Total Orthopedics & Sports Medicine in other cities:
This facility and staff are totally amazing. I usually see Dr. Apazidiz and he’s very professional, knowledgeable and totally awesome. I was referred to see Dr. Burducea and he was very professional, informative, knowledgeable and great overall at what he does. He has great bedside manner which is always a plus. I Would definitely recommend!
These days it is rare when you go to a doctors office that you get the time, attention and understanding that you are looking for when you are sick or in pain. Dr Morrison is one of those unique physicians that gives you all three and best of all resolves your situation. Highly recommended
Dr Benatar is a true professional. He explained exactly what my injury was and how it would effect the rest of my body. Dr Benatar takes the time to answer all my questions and always has reviewed my mris and x rays before my appointment and has different options to get you back to being able to live your best life. I have always recommended him to family and friends and never been disappointed
Dr Spain has been caring for me since my car accident in 2015. He provided the best recommendation for a neuropsychologist. And, he got me back on my feet during my concussion symptoms with, PT and cognitive therapy. He still provides me with OMT, which has been so helpful for years, on my back and neck. He’s very caring, knowledgeable, and patient. Even today, after a lidocaine shot, l wasn’t feeling well and he didn’t leave until he knew l was okay. I always recommend people to him, and Total Orthopedics.
How can you charge 500 for a boot for a child? Don’t go here. This should not be allowed and you should be ashamed to charge 5 times of what the medical equipment is worth. Stealing money from injured people. I will never use your facility for my child again and believe me I will tell everyone I know to avoid it now.
Dr. Benatar is a professional. He is a very personable doctor. I feel like we’ve been life long friends. He gives it to me straight and truly cares for his patients.I have and will continue to recommend him and Total Orthopedics to friends, family and co workers.Thank you Sr. BenatarMichael Lordi
Lynn Keppel is very helpful, knowledgeable, she cares about her patients and is understanding. The only reason didnt give this a 5 is because they are never ever ever on time... Your appointment time means nothing at any the locations Ive been to. So Lynn gets a 5, but the place gets a 2 at best.
Dr Dengenis has been EXCEPTIONAL in every way . He has performed surgery on my husband twice ( Knee and Bicep ) and is presently treating me for a recent fall /injury. We would refer /recommend him to anyone looking for a Knowledgable ,Skilled , and Communicative /Caring Physician . He takes the time to REALLY explain EVERYTHING to you and presents All Options . He is above and beyond with bedside manor and follow up .We feel SO BLESSED to have found Him !!!!The Staff at at Orthopedic Sports Medicine have also been very NICE and HELPFUL.We have seen Dr Dengenis at several different office sites and all have been a GREAT EXPERIENCE !!!THANK YOU Dr Dengenis and Orthopedic Sports Medicine . We APPRECIATE YOU !!!
I went in on a friend recommendation forDr. McCormick, I’ve had problems with my shoulder and have been to other orthopedics who could never address it properly. Dr. McCormick realized the root of the problem and did different techniques that I’ve never experienced before. It was my first time seeing him and I will be back in a month so far my shoulder is feeling better, so happy to have found him!
After bringing my mother to see Dr. Ruotolo, I asked him if there was an orthopedist in the office who could look at my back that was disabling me on my visit to Long Island. I was referred to Dr. Benatar, who was just that. In addition to being very thorough, at every point it was apparent that the patient’s interest was of paramount importance. Since my pain didn’t radiate to my extremities, no aggressive measures were recommended. While Dr. Benatar thought that it would be prudent for me to get an MRI, since Dr. Benatar is only licensed in NY and that I am a New Jersey resident, he didn’t want to prescribe any tests to insure that I didn’t get stuck with the bill. However, he said that if my physician would fax him the results, he would be more than happy to read them for me.In short, if you are seeking an acclaimed orthopedist who is conservative and places the patient’s interest first, Dr. Benatar is an outstanding choice.
Dr Dengenis has gotten me through 3 major surgeries.Thoroughly explaining everything before hand and after.He and his office were there for me to answer all my needs from the start and threw all my rehabilitation.Couldn’t be happier with the treatment and respect I was given.
The whole office was amazing and caring.I am currently under dr Dengenis care and he was so knowledgeable about my injured broken foot.he made feel like I’m in good hand without any worries . I never doubt it his skills or knowledge. Best orthopedic surgeon I’ve ever seen. I would recommend anyone to Dr Dengenis. I can not say enough about all the kindness of dr Dengenis and his staffs at Total orthopedic.Thank you for caring for me.
Friendly and extremely knowledgeable staff made this visit relatively quick and I left with a lot better understanding about my arthritic issue. It’s great to know a place like that with caring professionals are there when you need them. Thanks so much to everyone on the staff.
This is by far the worst place I have ever visited. I went here for an ER visit in which i was diagnosed wrong, on top of that I was billed way over, I think if i were to go anywhere else and paid cash it would have been less than this. They charged my insurance for almost every code they can to get every penny from them. I am not a newbie when it comes to insurances. I received three bills regardless of them sending bills to my insurance. Obviously my insurance is going to only cover what ever they think is necessary. I received three large bills back to back in 3 consecutive months. I by far never seen a office that rips someone off this much. They refused to even listen to me when i called, they said they dont deal with the insurance issues and what not. This is very disheartening when you go to a medical office and expect things and get the unexpected.P.S. After getting diagnosed by their PA ( No orthopedist available), I was still in pain and had to go to another orthopedic office where I ended up seeing an orthopedist who gave me treatment the same day and I was able to work the very next day.I paid all my bills now and will never be going back to such an office that gives a bad experience like this. If I had the option to give 0 stars, then i would rather give that.
I just got surgery so I’m not sure how the outcome will be. I’m faithful that it will be great but so far I was not satisfied wt the way the doctor communicated with me. He’s always in a rush & didn’t make me feel comfortable. It doesn’t really seem like he cares but maybe I’m wrong. Maybe he just needs to communicate better with patients & have more patience. I’m not the type to ever complaint btw; I’m just very honest. Thank you
Waited an hour and 15 minutes after appointment time…asked how much longer was told there cleaning a room for me…15 more minutes go by and nothingI ask if it’s almost ready and the manager,very unfriendly, comes out and says there’s an emergency and I won’t be seen for at least an hourAlso did nothing to try and help me I ended up leaving without seeing a doctor..was told the next appointment isn’t for a week and a half
Excellent!!Dr Dengenis is a knowledgeable and skillful as well as being personable and caring.The office staff and surgery booking staff are friendly, patient, helpful and accommodating.This crew is a win win choice for your orthopedic needs.I highly recommend this medical team.
I can honestly say Dr.Dengenis is an amazing, down to earth, caring and knowledgeable doctor. Never had a bad experience yet. I just got surgery done on my knee and it is the first surgery in my life that I never suffered from pain afterwards. He always takes the time to listen to his patients and he keeps it straight up with you. He doesnt try to sell his services, he tells you what you can and cant do and what will just be wrong your time and money. I love that about him. The staff is amazing and his offices are clean. There is so much more I can say but Ill stop here. In all, it will be worth your time and money seeing him.
My first visit to the Syosset location was very pleasant. I was called in a short time after my scheduled appointment. The doctor saw me and explained how the X-rays and the healing process.The follow up visit didn’t go as well. I arrived early in case I needed to fill out any paperwork. After an hour and a half of being here I was brought into a room and taken for X-rays. After returning to the room to see the doctor I gave up and left.I don’t understand the point of scheduling an appointment if you arrive and have to wait over an hour and still not be seen.
Loved everything about the office from check in (reception desk was quick and efficient) Dr. Spain was knowledge and explained the process of checking my injury with great detail then the course of action in terms that I understood and was comfortable with. Office waiting room, restrooms, X-ray room and patient rooms were all super clean too! Highly recommended.
Great experience in time of need. The staff is extremely helpful and efficient. Dr.Dengenis was extremely knowledgeable in explaining my situation and possible outcome. They set up my Mri, Pt and prescriptions all in 1 visit.. plus a follow up call to see if i had any concerns or questions.
I was operated 21/2weeks ago. This was my 2nd knee replacement in 4 months. Dr. Richard McCormack performed both of them. The performance of this doctor is excellent. Of course there may be out of pocket expenses, according to what your insurance accepts. This is slways the patients responsibility. The hospital i choose was Northwell Health in Syosset on jericho. What a class act this place is! Patient care is exceptional, I couldnt ask for anything better then this. Everyone in this place who ever it is sre professional to every detaiil of your stay. I say thank you, for a job well done.
This was my first time at this doctors office. When I first walked in it was crowded, but the automated check in was easy to navigate. They were very efficient, organized and handled the Covid pandemic thoroughly. I saw Maria Trotta, RPA and she was amazing!!! I absolutely adore her. I was comfortable, she was very thorough with her examination and explained everything clearly in a way my simple- non doctor mind could understand. I highly recommend her and this doctors office.
Dr. Morrison and associate Amy are what every health care provider should be...Cordial, inviting and genuinely concerned for the patients well being. Her examination of my hand was comprehensive and thorough. And even though I’m in the medical field, she explained everything in simple but precise detail. She did not rush the examination and offered several scenarios as to what might be going on in my hand and offered several possible solutions. At no time did I feel like just another patient. She was focused on me and it was evident her goal was to rectify my condition.It would be my pleasure to recommend Dr. Morrison and her staff (the front desk personnel were incredible friendly and helpful) for any orthopedic needs you might have.Leonor L.
I recently had wrist surgery performed by Dr Morrison and knee surgery by Dr McCormack a few years ago. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. I had other injuries were they advised against surgery. I always took their advice with no remorse. They are professional and honest. Their staff is great.
Dr. Spain is phenomenal and the the staff at Total Orthopedics is amazing. They’re very polite, courteous, patient and helpful. Dr. Spain takes his time with his patients and listens to what is going on with your body pain and focuses on how to get you back to good health. He has many ways to adjust you and fix the problem that you have. He will not rush anything until he feels you are fully recovered and that’s what is great. Dr Spain looks for his patients well being all around from Day 1.
As a pain doctor myself I clearly would choose who I go to for my care with diligence and insight into the nuances of the difference between competence and exceptional. Dr P is EXCEPTIONAL!!! The office workflow was highly professional and efficient. I had my procedure done without sedation and I have had immunizations that hurt more than my procedure. If you are in LI I highly recommend Dr. P. One of the best experiences as a patient that I have ever had.
I was referred to Total Orthopedics by CityMd Urgent Care. This is a walk-in, no need for the initial appointment. The building is beautiful. Large, all around parking lot. Inside is modern and very clean. From the first person I encountered to assist me, and every representative since then, whether in person or on the phone, has taken care of my needs. It seems to me each representatives goal, is to take care of the concern and needs of the patient they are speaking with. I have not been pushed aside, ignored or felt like my concerns matter nothing to them. The doctor assigned to my case has been forthright from the beginning. Explaining with clarity my situation and the outcome of my choices. Because this is an on-the-job injury and still waiting for approval, I have yet to have the surgery needed. I am looking forward to sending a review after the surgery.
I was very happy with my visit and talking to Dr McCormick. I was speaking to the nurse when I left and I told her how comfortable he made me feel and thats what I like when I go see a doctor . Being comfortable with medical professional is very important to me and Im able to open up until him or her whats wrong and how it can be fixed. Thank you again Dr McCormick I will be back to see you soon.
Total Orthopedics is great!! It is a state of the art facility, including practicing Covid safety and social distancing. The staff at the front desk is very professional, courteous, and friendly. I did not see any of the doctors there, instead I saw Lynne, the PA. She was outstanding!! She was very knowledgeable, caring, personable and funny. She really knows her stuff!! I would recommend Total Orthopedics, and especially Lynne, to anyone who needs an orthopedist!!!
Total Orthopedics has exceeded my expectations. Everyone is so nice and caring, and most importantly they got me on the road to recovery super fast. Dr. Dengenis made me feel very comfortable and safe. He’s a super nice guy with great energy plus an incredible doctor!
I saw Dr. Elizabeth Morrison. She was attentive, and informative. I had previously gone to Orlin and Cohen. Unsatisfied, I decided to try Total Orthropedics. My experience was night and day! O&C never took time with me, I felt Iike they didn’t care, just get through their day. I went for an issue with my hand. Not once in three visits did the doctor actually examine my hand. Got an X-ray, then a cortisone shot, barely spoke to me at all, and then felt rushed out. My problem was never resolved. Dr. Morrison explained my injury to me, gave me a THOROUGH exam,and did additional testing after the X-ray. I’m annoyed I wasted my time with O&C, but very happy I found Total Orthropedics and Sports Medicine.
Dr. Ruatolo was fantastic.I experienced virtually no pain or real bad discomfort from the surgery on my right shoulder. After surgery treatment was very caring and concerned for how the healing process was progressing.Dr Ruatolo was friendly and showed real concerns over any comments I made.
I went to see Dr. Drazic for numbness in my hands. The wait time was a bit long but the Dr. was very thorough and I appreciated him explaining all the possible causes and next steps for diagnostics with me. He has a good bedside manner and was courteous, which is a welcome change from some other specialists I’ve been to, who are often arrogant and brusque. I referred my husband to Total Ortho for his shoulder, and my own physician even goes here.
Dr Benatar is the best Orthopedic Doctor. Hes compassionate and listens to what I say about my situation. Thank God my friend recommended me to him.I Had the worst Orthopedic from Orlin and Cohen put me back to work with a meniscus tear and never had and MRI done on me and would not listen to me at all. . So Im grateful I have Dr Benatar Hes awesome!!!
After a MRI of my cervical spine showed severe stenosis, I called Toral Orthopedics to be evaluate for further treatment. The stenosis is causing severe, unrelenting headaches and now tingling down my arm. They were able to give me an appointment with Dr Benatar the very next day !! After my evaluation with Dr Benatar, and him explaining how compressed my spine is, they have now given me an appointment with a great spinal surgeon in 1 week !I chose Total Orthopedics as I have prior experience with another one of their physicians, Dr Richard McCormick, who performed my left hip replacement a few years ago and the care I received was exemplary!
I have been receiving treatment since 2018 from different specialist at several of their location. The one on Eileen Way is their newest and my favorite. There is barely any wait time and they allow you to fill the usual mountain of forms online, which is very convenient. My most current interaction has been with Dr. Kechejian (Dr. K). He’s an authority on the Pain Management field, but also has excellent bedside manners, he’s upbeat, energetic, and fun. He let’s you know what he’s doing or about to do every step of the way. Also, everyone on staff is super professional but genuinely nice people.
I’ve been seeing Dr David Benatar off and on for a few years. He takes the time to explain things and doesn’t rush you out like some other doctors do. He is thorough, caring and wants to do what’s best for his patients. I would highly recommend him. Total Orthopedic’s staff is also great to work with. They are very efficient.
Avoid at all costs! Had an appointment for 12PM, checked in at 11:50AM.... We are now walking out at 1:47PM after nearly 2 hours! Receptionist said ‘15 Minutes’ after we had waited already 90 minutes. When we asked how much longer they then said they weren’t sure and were rude. Value your time by going somewhere else because they sure as hell don’t :)
I have been coming to Total Orthopedics for over a year now and have a fantastic experience every visit. The office is clean and staff is friendly and accommodating. Dr. Benatar is very knowledgeable and is great at what he does. I would highly recommend this practice for the level of care they provide.
If I could give Dr.Avanesov a million star review, I certainly would!!! My anterior cervical discectomy and fusion surgery took place on February 9th this year, and I am extremely grateful to him and his team for the successful outcome of the surgery and improving the quality of my life. They are very professional, exact, courteous and caring. Thank you, Dr. Avanesov!
My visit at Total Orthopedics was exceptional! The facility was clean and as I entered it was being sanitized for patient safety. The staff was very professional and pleasant and my wait was very short. I also loved the state of the art equipment how efficiently the Dr. had with explaining my prognosis.
Service was at top notch. All the staff members took great care of me. I am very grateful to Dr David Bentar, he’s very knowledgable doctor. He figured out all my issues very swiftly and made action plan according to my situation. I would highly recommend doctor and staff.
Absolutely amazing surgeon and person from start to finish, pre to post surgery. Highly recommend doesn’t even begin to describe it. After tearing my ACL and meniscus and having surgery with Dr. Ruotolo, i am back on my feet pain free with full function just a couple months post surgery as if it never happened. You couldn’t ask for any more from your surgeon.
I was recommended by a friend and able to schedule and appointment with the Orthopedic Urgent Care immediately. We received prompt and wonderful, caring treatment for my daughter...the Doctor we saw was very knowledgeable about athletes, asked all the right questions during diagnosis. He provided easy to understand results and post-visit instructions. I highly recommend Total Orthopedics & Sports Medicine Urgent Care.
Doctors may be great but I will never know. This review is for the reception I received when I walked in on March 6, 2020 11 am, as I was told to do by my referring doctor. Receptionist may have been having a bad moment, Im not sure but she was very snippy and rude. I figure I would just come back another day. Due to COVID another day turned to months. I called today to make an appointment and whoever answered at the call center was again extremely rude. In all fairness I called in between and the person who answered was kind and professional so its not all of the staff but this 1 star review goes to those that made me feel as if I was a bother. Ill go elsewhere.
Ive been coming to this office location since 12/2019 for back treatment. I called yesterday to informed the doctor of more intense pain Im having. I was told by staff they would contact a location where I had a MRI done. Later yesterday afternoon I received a call from this location staff given me a doctor appointment today for 12:30 pm. I was excited because I have been experiencing extreme pain and had the hope of them helping me. I arrived on time for my visit signed in and was told to have a seat. A young lady ask me do I have the film from the MRI and i said no and wasnt told in the conversation I needed to obtain them. About 15 minutes later I was told by the person who actually called me for the appointment, that I couldnt be seen by a doctor until I retrieve the disc. I made it clear to her it was never mentioned that it was my responsibility. I asked can I see any doctor for the pain Im experiencing being that Im here, she stated no not without the disc. My house is approximately 24 round trip Im not around the corner from the facility. I made them aware of this and still was denied to seeing a doctor even though I was in pain and a appt was made by them. Totally disgusted with this staff, I will keep this review updated and will get the names of every one involved.
Dr. R Champ Dengenis is the Consummate professional. I fell during the first snowstorm of the year here on the Island and I broke my right wrist. Although, I have an orthopedic doctor I went with Dr. Dengenis who was the on call surgical orthopedic doctor at St. Joseph’s and he didn’t disappoint. He has great energy about himself and a very cool Aura as well. Is his name really Dr. Rhyne Champ Dengenis? I believe it is!Dr. R. C. Dengenis was the lucky surgeon who was tasked with putting my “tiny wrist” back together and he didn’t disappoint. I had the pleasure of meeting the doctor and he introduced his team prior to my surgery, what a great group of guys. I knew I was in extremely competent hands and I gladly fell out after spending 16 hours in the Emergency Room at Saint Joe’s Catholic Hospital.The team that was assembled was absolutely amazing. To see first hand all these medical professionals (a/k/a/ Doctor’s) working in conjunction with Doctor R. C. Dengenis to put my wrist back together was really quite an experience. Can you tell I have never broken a bone before?I saw Doctor R.C. Dengenis a few days ago in Syosset when he removed my splint/soft cast. I am rehabbing my wrist for now with the instructions provided by Dr. Dengenis! I am well on the road to recovery and I am hoping to never need the good doctor Dengenis again but if I do I will not hesitate to call him.If you are looking for an extremely competent Orthopedic Surgeon on the Island, Doctor R. Champ Dengenis is definitely your man! My wrist feels amazing and I will be forever grateful. Thank you to the amazing Doctor and his extremely competent surgical team for the new hardware holding my wrist together. I am forever grateful for all your hard work!Sincerely,laurafromli
I am so grateful that Dr. Stuart Horowitz recommended me to Dr. Spain! Dr. Spain was very thorough and attentive to my concerns. He took time to explain his findings and what my journey of healing would encompass. He reminded me of how Doctors used to be. It is so hard to find good Doctors these days! Thank you God for letting me find one!
Ive had many injuries and have gone to multiple doctors for my issues. NONE OF THEM have been as helpful and informative as Dr. Dengenis. Im upset I didnt find him earlier, but better late than never. If you go to him you will not regret it! He truly cares about his patients
Very professional, kind, and caring. I went to 2 other local doctors that couldn’t figure me out. My co-workers suggested Total Ortho, and I now travel 30 minutes to go here. They took care of me, & I feel much better. Connected physical therapists better than 2 of my local P/Ts as well.
Dr Leven is a great surgeon. I underwent 2 major spine surgeries and I thank my lucky stars he was my surgeon. Despite my very long road to recovery, he’s always very patient and kind. I would highly recommend him if you are looking for a highly skilled spine surgeon with impeccable bedside manners. He sure knows his stuff very well because he was a physical therapist before he went into medicine.
I can not even begin to explain how disappointing and upsetting my experience with Total Orthopedics has been. I make an appointment, wait an hour to be seen only to be told by the Dr that he isnt a spine Dr and although from my Xray it shows that there is a problem he wasnt going to order an MRI. He then refers me to their clinic at NUMC- suggests I should say because the receptionist only offered me a phone number. Then when I call to make the appointment at the clinic, the phone number I got was wrong btw, they have no availability until February and you do need a referral. So this Dr who lectured me on not waiting and that the longer I wait to deal with my issues the worser recommends a clinic with no availability for 3 months. Mind you I have numbness and pain and loss of balance. But thats the care you get a Total Orthopedics if you have Medicaid I guess. I only wanted some help and imaging and all I got was- Yup theres something wrong and Nope we dont care.
Incredibly friendly staffyou have to sign in at a kiosk but when you think no one is going to help you they are already looking for you and guiding you through your visiti saw they were busy with lots of people waiting but i saw service was fast and i was taken in fastthey completed my clinical history and had xrays of both knees in no time.Maria Trotta P.A. was wonderful. she took care of me and explained my options. love her demeanor and great smile it shows she cares and i love nice people like her.got treatment and i feel very good. going back next week for more treatment and i definetely recommend this practice
Dr. Dengenis is amazing. So helpful and honestly cares. He takes the time to explain things as simple as possible without overwhelming you. At the end of your visit you will understand exactly what is going on and why. He is extremely thorough with my son and takes every precaution. Very happy with Total Otho Team so far!
My experience began with some hope for relief and turned into an unprofessional, and quite frankly, unethical ordeal. I had an xray of my ankle and knee-both xrays came back fine. I was sent for an MRI for my ankle and put in a boot, of which only made things worse. I went for my MRI and the following evening was called by a receptionist. I was told my injury could not be treated in their office and I would need to see an ankle specialist. When I asked to speak to the doctor, what my MRI read, and why I needed to see an ankle specialist, I was told I should call the specialist because I had too many questions that could not be answered. Thank God my mother is in healthcare-she advised I call back and ask for a phone call from the doctor when available. The next receptionist told me either she or the doctor would call me back. The receptionist called me back and told me my diagnosis-tendonitis. I have since seen another orthopedist and the tendonitis diagnosis was incorrect. I have yet to hear from a doctor at Total Orthos. I wish I could give a raving review.
Dr. DENGENIS is wonderful. He listens and hears what you are saying. He explains in detail and takes time with his patients. My husband and I both are under his care. I have recommended so many people to him. He is smart, and has helped me so much with the severe pain I was having with my left knee. My husband adores him. He is our favorite doctor, so caring. When you leave your visit, all questions have been answered, we are very grateful.
Dr. Ruotolo continue to provided complete medical care after my shoulder surgery. The surgery was a complete success and the follow up visits provided me with an accurate time frame as to partial and complete recovery. In closing, Dr. Ruotolo and Staff provided complete professional medical care. A++
I had a great consult with DR Rotulo regarding my right shoulder. He and his staff in Syosset were 5 star for sure. They helped me with my check in and made me feel confortable. The consult gave me relief from my shoulder pain. He set me on my way for PT. Thank you guys!
Dr. Kechejian is great. I have seen him twice for pain injections in my lower back. I’ve had injections previously and they never really worked well. I used him for the last 2 and the results were extraordinary. He used a different angle with the injections and it made a world of difference. My pain is almost non-existent.His bedside manner is fantastic. Before the injection he sits with you and explains the whole procedure. During the procedure he talks you thru each step. And then at the end he shows you the images of the procedure.I highly recommend Dr. K.
I was concerned about bring my daughter to her appointment about during COVID-19 but my concerns were put to rest. Upon arrival, your temperature and sanitizer are available. The option to either sit outside or stay inside in the designated seats were given to us. Doctor Trepeta was wonderful. He has a calling to work with children. He truly cares about them getting better and staying better.
The office is neat, clean and beautiful. Dr. Lerman is always efficient and timely. I love all the staff at total orthopedics, they are helpful, knowledgeable and kind. I recently had spinal surgery and Dr. Lerman made me feel at ease and comfortable. He told me what would be done step by step, how long it would take and even called my husband personally to let him know when I was out of surgery. Dr. Lerman is definitely aces and I would recommend him to EVERYONE.
I chose this location because they had the most reviews out of all other Ortho clinics on google. Everything was amazing, I walked in without an appointment and was seen in probably 15 minutes even though the place was filled with patients. My follow up appointment was right on time, didn’t have to wait at all for anything. I live about 35 minutes away from the closest Total Ortho but it is definitely worth the drive. Everything is treated professionally, they all have outstanding knowledge and It is definitely worth the drive from however far away you are.
I have been a patient of total orthopedics since about January 2018. I was in my darkest hours after completely rupturing my ACL while in the police academy. I was scared my new career had ended before it even began. I met Dr. Dengenis and my life was forever changed. I have never met a Doctor so patient and caring that was specific to my individual needs. Because of this I was successful in my career I could never thank him and his staff and total ortho enough. I am a forever patient!
I’ve been to this practice three times and the wait is ridiculous. First two times was 45 mins. I’m now still waiting to see Dr. Morrison and it’s been an hour and I’m told there are three people ahead of me. And they only told me this because I complained.Plus, the last time I came they asked me to get blood works done before the visit. When I finally got to speak with the doctor, they realized they never received my blood works. They couldn’t get it in time for my visit and said they would call me. They never called. And consultation with the doctor was barely helpful. I’m leaving this place now and never coming back. Do NOT use this practice!!
These guys are amazing. Its the only medical facility that has basically no wait time. A 3:00 appointment means you will be seen at 3:00. Dr. McCormack is a top notch surgeon. 6 weeks after 2 total knee replacements i am walking freely, climbing steps, driving..even plating light golf.If you need any type of Orthopedic work done, there is no better place than Total Orthopedic.
Every one from the staff to each of the doctors who have treated be from Dr.Benatar whose personality put me at ease. He answered all my questions . And was knowledgeable and kind! Dr.Kechejian is a miracle worker. He is the only pain doctor who helped my pain. He anticipates your needs and prescribes a plan to treat your pain! Never disappoints! Dr. Rutolo treated my tibia fracture. He was knowledgeable and caring. He knows his stuff! He knew what was needed to heal my knee and it work in record time! What wonderful group of skilled professionals. I am so grateful I found them.Sincerely,JoAnn Flynn
I had a serious shoulder issue recently and went to see the team at Total Orthopedics. Dr. Ruotolo and his staff we all over it. From the initial MRI to my one on one consultation, they were 100% professional and gave me expert advice on my sports related injury. Now Im on the road to recovery and extremely confident they made the right diagnosis.The new Syosset facility is amazing. Modern, clean and very efficient. I highly recommend these guys for whatever ails you.
I ruptured my right achilles and had someone drive me to Total. The staff was very helpful and I was seen in under 20 minutes of arrival. After an xray and a mri confirmed that I had ruptured it, I spoke with Dr. Dengenis, and to my surprise, was on the operating table just 2 hours after speaking with him. Dr. Dengenis was amazing and helped lighten the mood. I highly recommend Total Orthopedics and Sports Medicine
Went in for knee pain I was having. Dr. looked at my MRI results and gave me 4 recommendations, 1 of which being shots that would absolutely not be approved by my insurance. Just found out they may have been approved if I did some things (PT, medicine, shots, etc.) that my insurance requires. Office didnt even submit them for approval and now Im having trouble getting the out of pocket expenses approved by my FSA. Completely unprofessional office, authorization and billing practices.Also, they have to ask the Dr. if you can still be seen if your 15 min. past your apt time but patients wait 45-60 min. with no knowledge the office is running so behind.
After spending 4 days in the hospital with an injury to a previous surgical area, I was advised by this groups PA in the hospital to make an appt once out, the day I got out I called made an appt with 1 of the 2 surgeons who did my surgery, the soonest they had was a location I have never been to but I was willing to go just to get seen. I showed up on the date and time of my appt amd was refused to been seen, there scheduler made an error and never put me in, even though I showed them on my phone when I called and got the appt. The front desk person Fran and office Manager Vanessa refused to help me, zero help. zero appologies, I sat waiting at the desk while Fran walked to complain to each coworker and point as I stood there in pain. zero compassion. As a medic I have recommended this office to many serious Trauma patients, but no more, they have gotten to big that they dont care and just laugh at a patient with a serious injury. I will find another group that takes time to care about there patients. As I will recommend to all of my patients. I may be only 1 patient that they dont care about, but I will make sure all of my patients know who to stay away from.
Dr. Trepeta was great! After reading some of the reviews online I was a bit skeptical, but after looking closer, reading between the lines and meeting Dr. Trepeta in person, I was very happy I chose to bring my son to him for evaluation. He was very warm and patient, spent time explaining the condition and answering all of my questions. Went out of his way to print out some additional information and (unlike most who send you home with “a book” of Wikipedia printouts) actually went through and highlighted the important parts of his document!I would absolutely recommend seeing Dr. Trepeta for your orthopedic needs! And try to read the reviews carefully, as most negative ones were about the condition of the office (at a random location) and issues with paperwork/front desk - not a direct representation of the physician himself. Actually his Syosset office is a brand new facility, beautifully designed and staffed by very nice personnel!Great overall experience!
Terrible. They charged my insurance close to 1000K for a walk in, where a PA (not a doctor) looked at my wrist without any X-rays and gave a 5 min conclusion. Plus today i received a bill for the copay which i paid at the office, so now i have to dig out the statements and deal with them further. Never ever again. This should be your last resort.
Great offices prompt care. Started in deerpark ave location and had seen P.A. Converso. She was great and was professional. Gave me a great work up. Then followed up with Dr.Dengenis at the Syosset location. He was a great examination. He basically reaffirmed everything P.A. Converso said but was able to elaborate after a series of xrays. Definitely recommending this practice to friends and family.
Excellent service! They take you right as you walk in. No waiting. Everyone is very nice and helpful. The Dr. Morrison was very kind and professional. Checked everything. Super efficient. The facilities are state of the art, clean and new. Overall a great experience.
By some incredible stroke of luck, after my accident last year I was rushed to the hospital and Dr. Gallos was assigned as my emergency surgeon to take the challenge of repairing my shattered olecranon. After two surgical procedures later, and over year of recovery, miraculously I have regained use of my arm again. I couldn’t be more thankful and appreciative of the care I have received.Additionally, the Syosset Total Orthopedic’s office staff (from Billing to Radiology), all have been such a pleasure to deal with.I highly recommend anyone who needs orthopedic assistance.
Had a 6 oclock appointment showed up at 540 was told that they were running 30 minutes behind schedule or less. Waited till 705 then called in to the room. 730 still no doctor. Walked out at 730 got my co pay back never was apologized to. Told me they have no control over appointments
Dr. McCormack along with every other doctor and staff member are truly sympathetic to what ails you. I had knee surgery by Dr McCormack 3 yrs ago, a very successful surgery, and am back with a different issue.I would recommend this group to everybody and anybody that needs orthopedic evaluation and treatment.Absolutely primo!!
I’ve been going to Total orthopedics & Sports medicine for over three years. I’ve been seeing Dr. Burducea the pain management doctor there he’s been treating me for my back, neck and the severe numbness I get in my hands and my feet. I been receiving all different type of injections that help minimize the pain and pain medication. Dr Burducea is an amazing doctor that’s caring and patient if it wasn’t for him I won’t be having a good quality a life.
From the minute I entered the Syosset office in excruciating pain... to the mri people in Massapequa... I have been thrilled at the level of care and response to my needs. Everyone has been kind and compassionate... I am now hoping the medical evaluations and doctors plan will be as kind and thorough.
The team Total orthopedics and sports was knowledgeable and courteous Doctor Owings was professional And knowledgeable. He gave me multiple options for my diagnosis which was for my left knee. I think the team and turn orthopedics and sports together me in-and-out of my appointment
I went yesterday with my 9 year old daughter because she has flat feet and my daughter needs a referral and the person who attended me in front is very unpleasant, there was another blonde with short hair just like the other unpleasant, I dont know why they work there if I dont he likes his job ...
Exceptional assistance with unexpected injury. Thorough explanation of x-ray, possible scenario, recommended testing, follow up appointment. Very personable, friendly, knowledgeable and alleviated our anxiety about situation. Highly recommend Maria Trotta and Total Ortho!!

2022-02-17Ive been to Dr Montero many times over many years. He can spot your issue very quickly. Ive had occasional golf elbow over the years and it always feels better a day or two after visit. Hes a very personable man and listens to what you say. I appreciate a doctor that does that.

2022-02-18Dr. Spain is a true professional! He was empathetic, kind, patient and explained everything that was going on with my conditions as he calmly went over my X-rays and medical options and future. He exhibited the perfect bedside mannerment as a doctor and I left a very satisfied and pleased patient. I would definitely recommend Dr. Spain, only him.

2022-02-17I see Dr. Spain for arthritis in my knees. He and the staff are very nice and friendly. Sometimes things feel slightly rushed but I wouldnt say its bad. But there have been times where its packed and hard to get a close parking spot (stinks when it hurts to walk). Appointment times are a bit limited as well - I often have to leave work early to get an appointment around 3:30 or 3:45 but I work until 4:30. I like Dr. Spain a lot though - very knowledgeable and patient when I ask questions.

2022-05-19When I arrived, I was told that my 2:15 appointment would be delayed an hour. After an hour and 10 minutes, I was called into an exam room to provide some info for an office attendant. She entered the information and told me an x-ray tech would be in to take me for leg x-rays. After another 20 minute wait, the x-ray tech led me to another room for the x rays. After the x rays I was sent back to the initial examination room. After another 15 minute wait, Doctor Drazic finally came in. He was wonderful. He took his time to explain everything to me and did not rush me when I had numerous questions. He was very personable. I left feeling much better about my injury. Unfortunately, the unusually long tempered my positive feeling for my first visit to this practice.

2022-04-29Dr. Murphy has been treating me since December 2021 when I fell and broke my humerus bone. It’s been a long arduous healing process. His skill and knowledge is as comforting as his personality. He is kind, caring and compassionate. He never seems to be in a rush and he answers all my questions thoroughly. I would highly recommend his care to anyone!

2022-06-10During my most recent visit I was seen by Dr. Jeyamohan. I was also seen by him previously. He takes his time answering all questions and is very thorough. He is very honest in telling you what he knows, and what he doesn’t know if you ask questions that are outside of his medical field. He is compassionate and empathetic and I liked him right from the beginning. I will be seeing him again after I get the results of the test he ordered. He’s also a very nice guy. I can’t say enough good things about him.

2022-07-07I had a pleasant experience with Dr. Ruotolo. I’m doing well with the series of gel injections administered to my knee. He was very professional in his approach and after examination told me I didn’t need a knee replacement yet and recommended I give gel shots a try. He was correct in his assessment. I will be going back to him in the future when needed.

2022-02-15Overall the office is very nice and clean. Dr. Murphy is great. Just had a bad experience with the ladies at the front desk. Dropped off paperwork to be filled out and they said it takes 7-10 business days. Ok no problem. I am now going on my 13th day and I am still waiting for the papers. Spoke with an assistant named Ariana P. who was very rude and sarcastic with me when I was telling her it’s been more then 10 days and we need to provide the papers to work.
