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.

THE BEST!!
Dr. Roy Davidovitch is an excellent orthopedic surgeon. When I met him the first time, I know right away that I am in good hands. I had my THR last February of this year. At the pre-op room Dr. Davidovitch asked me if I have some questions. I said nothing so far, I just want my life back and he answered me, “You will have your life back” and I did!! I was able to walk right away with no pain at the recovery room. Dr. Davidovitch is not just an excellent surgeon. He is a wonderful, kind, caring and very very skilled surgeon and his staffs are also great! They are easy and always ready to answer all my queries and concerns especially Siobhan who is always there when you need her. No words can express how grateful I am to Doctor Davidovitch and his team. Thank you Dr. Davidovitch for giving me my life back! YOU ARE THE BEST!!

I had both my hips replaced by Dr. Davidovitch. The right hip required reconstruction however I was taken into the hospital in a wheelchair and left the same day walking. Not a miracle, just a very skilled surgeon. The left hip was routine and the recovery was very brief. Dr. Davidovitch is a talented, professional and caring physician who also has an exceptional staff. They went above and beyond; a wonderful office filled with extremely competent and very kind individuals. The staff addressed ever detail and were also responsive to my needs.

Wonderful experience
Dr. Davidovitch did a full hip replacement which went exactly according to plan. On recovery, I was walking immediately and never needed to take the prescription pain meds, the OTC meds were fine. Visits with the Doctor and the staff were always pleasant and informative. The hospital, NYU Langone Orthopedics, was fantastic as well.

My experience with Dr. Davidovitch was excellent, he is a great professional with many years of experience and has performed thousands of surgeries but the best thing about him, is he is a great person and cares about his patients. He also has the patience to explain the procedure and respond to all the doubts. Above all, I had my labrum tear repair with him because from my first appointment I feel I could trust him.

I cannot recommend Dr. Davidovitch highly enough. Six days ago he performed an Anterior Total Hip Replacement on me. Within 24 hours I was essentially free of pain, walking with assistance and on my way to healing. Now I am fully able to take care of myself if necessary. Dr. Davidovitch and his staff were the epitome of professionalism and I count myself lucky to have been recommended to them by my son who is also a physician .

practicing MD
I was a healthy 79 year old who needed a hip replacement. I Chose Dr Davidovitch because a few of my colleagues underwent the same surgery and recommended him. The evaluation preoperative testing was very well organized. I was impressed with the PT session teaching about the postoperative period, teaching how to get out of bed, walk with a walker and a cane and going up the stairs. My surgery was postponed for 6 months because of COVID in NY city. When it happened it was like a miracle. I was in the OR at 8AM. By noon I was out of bed walking with a walker and being tested to see if I can climb stairs properly. By 12:45 I was in the car heading home. I iced a lot and did not need the pain medication prescribed. I followed direction on the special app which is very helpful. The 2 weeks telehealth visit was great, since you can stay at home . I recommend Dr Davidovitch and his team without reservations.

Dr Davidovich and his team are excellent and have developed a care plan for anterior total hip replacement with same day discharge to home. They remain readily available throughout your recovery for and questions or concerns. Pain management is excellent with minimal need for opioids. I live 3 hours away from NYU, I had rights hip done 2019 and left hip today. it’s well worth the trip!

Dr. Davidovitch performed my hip surgery a little over a year and a half ago. He is a brilliant surgeon. There are not enough words to describe him. I was hesitant on the anterior approach but when I met Dr. Davidovitch, he made me feel confident that the surgery will go well and take away all the pain I was having in my hip and back. He was 100% correct! Not only is he very knowledgeable in his field of expertise, he is caring, personable and patient too. He never made me feel I was asking too many questions. The post-operative care went smoothly as he said it would. I was walking with minimum use of the crutches the next day after my surgery and had no issues. Almost a year later, I was riding the peloton and continued to feel great. Not only is Dr. Davidovitch an amazing surgeon, his staff was always a pleasure to work with too. They were always accommodating with any questions or requests I had. I cannot thank Dr. Davidovitch and his staff enough for the wonderful work they do!

Dr. Davidovitch performed 2 anterior approach hip replacements on me and I could not be happier. I am able to do everything I did prior to my hip issues. He and his team are just wonderful. They answer all of your questions, Lily the surgical coordinator is always so friendly and thorough making sure everything is taken care of prior to surgery, NYU Langone was literally the best hospital I have ever been in and after surgery Dr. Davidovitch and his team were always there for any concerns I had. I recommend Dr. Davidovitch and his team to everyone I know.

I had both my Hips replaced by Dr. Davidovitch. The first was June 2018 and then again Sept.2020. I did much research before the initial surgery regarding method and Doctor before finally deciding I wanted the Anterior approach and Dr. Davidovitch. The outcome could not have been better! Both times I was released same day. I was walking without assistance within days and back to normal activities within 2-3 weeks. Compared to some friends that I know that had the hip surgery, my recovery's the most pain free and quickest of all which I credit with Dr.Davidovitch.

Dr. Davidovitch is a 10. I had a total left hip replacement in June 2020 during the pandemic. I wasn’t, but he was, cool and calm and took the time to answer all my questions and put me at ease. Everything went just as he said it would and I was home the same day. The follow-up care from his office staff was incredible. His staff goes above and beyond. If I should ever need another hip I will go running back to Dr. Davidovitch.

On Oct. 24, 2019, Dr Davidovitch performed an Anterior Hip Replacement on me. After PT and being in constant pain for months, my physical therapist in CT recommended the doctor to me. Luckily I was able to get an appointment quickly. Right away I knew I was in the right place. Dr. D was thorough, kind, and explained everything very well, he listened. The surgery was a huge success. I was walking around the hospital floor the night of surgery, happy I spent the night instead of going home. I used a walker for several days or when I went outside. Was doing stairs the next day. The pain was minimual. The ice cuff he recommended was great. About two weeks after surgery, I felt like my old self again. I cannot thank Dr. Davidovitch and his staff enough, they are the very best!

Dr. Davidovitch is an orthopedic surgeon located in NYC.. He is affiliated with NYU Langone. Dr. D. replaced my hip in 2012. I was amazed then how easy the surgery was, how skilled Dr. D. was and how short my recuperation was. The week after the surgery, I climbed a full flight of steps and saw clients all day. No pain. This was not the experience of friends who had the same surgery with other Drs. So, when I needed to have the other hip replaced, I knew exactly where I would go. Dr. D. replaced the second hip, with the same result. Short recuperation, hardly any pain and so easy considering it is major surgery. When I did research for the first hip, I learned exactly how skilled Dr. D. was. He actually brought the frontal hip replacement surgery to NYU. I highly recommend him. Dr. Joan D. Atwood
