel confident that I am well on my way to regaining the mobility & quality of life that I enjoyed before my hip began to give me trouble. The Doctor and his staff, both at his office & at Mt. Sinai Hospital, were caring, skilled & most of all compassionate. I am so thankful that a friend referred me to Dr. Dushey!

Very professional , kind and friendly.

Professor Gilbert is a real professional with a tremendous knowledge in the subject.He gave me shot in my knee and the pain disappeared in a few hours after the shot.What else can a patient desire??

Follow-up was the reassurance I needed

Dr. Dushey was very professional and detailed with all aspects of my care. My recovery from Hip replacement surgery went smoothly. I would highly recommend Dr. Dushey.

I had my first TKR about 10 yrs. ago and my 2nd this past August and Dr. Dushey performed both to excellent results. Caring, personable and highly skilled he answers all questions and puts concerns to rest.

It was a pleasure to visit Dr. Dushey. He is a wonderful, caring doctor and person. I would recommend him to both family and friends if the occasion arises.

I cannot imagine care that is more thoughtful, professional, or thorough. Total satisfaction on all levels. I’m very grateful.
