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 was a first time patient of Dr Stefanides, I must say I was pleasantly surprised at how kind and helpful the front desk was, a special thanks to Pablo and Elizabeth The doctor was very thorough in his assessment and what needed to be done, my problem was a torn meniscus, will definitely recommend this office!

Fantastic Orthopedist
Dr. Stefanides was more than just helpful. Excellent service from the receptionists to the doctors. Once I entered his room my worries began to fade. It felt as if I hit the lotto. Very professional and knows how to tend to patient’s needs. I will be sure to recommend him any chance I get.

After being in excruciating pain for several months I saw Dr Stefanides for my left knee meniscus repair. Words can't describe how awesome I feel. I recommend him in a heartbeat. Words can't describe how great I feel.

Dr. Stefanides is incredible. He is very knowledgeable, confident and efficient. He immediately diagnosed my illness accurately. He follows through treatment leaving no stone unturned. He goes out of his way to make sure all your questions are answered. The response and treatment time he spent on me is like no other doctor that I have seen. His office staff are pleasant and competent. I got the best possible treatment and owe my speedy recovery to Dr. Stefanides. I highly recommend Dr. Stefanides to all of my family and friends.

His office staff are pleasant and competent. I was amazed by an office staff who took her time to answer and explain to a patient what to do next (even though the patient already had the information and kept asking over and over again at least 3 times). I got the best possible treatment and owe my speedy recovery to Dr. Stefanides. I highly recommend Dr. Stefanides to all of my family and friends.

Dr. Stefanides performed both my shoulder surgery (bankart repair) and my Knee surgery (ACL reconstruction revision/Meniscus repair) and both surgerys went very well! Both surgeries were very complicated and included multiple procedures. I was not the most careful in my youth and really did a number on miyself playing sports. The result for both could not have been better. He is skilled and has his patients in mind.

I've been his patient a while and he's always been very diligent in my care. He also took care of my son when he broke his knee and was able to get him an appointment with a top notch pediatric orthopedics. He and his brother have been caring for my back issues for years when my foot dropped. When I told him he moved heaven and earth to get me a Stat MRI, hooked me up with a surgeon so that I was able to have spinal surgery the day after I told him. From the moment I told him I could hear the concern in his voice and it wasn't just about "the clinical rules" he was genuinely concerned about me. He went above and beyond calling the spine surgeon and having my immediate care tended to. The office staff has always tended to insurance issues with diligence and thoroughness. I recommend him to everyone. Not only top notch clinically but a really good and caring doctor. Thank you for caring so much and making my recovery possible. I literally would have ignored the symptom had you not

Dr. Stefanides is very kind and humble surgeon. I went to his practice in Midtown Manhattan for my Knee ACL reconstruction. My father went to him for his Knee (torn meniscus) at his Queens practice. But his midtown office was convenient for me. Overall, he really knows his stuff inside and out. He spent time explaining the surgery and what needed to be done. The whole process went smoothly. I emailed him a few times with more questions and he got back to me quickly. I had great results. Pain free and went back to my routine in a few weeks. Will go back to him for future issues.
