They say when you go to a surgeon you get surgery. Not with Dr. Dhar. Her approach has worked…read morewonders for both a ruptured quad tendon and a torn bicep tendon she has treated me for. Her knowledge is encyclopedic. She is very impressive and very smart. Equally important she is unbelievably nice and a great listener. She asks probing questions about your personal life style and activities to tailor her treatment plan to your individual needs. She is patient and thoughtful and unlike many docs who would rush to surgery. I think she is TERRIFIC in every way and I highly recommend her. She deserves to be listed as one of Westchester's Best Doctors!

I ordinarily do not write reviews, however, based upon my most recent experience with Dr. Cushner…read moreand/or his office, I feel that it is incumbent upon me to do so. I started seeing Dr. Cushner about 8 years ago for various knee and shoulder pain and other issues. At that point, I was able to get an appointment without much difficulty. As time went on, I made sure to schedule the earliest appointment available as the wait time upon my arrival kept getting longer and longer (many times, over an hour). At one point, about 4 years ago, when I was supposedly his first appointment of the day, I waited for an over an hour in his waiting and exam rooms. When I complained to him about the wait time and that I was supposedly his first appointment of the day, he arrogantly indicated, that if I did not like it, I should go elsewhere, which I did. Fast forward to this week. As indicated above, I started seeing another orthopedist at Westmed, who was great. When I called for an appointment with her, I was informed that she had left the practice. So, I bit the bullet and made an appointment with Dr. Cushner. When I arrived, his waiting room was literally so overcrowded that people were waiting in the hall. After waiting for close to 30 minutes, somebody came out and indicated to all present, that there would be over an hour's wait. I promptly got up and left. So, if you have nothing to do with your time and want to be seen by an arrogant and self-important doctor, make an appointment with Dr. Cushner. Otherwise see somebody else.

This review pertains to the operation completed on my left and right knees. Specifically, the torn…read moremeniscus area after exertion while playing basketball. I would first like to thank Andrew, the practicing Physician Assistant for getting me started on Monday 1/8/24 during a follow up appointment. Thank you, to the receptionists doing a great job at the front desk. Nice to hear back from you Doctor. Yes, there was satisfaction received from my visit. I gained a new insight. In fact, I became aware of the great service the team provided that was needed for my operation. This starts with me by showing cooperation and patience. There was much assistance from co-workers such as anesthesiologists, circulating nurses, scrub nurses, and surgeons such as Doctor Lent and Doctor Spencer. Blessings and much success to your practice. Stay well.

I had a transverse fracture of the 4th metacarpal bone in my right hand and went to an ER late on a…read moreMonday night. Tuesday afternoon I saw Dr Elia, and 2 days later he operated on it at an outpatient facility, inserting a titanium plate and 4 screws to realign the bone and gave me a splint to keep it in place. I had a several follow-up appointments in which he x-rayed my hand and looked at the progress of the healing. After about 5 weeks I didn't need the splint and started occupational therapy to regain range of motion and strength in the hand. It took about 5-6 weeks of OT to regain full RoM. Dr. Elia did an excellent job. My hand has healed really well, and the scarring is minimal. I don't feel the plate in my hand. Another doctor who I saw for a different issue examined my knuckles and flexibility of the hand and said it looked great, he was surprised that the doc who did it was not a hand specialist. The occupational therapist I worked with and a dermatologist both said my scarring was less than they have seen in other patients with different surgeons. Furthermore, Dr. Elia answered my questions directly, accurately, and frankly, whether they were about treatment options, how many times a year he typically did procedures like this or what the expected recovery time would be.

I would NEVER recommend this place.

VERY frustrating and nothing was easy. After a treadmill test with again another person, where my daughter said "i have a huge headache" they said you have to come in again to see the Dr. to personally tell her you had a headache and still get headaches when exercising in order to get a note stating such. Unreal these people. Also, their front desk NOT welcoming, professional, friendly or efficient. SAVE YOURSELF THE GRIEF AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE, I PROMISE YOU WON'T REGRET!

The office was clean and nice however, I went to him with a torn meniscus. After looking at the MRI…read morehe immediately suggested surgery. I booked the surgery then had second thoughts about it so I cancelled. I asked if I should wear a knee brace in the mean time. Dr. Haig said "No it's already torn it won't do any good" I went for a second opinion and the second doctor, who looked at the same MRI, gave me a knee brace and prescribed PT for 6 weeks. The PT has been great it has been at least 6 months since the time I was going to have the surgery and my knee is so much better! Perhaps in the future I may need surgery but I feel surgery should have been a last resort not a first! I was very disappointed in this care I got!

Seemingly a good doctor, but a terrible staff…read more I had an appointment with Dr. Haig - I'll just skip to him for the time being - and the one time I saw him, I thought he was professional, knowledgeable, and I was comfortable enough that I intended to follow up w/ a procedure I needed to have done (torn rotator cuff). Well I never had the procedure with him and never will at this point as my past bit of patience with his staff is at an end. From the first appointment, staff in the front were curt and not overly welcoming. The one I dealt with seemed easily frazzled and not friendly or concerned with any issues I had. Just a poor employee overall. Since then, even getting them on the phone is a chore. At times, it appears the office makes up its own hours or at least forwards the calls to a call center. The few times I was actually able to get through, there was rudeness and they didn't seem to care one way or the other to help resolve any issue that was to be had. A few of those times I was disconnected and calling back and trying to get someone to pick up again was a hassle in itself. And I did always call during advertised business hours, but more than half the time the calls were forwarded to a call center who just told me to call them back. I guess they just can't manage a simple thing like the phones. I get it - you're busy, work in a medical office....etc. Well I'm in the medical field and work in a VERY busy hospital - and I don't talk or act in a nasty way with patients. As busy as it does get for me - and it does - , I ALWAYS go out of my way to resolve any issues a patient - or even non-patients mind you - may have. There is simply no excuse that Dr. Haig's staff might come up with that could or would absolve them for their behavior. For the few (based off the other reviews) that the staff decided to be nice to and help, lucky you. I guess I wasn't as lucky. As much as I wanted to continue under Dr. Haig's care, his staff has made it impossible. I refuse to deal with them when there is so much better out there. Again, Dr.Haig seemed like a good doctor - he just needs to replace his staff, because his practice deserves better than what he has representing him for the time being. It's because of his staff, that I intend to never return. I would imagine I'm not the only one. There's better out there.
