I had an excellent experience at Mehling Orthopedics. The entire staff was welcoming, professional, and attentive from the moment I arrived. The doctor took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all of my questions, and made me feel comfortable throughout the visit. The office was clean, organized, and appointments ran on time. I truly appreciate the high level of care and would highly recommend Mehling Orthopedics to anyone looking for outstanding orthopedic treatment. Thank you for such a great experience! read more

Terrible doctor. Doesn't care about his patients at all. Never checked on the patient post surgery, sent his pa every time. Worked on elderly man who broke both legs, after 6 weeks of pt all the hardware was loose, and there was an infection to the bone. Needed to have the surgery repeated by a doctor in Cornell who said this whole case was handled wrong. save yourself and see anyone else! read more

We had a terrible experience with Dr. Mehling. He operated on my partner's broken humerus in 2022, and the entire experience was horrendous. Dr. Mehling mentioned he went with an unconventional procedure because the hospital did not have the right apparatus on hand. After the surgery, it was very hard to get hold of him, and after having consulted with (several) other surgeons after, we learned that everything Dr. Mehling said and did - from the choice of procedure to post-op care to recovery timelines, were incorrect and resulted in a potentially dangerous situation with the rod in my partner's humerus starting to come out. My partner ended up having to get surgically operated upon again, and the two surgeries in a narrow window resulted in post-op complications. Billing was messy as well, and his office did not make it easy for us in any way. If you can, seek another surgeon for your own safety. read more

I can not begin to describe how horrific the office staff and Dr's are. I brought my 3 year old daughter there and we waited 4 hours for a scheduled appointment. Karen said and I quote " if you don't like it , LEAVE " She said this is the norm at any Dr office to. I am horrified to say the least by this treatment. read more

LESS ZERO STARS This place is ridiculous, they put my son into collections because they sent him a bill for over $200,000 after which my health insurance covered over $150,000 in medical bills. They have overbilled every aspect of his hospitalization. This is FRAUD, $350,000 for a broken ankle, WTF??? My son was rushed to the hospital because of a broken ankle, all because the surgeon was the on call orthopedic, HE IS OUT OF MY INSURANCE NETWORK. Why in the hell would you have providers on call that are out of network working in the hospitals. This is so obsurd. This is what is wrong with these damn providers charging SO MUCH for services. He is 25l4 years old, unemployed and you want him to pay an additional $200,000 smfh..... These doctors suck, I am in the medical field and they are so UNPROFESSIONAL. Couldn't even answer my questions and got pissed because I asked alot of them. Afterall this is my son and his health so I am making sure its a positive outcome. I literally fought with this office over this bill and now I am calling the fraud department to have them inquire why this damn provider is charging so much for services they didn't even do. 75 pills for percocet/85 shots of morphine. Are you frigging kidding me? He refused half of those injections and pills. They just wanted to keep popping him with drugs. Now wonder people are addicted to this crap. I AM DONE WITH THIS PLACE. NOW I AM TAKING STEPS TO REPORT THEM FOR OVERCHARGING AND LYING TO CHARGE EXPENSES THAY WERE NEVER GIVEN!!!! read more

Ok there are a number of negative review but if you keep in mind that overall surgeons are not known to have a warm an fuzzy bedside manner. You want a surgeon to be skilled in the operating room to fix whatever is broken. To be professional and to followup to make sure there are no complications. So far my son has gotten the care needed. My dealing with his office staff has been limited to Sussana Vega. Sussana very efficiently answered my questions. She let us know beforehand about their xrays machine being broken & sent us scripts so we could get the xrays done elsewhere beforehand. So my review of the office staff is limited to her good service. She saved us time. My son's reaction to the rest of the service staff was luke warm. Basically nothing special and other patients seemed not to thrilled with how long they were waiting. Frankly if you come prepared, fill out paperwork ahead of time, have your information all ready things run smoother. read more

Grossly incompetent, solely due to the fact of the gross incompetence of the doctors and and the administrative staff my younger sister had her foot surgery delayed and numerous times. In addition to that they're building staff constantly hounded us not only to pay money but just overall bother us in general. Overall it just a horrible experience in general if I could go back in time and change the hospital which we first entered I would have never gone to this Hospital / surgeon for my sister to have the surgery. Working with this doctor has seriously questioned my faith in the American Healthcare System. read more

Beyond rude and lazy staff. You will be amazed each and every time you speak with them that they are able to hold jobs. The office is dirty and shabby. The wait time to see a dr is UNBELIEVABLE. You will wait hours. Not one time but every time. I never walked out of there in less than 2hours. Twice I had 8am appointments and saw my dr show up at 8:30 and then waited hours to see him bc there were 10 people also waiting for an 8am appointment. They contract with a mobile x-ray company to do the films. This guy is so concerned that you will be paying him that very moment he can't concentrate on anything else. He greets you by telling you there is a copay and before you can sit down or tell him what needs to be x-rayed, he repeats himself about the copay. Then he fidgets until you pay him. Want a copy of those x-rays? Guess what? That will be another $10 PER xray and you can't get them through email. You have to send a check in the mail first (of course) and then they will mail you a copy. That is ridiculous when my emergency vet just sent my regular vet and me xrays in less than 10 minutes over email. It is inexcusable and greedy. In every way this practice is inconvenient and inconsiderate. I would never recommend them to anyone. read more

My experience with my mother and this practice is similar to others. My then 88 year old mother broke her ankle in 2016 and Dr. Brian Mehling was the orthopedic surgeon on duty at the hospital she was brought to (Hackensack) so luck of the draw. Over the recovery period, he was unavailable to contact most times, didn't return calls when there were questions, and when he finally showed up for an appointment, was rude when we questioned him on why she needed another operation to have a pin taken out (never heard of that but later heard it is not uncommon). Moving forward, the ankle stayed swollen and painful. She went back a few times, usually saw only a PA who said there isn't much that can be done. Christmas 2017, we end up at the emergency room at Valley Hospital in Ridgewood as she could no longer walk. Long and short is after x-rays, cat scans, they suggest she goes back to the original surgeon. I say no but my mother being the non-confrontational one says OK. January, calls lead to a February visit and just a PA that says you need an x-ray. She gets and x-ray, makes an appointment, goes back, they say oh, nothing, you need a cat scan, go to Hackensack Hospital and get one. She calls for results, oh we can't tell you over the phone, you need an appointment to see the doctor. This past Monday I go with her as this is just too much. We are in the exam room and the nurse comes in and says the doctor didn't come in this day; don't worry, we won't charge you. I was like, what, I missed work and you wont' change me, I wouldn't pay if you did. I did ask about the cat scan results and she said its one of three things (ranging from minor to serious). So we make an appointment for yesterday, Thursday 4/5/18. I call before we go to make sure he is there. The receptionist says he is in and asks if we have the cat scan results. I said, no you do. So we arrive, the appointment is at 1:00. 2:00 and the doctor finally comes in and asks why we were there. I said simply, read your notes. He asked if we had the cat scan. I said no, you have it. he looks and says, oh this is the report, I need the actually cat scan. I said well call the hospital and have them email it over. Oh I can't do that, I'll go there later today and look. Come back in a month. He walks out and I interrupt him and ask, well how about the pain, are you going to call with a review, how about the pain, she can barely walk. He ignores be and starts to talk on his cell phone. My mother is following me, limping along, the nurse says lets schedule an appointment so I ignore and get louder and louder saying to the doctor, excuse me, we're not done, excuse me. he ignores me so I take my mother and start walking out. My mother asked about the next appointment and how about paying. I told my mother if she wants to come to this nut house again, she is on her own, its time to find another doctor and as far as payment, let them try to get one for services not rendered. As for the office, others are right, this looks like a doctors office out of a third world country. its dirty, people walking in and out, the staff is rude. Sorry for the rant. I read up on the doctor, he is doing great things as far as adult stem cell research and growth of bone tissue. Apparently patients are an occasional hobby for him however. One he feels he can neglect at will. read more

If you have time to spare and wait hours for your appointment. Most likely you will see a PA and not the same one. People seem to leave often. Not consistent medical provider. Staff is rude and confronts you with their problems. I have received too many calls regarding my services rendered by this doctor that I did not choose, nor would I ever again. Dr. Mehling and his his staff is a joke. Still getting bills for services not rendered. Would never recommend and next time I take my child to HUMC emergency room, I will certainly request my own doctor read more

I had a double knee scope by Dr. Mehling. The surgery and the recovery went extremely well. He's an incredibly skilled surgeon. He even helped me all of the way into the car when I came by his office for a check-up. It makes me wonder if Lisa P. and I are talking about the same place. read more

Took my 98 year old mother for a 1:40 appointment she was seen by the overworked pa at about 4:30, I kid you not! Why because BOTH drs. Left to go to the hospital! I'm sorry but when you have office hours you let the on call doctor do your surgeries and you stay and take care of your other patients. The staff needs to be trained to call patients and reschedule when the doctors leave the office not have them come in and make them wait for HOURS. Mehling may be a good surgeon,we wouldn't know because he wasn't there to see my mother, it seems like all he cares about is the almighty dollar. My suggestion to anyone who has an appointment call before you go because this seems to be the usual procedure for this practice. I had no problem with the staff being rude it's difficult to deal with irate patients who have waited hours to be seen. They need a better office manager and a better system. You can't have one pa taking care of approximately 7 or more post surgery patients who may need casts it's time for the drs. to spend all the money they're making by NOT being in the office and getting more pa's to take care of ALL your prior surgery patients. By the way the only pa that was in the office was Craig and he was wonderful we'll be seeing him for my mom's next visit. Stay tuned because in 4 weeks I'll write another review. read more
