I fractured my collarbone in the worst possible location, adjacent to the top of my shoulder. From the initial visit, Dr. Feldman assured me that surgery was the proper way to go, and the end result would leave me with full range of motion. His personality and knowledge made me comfortable from the start. During each and every follow up visit, he took his time, was detail oriented and answered all my questions. I'm very happy with the end result, and I highly recommend him.Patient Submitted Review

On January 2022 my youngest child fractured her left tibia. Dr Feldman and his team were extremely professional and took the time to ensure that we understood all the aspects (and potential risks) of the healing process. In the follow-up visits Dr. Feldman and his team maintained the same high level of professionalism that we had seen in the first visit. Our kid healed very well. Furthermore, even though she is always apprehensive and afraid about visiting any doctor she became extremely comfortable and at ease with Dr Feldman that she ended up looking forward to her follow-up visits. Thank you Dr. Feldman

Hands down the best surgeon! Dr. Feldman performed surgery on my son’s shoulder and my son feels amazing. Dr. Feldman really took his time with us both before and after the surgery. He has a great bed side manner and he was very patient with us because we had a lot of questions. I loved how he put us at ease. We could feel how confident he was in what his expectations were for my son’s outcome. Excellent surgeon 5 stars 100%Patient Submitted Review
