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.

Real Sports Medicine Doctor. Not a fake, like I've had before. Had to write a review. Dr. Small knows his stuff. Plus he calls back!

Dr Small was excellent and I have recommended him to many of my friends. He is a real sports medicine doctor who really knows what he is talking about. I was impressed that he took the time to carefully listen to my issue. It was complex and other doctors were not able to figure out my problem. Dr Small figured it out within a few minutes. Other doctors wanted to keep sending me for tests, but Dr Small fixed me within minutes- True!!

Dr. Small is terrific! I highly recommend him! His knowledge and passion in sports injuries really shows. It's great seeing a doctor who knows what he is talking about. I am a college athlete so getting back to school and to my sport is truly important. You can tell that Dr. Small sees many athletes I am writing this review because Dr. Small made all this possible! His office was very helpful. I had an Xray and I was able to quickly get an MRI. Dr. Small is the only doctor to see.

Excellent Sports Medicine Doctor! Dr. Small is great!. He was thorough and very knowledgable-Unlike most doctors! He explained my condition and was very thorough. He's passion about his patients, about sports medicine and his knowledge really shows! I appreciate the fact he only sees sports injuries all day and his diagnosis is the only one that makes any sense. I highly recommend Dr Small for all sports injuries. I am a high level athlete and it is important for me to get back into my spot.

I thought Dr. Small was terrific!. He and his staff were very pleasant and helpful. He was able to diagnosis my daughter's injury quickly and accurately. We left with a game plan. Now, my daughter is back playing sports. Great Dr! He is the only Doctor to see for kids and their sports injuries!

Had a horrible experience with this doctor. He's rude & arrogant. Even with a true and accurate diagnosis from this doctor, complete with a list of rehab items and follow up appointment - god forbid you ask him to do his part and fill out a temporary disability form from your employer until you are cleared to return to work. Temporary disability that has been paid into your whole adult life - if you ask as you're supposed to to survive - he fires you as a patient. Even insurance co. is stunned

Dr. Small is number one! His focus is on kids and athletes with sports injuries and his knowledge really shows! He was very personal and took the time to answer all of my questions. I called with a few questions and he called back quickly. He is the only doc that I trust with my injuries. I am glad that I came home from college to see him.

Chappaqua, NY – Jul 31, 2017

Absolutely would NOT recommend this doctor. Very cold and unpleasant to speak with, and laughed when asked a question. Extremely demeaning. The entire vibe of the office, including the staff (who wouldn't give us the notes that were taken until asked), was both odd and off -- I, along with the person that I came with, felt extremely uncomfortable, not to mention that the advice given was unhelpful. Please save your time and money, and see another doctor that actually cares about your problems.

Dr. Small was very pleasant, very insightful, and very experienced. I had seen many other doctors who were not able to diagnose me. I am a D1 baseball player so my medical care is very important. I am writing this because I thought Dr. Small was a great sports medicine Doc. Many other doctors consider themselves sports medicine specialists. This is not the case. While waiting to see Dr. Small, I saw athletes from all sports coming and going. I sent many of my D1 friends to see Dr. Small

It was such a pleasure working with Dr. Small. Diagnosis was accurate and insightful. He gave me a daily routine. I was able to get back to my sport quickly and back to competitive play and winning again. Staff was very courteous and helpful. Dr. Small is the ONLY physician to see if you have a sport injury
