  • "As an avid boxer and weight-lifter I've had my share of joint injuries. Whenever an injury is severe enough to warrant seeking care, I am always frustrated by how hard it is to find a physician who truly understands the needs of an athlete and the fact that my objective is always to return to optimal performance not just to be pain free. As someone who works with many pro athletes, Dr. Varlotta is one of the first physicians I've worked with who really understands this. He is professional, pleasant, and thorough and very well connected with other top doctors in NYC. I'd definitely recommend Dr. Varlotta to anyone seeking an expert diagnostician who operates in a nice and clean facility with professional and courteous staff."

  • "I have been working with Dr Varlotta on knee arthritis and lower back pain. The treatments he has done have been tremendous in relieving my pain and getting me back to tennis and all my activities. I am very appreciative of his care and expertise. Love his new location. Much more personal attention."

  • "I have been a patient of Dr. Varlotta for more than five years and he has always known the best, and most successful, treatments for my conditions. I highly recommend him. Even my cardiologist sees him!"
