“Quick and thorough”

Great experience overall- made sure to provide as many details as possible and answered all my questions. Felt very comfortable going into surgery as I trusted Dr. Glickel. Follow up visits and X-rays were also very thorough. Would definitely recommend!

“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.

“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.
