If ur looking for someone in Brooklyn, the Maimonides bone and joint center is very good. Specifically Dr Mara karamitopolous.

I have used Dr. Simon (beth isreal) and Dr. Otsuka (joint d)
both are great but long wait.

In Joint Disease, there's Dr. Feldman, who's excellent but doesn't take insurance. Dr. Lehman is okay, but also no insurance. Dr. Chu and Dr. Chung are also okay and I think they take insurance. I do not recommend Dr. Frances.

I once used a Dr. Ulan somewhere who was good. And Dr. Hyman is excellent. So is Dr. David Scher.

I have had very good experience with Dr John Paul Deimario at the Cohen clinic in LIJ.

We had a great experience with Dr. Otsuka, still seeing him--after a major injury--son fractured through 2 growth plates. I didn't realize you needed major help to get an appointment there...
I know quite a few people who just called and got appointments--but not for injuries--to see him as the director of the neuromuscular clinic (cerebral palsy, and major hip replacements surgeries.)

We went to our pediatrician first--even though we knew our son needed x-rays, and our pediatrician called Dr. Otsuka's office for us.
But seriously, only good things to say.

I didnt c anything good with Dr Karamatopolis. She diagnosed my daughters limping to b a muscle issue and she'll outgrown it. Ended up going for a second opinion and she has a hip dislocation and needs major surgery. And dont ask why Dr Diamond couldnt find the problem at regulate well visits when they do the foot excersizes!!
