My husband was involved in a horrible incident while visiting New Orleans. He was out with friends…read morewhen a shooting occurred not far from them and he was knocked down during the stampede of panicked people. He was thrown down and landed hard on his shoulder. The ER down there told him his shoulder was broken and he should see an orthopedist right away as he would need surgery. Our GP recommended Dr. Cleeman and the amazing receptionist,Toni, in the Manhattan Ortho Astoria office was able to fit us in a couple days later. X-rays confirmed the shoulder was not only broken but it was shattered! Dr Cleeman said it was one of the worst cases like this he had ever seen. The ball was literally flipped over from the socket joint and was hanging upside down. YIKES. Rather than replacing the entire shoulder, most likely requiring future surgeries for upkeep, Dr. Cleeman felt he could repair the bones and put Humpty Dumpty back together again. And a couple days later, he did just that! After a very successful four hour surgery and a couple hours in recovery, hubs was home on the couch! At his follow up appointment a couple weeks later, he could already move the shoulder a bit and was recovering well. Dr Cleeman removed the bandages and I couldn't believe what we saw. What I forgot to mention earlier is that my husband has a half sleeve tattoo that goes up over his shoulder. It is very special to us as it has the US and Icelandic flags intertwined with a compass representing our paths in life that led us to each other (I am from Iceland originally). We had already accepted the fact that the tattoo would have to be cut for the surgery and Dr. Cleeman told us that the incision would go directly through the center of the Icelandic flag. But when he took off those bandages, we could hardly even tell where the incision had been made! Partly due to the glue they use now rather than exterior stitches, but mostly due to the fact that Dr Cleeman is a true artist and moved the incision place over a bit. He said putting the tattoo back together took almost as long as putting the shoulder back together but he he knew it was important to us. WOW! I literally had tears in my eyes. What an incredibly awesome and unexpected surprise!! It's about three months post surgery now and my husband is recovering so well and we couldn't be happier! Everything about our experience with Manhattan Ortho has been great! Toni has always been responsive and so helpful every time we have called and needed anything. They are both such caring people and I am so thrilled to be able to recommend them to anyone looking for an Orthopedist!!

I came here a few months ago and left feeling incredibly disappointed by Dr. Duarte. As time…read moreprogressed, I became increasingly disappointed with the entire office. Medical care: I saw Dr. Duarte for foot pain. First time i saw him, he was very distracted and answered his personal phone. Then, he sent me for an MRI. When I went back the second time to review the MRI results, he was over an hour late to our appointment and said "yeah I have other patients". Upon glimpsing over the MRI, he said "you have dead bone in your big toe". He advised me to stop running, to stop wearing high heels and stop doing anything that caused me pain etc. and offered to go over shoes I wear with me to ensure comfort. When I asked for physical therapy to regain movement in my toe, he said "I don't prescribe that when the bone has atrophied like that". At 32 years old, limiting me in this way led me to get a second opinion. The second doctor identified the issue and many months later, I'm doing PT to address it. I have since regained mobility in my big toe and can enjoy sports again. Approval for an MRI: I called 4 times so someone would get back to me and left multiple voicemails when following the right IVR process. I eventually selected a different number, got to a person who said "oh we never check that voicemail". Billing: of course, several months after I saw Dr. Duarte, I find out they didn't bill my insurance correctly so I "owed" a $400+ bill. All in all, with the exception of one person who cared about the billing issue, I wouldn't recommend any aspect of this practice and definitely not the doctor who showed such indifference to his patient's problem.

EXCEPTIONAL in every single aspect. There's A LOT of people claiming to be skilled enough to help…read moreyou, yet to leave you feeling hopeless. This isn't the case with Dr Tim Canty. His academic achievements speak for themselves. What sets him apart from other physicians is his drive to actually make a difference and provide relief from pain, which many of us have been told is in our minds, or we have to just deal with because everything's been tried. That isn't always the case. Dr Canty has gone out of his way, cancelled his personal plans to accommodate my own schedule to treat a chronic condition that I thought would never go away. I am a physician and I can assure you that you're in the best hands with Dr Canty. There's so many different types of treatments that many doctors don't know about. Dr Canty & his staff are by far at the TOP of their game. Definitely 5*****

It took an entire week of me calling daily asking to make an appointment and being put on hold for so long the line would eventually hang up. Countless times the call would go straight to voicemail where I left messages to please call me back, but no one ever did. Finally, on my last attempt a week later, I let out my frustration on the woman who actually did answer the phone managed to make an appointment. I gave her all my information as a new patient and all my insurance details. I received a text confirmation regarding my appointment for a few days later. On the day of, and after a costly Uber ride into the city I walked into the doctors office feeling a sense relief to finally put this saga behind me and finally get the medical attention I so desperately needed for my pain. I filled out all the necessary pages of paperwork, gave my insurance details yet again although they already had them on file only to be asked fifteen minutes later by one of receptionists who made this appointment for me because the doctor does not work with this insurance and if I wanted to see Dr. Canty, I would have to pay $500 out of pocket. It was a feat to contain my composure and not lunge at them. Never have I ever experienced such incompetence and lack of professionalism in what is supposed to be a reputable doctors office.
