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.

I found Dr. Aronowitz was great!
This is the first time I ever had a cortisone shot, I did not feel a thing when the doctor gave it to me.

Very thorough.
Dr. Aronowitz always hears me out. Pays attention to what my complaint is and acts on it. No complaints. He has taken care of me both surgically and non-surgically.

Great healthcare
Dr Aronowitz runs on time! He is a straight shooter, speaks plainly and honestly and he listens. From the friendly staff, the beautiful and clean offices you can tell each person takes pride in what they do. That matters, especially today when healthcare is seemingly not about care. Kudos.

Knowledgeable, experienced and gentle
I have seen Dr Aronowitz three times over three years and each time he has been an effective listener willing to help alleviate the discomfort and issues with my knee and legUtilization of X-rays and ultrasound and open further evaluation if not resolved Discusses findings and treatmentVery gentle injections as conservative measure to resolve issues but open to more investigation if unresolved

Compassionate, unrushed care.
I managed to break my leg while out of town in the Schenectady area. Was treated at Ellis, and they told me to follow up with an orthopedist. A local friend recommended Dr. Aronowitz. Very happy for that.We were able to get an appointment next day, he confirmed that the treatment plan would not require surgery or intervention other than what the hospital provided. Spent a fair bit of time explaining things to my wife and I, especially considering it was unclear if we would ever be back. We were so happy with his care that we now travel about 4 hours one way for the semi-weekly follow-up appointments, rather than transfer to a more local provider.No experience with his skill as a surgeon, but at least he respects when not to do it.Office staff has also been great.Has been very kind to us in our awkward situation of needing out-of-town care, and I am happy to recommend Dr. Aronowitz.

out of town care – Aug 10, 2024
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Aronowitz?
Dismissive care
I will make this short and simple. Saw Dr Aronowitz for less than 5 mins. He examined me (which left me with a lot more pain than I had when I first got there) and after what felt like 30 seconds, he left the room and that was it. Didn’t have a chance to ask any questions, nothing. Will never go back to OrthoNY. I just got back from Bone and Joint Center and the Dr. I saw there was great. Did more testing and his examination was very good and he gave me the time to ask questions, etc.
