“Excellent!”

I am extremely grateful to Dr.Glickel and his team for the exceptional care I received. From my first consultation through surgery and recovery, his expertise and calm, confident approach made a difficult experience much easier. I felt heard, respected and well taken care of throughout the process.

“Everything was phenomenal, and it is clear why Dr Glickel is a specialist”

From the first time we met before surgery, I knew I was in good hands. I really have nothing negative to say, and everything from the surgery to the recovery was easy.

“Unmatched surgical skill and knowledge”

Dr. Glickel is one of the most sought after hand doctors in the U.S. He repaired two fractures in my right hand with excellent results and very minimal incision scars. He never pushed anything on me and always prioritized my health and well being. He is well known throughout the NYC metro as a top physician, and I am so thankful I found him! Dr. Glickel has a lovely demeanor and is a highly awarded contributor and asset to the medical field.

“Great Experience with a Dr who really cares”

Had an evaluation with Dr Glickel for my hand injury and found out I needed surgery to repair my fingers. My options were explained clearly, and everything from surgery, to post-op, to the follow up was in-line with the expectations laid out. I felt he took the time to listen and explain things in as much detail as I wanted. A great experience overall.

“Unbelievable success in treating a years-old broken wrist”

After letting a broken wrist sit for over 10 years, I saw Dr. Glickel when the pain became unbearable while working out. He diagnosed me with a "Scaphoid non-union advanced collapse," or "SNAC'd" wrist. Apparently the bone had broken way back when and never healed right, and I was developing arthritis through the joint. He suggested a surgery, the Malerich procedure, that would remove the affected bone; he would perform the surgery himself.

The surgery was comfortable and easy. After getting the surgery, my recovery went exactly as he described, and he stayed available at all hours to answer any questions. After weeks of follow-ups, my wrist is now starting to improve over its pre-surgery condition -- I can start doing some push-ups for the first time in years!

I can't thank Dr. Glickel enough. Without his suggestion, I would have ended up getting a wrist fusion, with a significantly worse range of motion and harder recovery.

“My experience was great, Dr. Glickel understood what was causing pain in my wrist and thumb and conducted a successful surgery and recovery plan.”

After severe pain in my right thumb and wrist caused by an old injury, Dr Glickel proposed that I get surgery to reconstruct my thumb (which was out of place and needed to have a metal rod previously added removed) and reduce pain in my wrist area. Dr Glickel conducted a complicated surgery with a long recovery plan that was extremely successful. After 2.5 years of pain in the area, my hand finally feels normal.
