I want to…read morethank, in particular, occupational therapists, Lauren, and Nikki and equally my physical therapists, Thomas and Rachel. I also want to thank everybody who answered the phone and worked at the desks in the reception area at check-in and for scheduling. There are so many that I rather not say individual names at this time in fear leaving somebody out unintentionally but I certainly want to give kudos to Oscar and Edgar who I almost always checked in with as I was checking out actually because they would schedule my following appointments at checkout. Everybody you meet there will be kind to you and of course you will show them respect!! i've been discharged because I've progressed well and my Medicare expired, but I will be going back early winter for more advanced therapy as my osteoporosis starts to reverse after my injection plan which starts within weeks. I look forward to seeing them again. Thank you HSS. I most highly recommend this world renowned HSS, Manhattan. I'm sure all the other branches are great also but I'm focusing on Manhattan because that's the only one I knowon 70th St., York Avenue. It's also right next to the actual NYP Cornell hospitals so very convenient and you can make two appointments same day! Wishing good health & blessings to all I've mentioned above plus Dr Brian Page and his ass't Brian also! Barbara T. UES

Specialty hospital for surgery on the hand/foot/bones, sports injuries and more. Parking is in a…read moreseparate building, traffic flow is drop off/pick up by the FDR highway. Elevators are slow and open different sides depending on the floor. Not every doctor has a post-appointment helper at that site - some call you back. They have MRI and x-ray machines here and top-notch staff. Inside the hallways aren't all straight - a lot of angles and turns, and not always easy to find the right room/space but the nurses are super helpful. Doctors, somewhat less so and only a few minutes before they recommended another appointment. It's very busy, though, and a lot of waiting or time between appointments since there's a lot of people seeing the doctors. They also have a number of sister sites, including one in NJ across the bridge.

Dr. Schwartzfarb is one of the best doctors I have encountered in my 81 years. I came to him two…read moreyears ago with a sudden onset of severe joint and muscle pain all over my body, a condition he accurately diagnosed (as polymyalgia rheumatica) and effectively treated with the right medication, frequent blood and urine testing, thorough physical examinations, and, perhaps above all, attentive and sympathetic listening to (and careful recording of) what I had to say during each appointment. That I am today entirely free of this condition I attribute not only to Dr. Schwartzfarb's considerable skill as a physician, but also to his qualities as a human being. He is a doctor who understands and treats his patients not as cases but as people who need help. I won't miss polymyalgia rheumatica, but I will miss the skill and kindness of Dr. Schwartzfarb.

The reason for four stars is that I've been going to her for a while, and her office is hit or miss. I've had to wait hours and I've been seen relatively quickly.
