Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Shoulder injury
Dr. Comisar thoroughly explained next steps and did not rush while answering all my questions. My original injury from 11 years ago was very traumatic for me. He understood how upsetting this new change in my shoulder is for me, and he did not dismiss my fears. That understanding and his professionalism are significant for me.

Dr. Comisar is one of the best
Dr. Comisar came highly recommended to me for sports injuries. Since then he has treated me for one Bicep tear, two ACL tears and one LCL injury. He always explains your injury clearly, the options and his recommendations. He takes time to answer questions and most importantly he always gets me back to 100% quickly.I highly recommend him and his helpful staff.

Highly recommend Dr Comisar
Dr. Comisar explained his assessment of my condition and my options for care. He took the time to answer my questions so that I could make an informed decision.

Recent office appointment
This was a follow up for reverse shoulder replacement surgery and I am doing great and pleased with the results. Dr. Comisar has been compassionate, detailed with explanations, and always answers my questions in a way I can comprehend. I liked the way he explained each step of recovery and made sure that any concerns were addressed. It was a team effort between doctor and patient. I felt totally at ease and he always had a wonderful 'bedside manner.' I recommend Dr. Comisar for any problem and surgery. Office staff very professional and friendly as well.

Frozen Shoulder
Dr Comisar was able to quickly and accurately diagnose my “frozen shoulder” which I had suffered with for over 3 months. It was such a relief to finally know what I was dealing with. He immediately gave me a cortisone injection and set up a PT recovery plan. Happily moving forward!!!

Fantastic. Very kind. – Apr 22, 2024
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Comisar?
Dr Comisar is terrific. He listens, understands what you’re concerned about, explains everything in terms the patient understands, and outlines a course of treatment. I have awful shoulders and want to avoid surgery. Dr Comisar is working with me to hopefully achieve satisfactory mobility without surgery. It may come but Dr Comisar is working with me not just jumping to surgery. It may be needed eventually but if so I would only let Dr. Comisar do it. His secretary and MA are great as well
