An RN friend of mine said the incisionlooks like an artist who pays attention to details. Her staff also is amazing both Teresa and Melissa. cant leave them out returned all the 500 phone calls I made lol. I would recommend anyone to Dr Abraham and her staff.Thank you all very muchDennise Bailey

Useless is an understatement ! I injured my hand all they did was pass me along from extensions to extensions… which led me to a voicemail … and they never even called me back don’t waste your time…. take your business elsewhere.. i did and got a same day appointment somewhere else. Don’t bother calling back now …… even though they were not going to anyway. What a terrible way to run a doctors office where people need you because they are injured!!!!! Wouldn’t recommend you to anyone.

Recently Dr. Kirschembaum told my aunt to call her insurance and advocate for herself to expedite their approval of prescribed treatment. So she did and when the insurance rep didnt see a request, she called the office to confirm if it was sent. Thats when this pleasant man told my aunt she should find a new doctor if she was unhappy with his timetable…. After he explicitly told her to call and expedite the process.Save yourself the trouble and just look elsewhere. Otherwise that pain in your foot will be compounded by the pain in your….

I’d like to start off with, I’m writing this in the doctors office. I had an appointment at 10:00AM, and arrived 5 mins early like one would. I was not called into a room for 25 mins, and when I was, the nurse asked a few questions and promptly left saying, “he will be right in to see you.” After another 30 mins sitting in the treatment room, there is no sign of the doctor. The medical staff is very professional, but work like a bunch of unmotivated living in there parents basement. The only thing this place has going for it is a nice building, and good medical training. Otherwise I would advise going to another orthopedic office.

Doctor was rough, short tempered, rude and very loud as he thought his walls were sound proof as I heard him talking badly of me to other doctors. I do not recommend their practice, they are shady and are not eligible to prescribe narcotics for a reason, they are a failing business, don’t try to save them.

Go somewhere else.It definitely feels like a manipulative network that sends you through their system to spend a ton of money and drag out the process. They schedule several unnecessary follow up appointments, each which lasted less than 5 minutes and didnt involve any actual evaluation. I went to several follow up appointments where all they did was tell me the next thing to do was to schedule an appointment with a different department of theirs. But they definitely still charge you for it.I also did not receive resolution or relief from the problems I was experiencing, and I decided to get off the expensive OSG merry-go-round and go somewhere else.

I could tell my physical therapist knew what he was doing but he was the most hands off and inattentive physical therapist I have ever worked with. In the beginning stages of my recovery, he pushed my leg hard to get full motion without providing any type of context on what motions I should avoid, or what level of pain I should be expecting. Further along I asked him whether I was ready to move to a different physical therapist to begin working to strengthen my leg because basically all I was doing at that point was doing the workouts and then leaving. He acted weird when I asked him saying he wasn’t planning on “discharging” me for another two weeks. I had no problem continuing with my regiment there but the lack of communication towards what to expect for my recovery was ridiculous because all I was trying to do was make a plan with him based on his expert knowledge of my condition. On my last appointment I asked him simply “what movements/workouts should I avoid” to which he responded “you can do everything”. I pushed him on this because I have gone through this injury before and remember starkly contrasting advice from PT guy at the time. He then went on to tell me not to run or do leg extensions...........why he didn’t lead with that and why I had to push that out him I truly don’t understand. Don’t get me wrong, The guy seemed nice enough but he did virtually nothing to put my mind at ease during this stressful time. I am not usually the type of person to go online and write a review like this but I think it’s important that everyone is aware that this is the level of attention you are going to receive despite all the money you have to pay.

Ive been a patient with this group for three separate injuries over the last 25 years. The specialists here are excellent at what they do. They start with conservative treatments whenever possible--I have never experienced any surgery for the sake of surgery with any of them. In each instance, they are thorough and make sure I know all of my treatment options before we decide how to proceed. And their physical therapy staff is some of the best around--kind, patient, knowledgeable. I know Im in good hands here.

Want to give a shout out to Brittany, one of the sign in associates. She was absolutely delightful and helped me to obtain certain medical reports expeditiously. Due to her prompt attention and going above and beyond, she provided materials that I likely would have had to wait for days. Thank you Brittany!!!! you’re the best!!!!

Drs are very attentive and do good work. Just be careful about giving them money in advance of surgery. They requested more than they needed to cover co-pay and trying to get back the refund owed to me has been a nightmare. They keep making excuses to delay payment, waiting 2 months and counting.

I went in on a Saturday am as a follow up from a hospital visit. I saw Dr. James. SUPER nice!!!! Made me feel comfortable, attentive, answered all my questions and explained in ways that you’re able to understand what’s going on. Genuinely makes you feel his compassion for your issue! Best doctor I’ve seen for my chronic back pain. (And I’ve seen A LOT in the past 5 years)

Review №16

The office is beautiful! Im going to preface this by saying I have no experience with the actual physical therapists or chiropractors. I simply dropped off my father for his appointment and remained seated in the waiting room. Im sure the remainder of the staff is lovely. My only qualm is with the women at the front desk. While I waited I was forced to listen to them talk unkindly about patients who were calling in. I was surprised and honestly disappointed. I work in customer service and can understand their frustration. Its absolutely normal! But I would never express my anger in an area where other patients can so blatantly hear. One woman ranted about how annoying a gentleman was because he always call to schedule an appointment and misses them constantly. The other woman quickly jumped in to say she knows exactly who that is and she cant stand him either. Thats not what you want to hear ever but especially not during your very first experience with this office. It left a bad taste in my mouth.

I had Robert stanton as an IME he lied and falsified his report he said walk without a limp not one time did he see me walk. My orthopedic surgeon says I do walk with a limp also my friends family and 4 physical therapist say I walk with a limp. All them cant be wrong and only Robert stanton is right. BEWARE OF ROBERT STANTON HE ONLY CARES ABOUT WHAT THE INSURANCE COMPANY WANTS HiM TO SAY. ROBERT STANTON IS A QUACK DOCTOR HORRIBLE MAN

I all of the sudden began feeling pain in my left foot awhile back and due to a hereditary problem had to have surgery! Dr Abraham, her assistant Teresa and Theresa her surgical coordinator were absolutely amazing! Dr. Abraham took the time and explained Everything so I could easily understand the procedure and recovery! Both Her assistants were always available to answer any questions I had! Im now in therapy and MaryAnn is literally helping me get back on my feet! My whole experience has been nothing but positive from the start!!!

Had surgery on pinky, pinned. What a waste of a personal day off and the down time. Looks the same as if I never had surgery. Then, another time I had a fractured wrist which was hard casted - why I don’t know, soft cast would have been good. Cast on too tight? Lost mobility in my thumb due to lack of oxygen (don’t quote me) any way, wrist healed but now I’m told I need surgery for my thumb! No thanks, I’m going to learn to live with it.

The two times I’ve been here I’ve waited to see the doctor for at least an hour. Awful experience. Was put in a boot. Had an MRI two days after my appointment. The doctor was booked for over a month out and would not go over the results over the phone. So, was left in a boot without any instruction or direction on what was wrong. I will never come back here or recommend this place. Awful customer service and no genuine human care.

First of all, Quality of treatment plan is no problem. However OrthoFast receptionist is worst ever. It took more than 40 minutes to start fill out documents for treatment.LaXXX F treated me as if she is a prison guard. I had a car accident and showed her letter from insurance company, she denied my letter which I told to bring to doctor. At a glance, she refused!! I talked with my Insurance representative and comeback, ask the receptionist (LF) please read carefully. She said this is not clearly said Insurance will pay even contact information on it. I talked my insurance company again and come back and asked her to call Insurance company. She refused AGAIN !!!Fortunately, other receptionist come and she arranged to call my insurance company and finally I can get in.I believe because of this receptionist, your practice lost many patients.I hope she will change her career to PRISON GUARD, She will be a wonderful guard in there. I guess her main problem is how to understand English. I recommend her to back to middle school and Study English again.

I waited longer than actually being seen. Waited for 15 minutes with back pain. Dr walks in and without even examining me determines I have a muscle strain. Prescribes pain med and muscle relaxer and says call me in 2 weeks if pain persists. Here I am 2 weeks later with back pain that is worse. I call to make an appointment and got a voicemail. Never even called back. This place cares for there patients like a factory assembly line. Terrible care for patients. Wish I can give it less than one star

They are overbooking patients. Evertime I go there with my mom, I have to wait over an hour for my visit. They are not working in patient best interest. The staff is very rude at front desk. Requesting record is a nightmare. Week after appointment Doctor Bindeglass still did not made a report for my mom visit. Also, Doctor Lauren Fabian perform wrong knee injection causing damage and tearing of my mom meniscus. She did not even made note of that incident in my mom file. My mom could not leave the office for few hours because of extreme pain. No one takes any responsibilities of such malpractice. I do not recommend this office. Great new building, however very poor service.

Most of my family has been here. Their front desk staff is helpful. Their medical assistants are knowledgeable & their doctors , we saw Dr. Lucke this time. He spent a lot of time with my kid, talking to him about sports medicine & injuries to athletes, (which was why we were there). Answered all our questions, & eased our anxiety about the injury.

The BEST experience all around. From the first visit with the Doctor to discuss my sons MRi results/plan all the way to his surgery. Dr Brittis and his staff were extremely friendly, caring and accommodating...Stephanie, Nurse Karen, Nurse Billy, Nurse Leslie, Dr. Doody, the anesthesiologist....amazing! As i left with my son after his surgery I felt a sense of relief because of the smoothness of the day if that makes sense. No hiccups, no mishaps, no confusion. It truly felt like my son was their only patient. They all made a horrible situation feel less overwhelming for me. Professional, warm and caring staff, and a beautiful, and clean surgery center.

I had a shoulder injury that was work related, and the day I went in for my appointment was the day the entire staff was moving into the new office building. I was actually expecting there to be delays because of this, but I was pleasantly surprised to find the opposite of confusion. The entire staff was extremely polite and friendly, very efficient, knowledgable, and they had literally been there for just a couple of hours. The new location at 305 black rock turnpike is absolutely amazing, gorgeous building, everything brand new and stunning. I had to get x rays, then a cortisone shot, the normal paperwork and setup the follow up appointment, and I was still in and out of there in about 30 minutes. I was so impressed with the staff, and the PA who saw me, Kathy Delucia, was fantastic. She explained everything to me, gave me the shot, the x Ray tech was also great. It already seems like a new state of the art well oiled machine. I would highly recommend this office to anyone, extremely impressed.

Billing department is awful. I went to orthfast and was diagnosed with a non-displaced fracture and put into a boot. The total visit was approximately $365. I went back 4 weeks later to see Dr Stanton who literally ordered an xray and said I could be put in a brace. I was charged for the office visit, xray, brace and $900 for surgery which of course I never had. I have spoke to Doreen who is their Director of Internal Revenue. She was going to follow up and after leaving numerous messages has never to this date returned my call or followed up on my billing query. I am still being billed for $900 surgery which I am now taking with my insurance company!

After months of x-rays and MRI. I saw 4 different doctors. They didnt give me any information on what I should do for my back. ie- surgery would be 50/50 I asked the last doctor for him to discuss with the other doctors and have one of them call me.No one called. Now Im in a lot of pain back to square one.

Review №45

Dr. Henry Backe performed a faciotomy to correct a dyputrens contracture of my left hand (concerning primarily my fifth digit) that was seriously affecting my manual dexterity to the point of total uselessness. The result so far has been in my opinion about a 98% return to complete usage. Keep in mind that this is only 1 month post-operative. In 1 more month I have no reason to expect that I will not regain 100% usage of of my hand to pre-contracture performance (I hope I worded that correctly)The entire surgical process from the time I left my home to the time arrived back home was less than 4 hours and was 95% painless.I give my highest regards to Henry Backe & the surgical staff at the Bridgeport Hospital 3rd floor surgical ward as well.Ultimate opinion of Dr. Henry Backe & above mentioned surgical staff....... Extremely high !!Thank You Very Much....... Brian Henthorn
