Its going to be difficult to put into words the way I feel about my wonderful experience at the HHS . I am beyond thankful and blessed that Dr. Trehan and his awesome team provided me with the most professional and compassionate care imagenable . I am in awe with Dr. Trehan and his entire team . Everybody is caring and friendly . Geralyn coulndt have been more helpful in getting me ready for an operation the day after my consultation with Dr. Trehan . It was magical how quickly she helped me to be cleared for surgery . Due to a bad fall I had several fructures and a fragmented elbow which called for a skilled surgeon . Well - i got really lucky with Dr. Trehan ! Usually I see at least two Doctors to make sure I will be in good hands. it was not necessary - the moment I met Dr. Trehan i felt at peace and reassured that he has the skills to fix my messed up elbow . His charisma , kindness , professionalism and down to earth attitude makes it fun to meet him for my follow up visits . The operation was successful and I am happy to have my range of motion back after several month of physical therapy . My scar is not noticeable unless i make an effort to see it . Hopefully it will heal as beautifully after Dr. Trehan removes the screws and plates in approximately one month . I feel truly fortunate that I am Dr. Trehans patient and I highly recommend him and his amazing team .

Dr. Trehan was great with our son, when he cut his finger (tendon and joint puncture). Re-assuring, friendly, took time in the appointment, and great doctor overall. Surgery itself (day of) also well organized.

Dr. Trehan and the entire HSS team are amazing. They helped me fully recover from a bike accident that left me with three breaks in my wrist. They provided the most professional, compassionate and knowledgeable medical care and support. If you’re anywhere near NYC, this is the surgical team you want on your side.

I have always been a fan of HSS and Dr Trehan is a great example of the high standards of this institution.I had carpal tunnel surgery recently and I would highly recommend Dr Trehan. He provided clear explanation of the procedure as well as excellent post op instructions. Everything went according to plan with great follow up.

I had fractured my scaphoid early in the summer after a fall, but ignored it for two weeks before finally seeking medical attention. Dr Trehan was my first call, having found him through the HSS website. The attention and care Ive received from Dr Trehan and his team over the last few weeks has been nothing short of exceptional. Within two days I had a thorough consultation. By the end, Dr Trehan and I agreed that due to the nature of my fracture surgery was necessary for a successful path to recovery. HSS has an awesome infrastructure in place that makes the preparation for surgery seamless, expeditious, and pain-free. The surgery went incredibly smooth. Although a larger incision was required the scar is barely visible. Im now 12 weeks into my recovery, and Im almost back to normal. Dr Trehan is probably one of the best surgeons Ive met, and an excellent hand specialist. You will be so thankful youve sought him out as many other reviews here can attest. A special shoutout to Geralyn, Michelle and the rest of his team who are simply wonderful and always welcome you with a professional attitude and a smile. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Dr. Trehan was recommended to me by a HSS employee, and I am so happy for that recommendation. My left wrist fracture occurred during COVID-19. I live in Queens, NYC, so my emergency care was given at a local hospital, but the following day I got in touch with Dr. Trehan’s Office. Geralyn helped coordinate my visit and then once surgery was decided upon, she diligently scheduled all my pre-op testing. I was operated on the following day. Dr. Trehan took the time to explain the procedure, recovery period and rehabilitation. His calm and professional manner were extremely reassuring and his skill as a surgeon, excellent! I have since made a full recovery and have excellent use of my left hand and wrist. I must also mention Natalie who was responsible for the coordination of my post-op care and Dr. Trehan’s PA who saw me during my visits. I highly recommend Dr. Trehan and his team.

I will be forever grateful to Dr. Trehan for taking me on as a new patient in an emergency situation due to a broken wrist. I am also indebted to him, as a senior adult, for accepting Medicare. His educational credentials r exceptional. What also is exceptional is the calmness & kindness he displays from the moment he enters the examining room. And throughout the follow-up visits, he gave me a sense of confidence, crediting me with contributing to my successful outcome. An additional perk, a friendly & competent office staff. I feel truly fortunate to have been Dr. Trehan’s patient.

My son broke his knuckle in December and we were referred to Dr. Trehan. He is amazing! He is great with kids and adults. He explains things in easy to understand terminology, and is extremely knowledgeable about all things in the hand and arm. I would not hesitate to recommend him. My sons finger is back to normal and hes been given the clearance to return to all sports!

In November 2020, I had a freak accident that resulted in a tendon tear and an unusual complication that left me with severely limited mobility in one of my fingers. After getting initial treatment at urgent care and letting the initial scaring heal, I was referred to Dr. Trehan who assessed the situation and assured me that there was no reason I couldnt regain full mobility. I was certainly skeptical, but Dr. Trehan was incredible throughout the entire process. He didnt jump to any conclusions or recommend any procedures until hed fully analyzed the situation and reviewed extensive imaging. Once we had a plan in place, we walked through every step of the process to make sure I understood what would happen, the risks and that I was comfortable. The surgery itself was a great experience. Every member of the staff at HSS was truly wonderful. After the surgery, I began physical therapy, and although the physical problem had been corrected, scar tissue and swelling still restricted my mobility. As such, I remained somewhat skeptical about my recovery, but Dr. Trehan reassured me and encouraged me. Over the course of a number of weeks of physical therapy my condition improved significantly. Dr. Trehan continued to see me regularly and evaluate my progress. I eventually stopped physical therapy when I had come close to regaining full mobility. About two months after that, to my surprise and delight, I reached a 100% recovery in all respects. The finger is now functioning perfectly and an injury that had fully consumed my mind for months is finally an afterthought. I highly recommend Dr. Trehan and his colleagues.

I had absolutely the best experience with my recent hand surgery. Dr. Trehan is a professional and skilled surgeon. He is concerned and thorough with his explanations and put me totally as ease. If there were 10 stars I would give him that.

Dr. Samir Trehan and his whole office made my recovery simple and and undaunting. From the explanations of my injury, the steps I could take, the options available, the surgery, and all of my pot operation care the whole office was there in support. If you have the unfortunate occasion to need Dr. Trehan and his care i could suggest no one better.

My experience with Dr. Trehan began with the initial evaluation. He was forthright expaining the medical reality of no improvement in my condition without surgery and I believed him because he seemed sincere and accurate. Surgery itself was just under local anesthesia but he assured me that I would feel pressure and not pain and talked the whole way through so it was uncomfortable with pressure but no pain. Post -op he prepared me for pain the first day which was true and then no further pain. I highly recommend him for his surgical and communication skills

My newborn daughter needed a surgery. We meet with Dr. Trehan and from the get go he reassured us about the nature of the surgery. The prep time to the actual surgery was handled very professionally by his team. The surgery went as planned and the whole staff at HHS and Dr. Trehan took great care of my daughter. Surgery was a success. Dr. Trehan is very caring. I would recommend him anytime.

I had the best experience with him and with HSS as a whole, everyone has made me feel so taken care of. I highly recommend Dr. Trehan and HSS.

My 3 year old son Charlie recently had surgery on his hand and Dr. Trehan and the entire staff at HSS was exceptional! Cannot recommend Dr. Trehan and his team enough. Charlie was born unable to fully extend his thumb and since being Dr. Trehan and having a smooth and swift recover, he has been showing off his new ability to move his thumb to everyone he sees and is so so happy!! Thank you to you all!

Dr. Trehan is an exceptional professional in his field. During a very difficult time for my family, he demonstrated a calming bedside manner while maintaining a high level of professionalism and sharing his expertise with us. We were told that my daughter may not fully straighten her arm again. Thanks to his talent and an excellent therapist, she can now achieve full extension. Thank you Dr. Trehan.

Dr. Trehan is exceptional! My teenage son broke his finger on Sunday and was in surgery by Tuesday. Dr. Trehan worked with our tight schedule and everything went seamlessly. HSS and Geralyn made everything so easy, especially as this all occurred during the onset of the pandemic in March. It was so reassuring to have an orthopedic who could easily communicate what was going on, and professionally, yet personally, guide us through the process - from consult, to surgery, to rehab. I would absolutety recommend Dr. Trehan and HSS!

After having been in a good deal of pain with SLAC wrist for 3 years I finally began the search for a solution. I had several consultations before finding HSS and Dr.Trehan. Alas, I was presented with multiple options and given the opportunity and the time to address all of my concerns.My experience at HSS was seamless start to finish. The surgical procedure (proximal row carpectomy) went very well. After 4 months I am experiencing much less pain, I have greater flexability and grip strength and am able to resume activities that were put on hold for 3 years without the discomfort that would have put them to an immediate halt.Dr. Trehans surgical skills and knowledge of the upper extremities are exemplary. I wouldnt hesitate in recommending him to anyone with orthopedic issues.Six weeks of post surgical hand therapy with Emily Sloane via tele-health went extremely well and improvements have been continual.My sincerest appreciation must be be given to HSS for making the experience a comfortable one to the point of finding area lodging for my wife during my extended stay. We were treated in a kind. dignified and professional manner.Many thanks to Dr. Trehan, Geralyn and staff for guiding me through a glitch free process.I now understand why HSS holds the highest rating and why Samir Trehan is held in the highest regard.Mike Palangio

Dr. Trehans care, in all senses of the word, were of the highest order throughout my recovery from a complex wrist fracture — from his empathetic approach and the way he discussed my less than clear-cut situation, to his skill and precision in surgery and his guidance in rehabilitation. I feel fortunate to have been under his care throughout the process, and to have been able to make a full recovery.

My experience with Dr. Samir Trehan was exceptional. I found him to be kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, and also a good listener. I appreciate that he gave me realistic expectations for the outcome of my surgical procedure, and that he was very flexible when an unexpected circumstance required a change in scheduling for the surgery. I also found everyone on his staff to be patient and considerate. I have the highest regard for everyone I met at HSS.

Dr. Trehan saved my finger from a severe infection, caused by a puntured cuticle from a manicure gone wrong. Not only is he an exceptional surgeon and doctor, but his upbeat and positive personality inspires both physical and mental recovery from the trauma of illness. In addition, his staff is also marvelous, and provide wonderful and efficient care, and share his extremely positive outlook on care and recovery. Surely, the world would be a better and a healthier place, if there were more doctors and staff like Dr. Trehan and his staff in it! I am blessed that my primary doctor referred me to him!

Dr. Trehan is an exceptional surgeon. My hand was almost completely numb from a compressed ulnar nerve. Dr..Trehan had all necessary tests done and was then able to perform very successful ulnar nerve repositioning surgery on my elbow. He literally gave me back the use of my hand. His follow up care was exceptional. Not only is he a terrific surgeon but he is a top rate person who showed great concern for me during the entire healing process. As well, Dr.Trehan’s staff is excellent. Both Geralyn and Natalie are extremely professional and efficient and they seamlessly coordinated the entire surgery and follow up. They are also very nice people. I highly recommend Dr. Trehan and his excellent staff.

I was fortunate to have found Dr. Trehan when I broke my wrist a few months ago. From the minute I arrived the day of my procedure to the time I left that day same, Dr. Trehan and the HSS staff treated me with the utmost care. Dr. Trehan is not only a great surgeon, he is also very compassionate, friendly, understanding and patient. He walks you through every step of the procedure as well as the recovery. His office manager, Geralyn, is also very friendly, helpful and really does her best to answer all your questions. I would highly recommend Dr. Trehan.

I went to Dr. Trehan in 2018 to have a digital mucous cyst surgically removed from my right middle finger. I found him to be very caring, very nice, very knowledgeable, and an excellent surgeon. I had little to no pain as my finger recovered after the operation. And a year later, my finger has healed so perfectly that one would never know that it had been cut open!The whole experience was easy and practically painless from beginning to end.I absolutely highly recommend Dr. Trehan.
