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.

Matthew Liebman did surgery on my wrist many years ago and I still think about him every time I look at the horrible scar (with big stich marks) that he left on my wrist. He was arrogant and I would not recommend him.

I recently had an appointment with Dr. Leibman and was wildly overcharged. I was in his office for all of fifteen minutes and saw the doctor for 30 seconds. I received NO treatment and was charged over $1,000. The only medical procedure that was done was quantifying my injury. He's a robber baron, I would advise seeking an alternative hand specialist

One of the best doctors I have ever seen. Actually treats the patient. Listens. Does not judge. Is not sexist.

Dr Matthew Liebman has performed several surgeries on me over the past 10 years. His skill has ensured an easy, successful recuperation each time. He has been consistently professional, warm and caring. He is an excellent doctor and a genuinely nice person. His office staff reflects this demeanor and guarantees that office visits never add the usual stress attendant with trips to the doctor’s office. It is always a pleasure to see Dr Liebman and his staff.

Dr. Leibman has operated on my finger, healed my tennis elbow, and helped with various other issues on both my hands and elbows. Visiting his office, I always feel confident that I'll get the best care. He and the office staff are attentive and thorough and I have often recommended Dr. Leibman and his practice to friends and family.

Dr. Matthew Leibman took a 30 year old injury and made my arm feel better than it had for the last 20 years. I have increased rotation in my wrist and better mobility in my elbow. He took the time to determine what the best route would be to fix problems in three different areas of my arm so they would all work together for the best possible result. After the removal of my radial head, I was out of a cast and in a splint within a week! All the surgeries went better than expected with amazing rec

I have used Dr. Leibman for 3 different surgeries. I do construction work and the full use of my hands is imperative. I have needed pins/screws place to hold tendons and bones in place. I had a partial amputation of a finger that was reconstructed using a graft from a different part of my body. Each surgery was explained in detail, He is young, talented and he listens to your concerns, his expertise and knowledge was comforting and professional. Highly recommend if you require hand surgery.

Five Star from start to finish with NWH Hand Surgery PC. I've had 6 separate procedures on my hands and also a torn biceps repair. I was a commercial fisherman for a long time and put myself through the rigors of offshore work. Appointments, office visits, all personnel associated with this office are absolutely TERRIFIC!! Thank you Dr's. Belsky and Leibman and your staff. My hands work again and are pain free. You guys are FIRST CLASS!!

I saw Dr. Leibman for the first time today on the recommendation of a friend, and wow! I was very pleased with the whole experience. His bedside manner was great; so friendly, caring, and attentive. He is extremely knowledgeable yet has a great way of explaining things in terms I could understand. Although it's very clear he's serious about his profession, his smile barely left his face, which made me feel so at ease. His entire staff are so warm, welcoming, and helpful. I highly recommend

Dr. Leibman and the entire staff of Hand Surgery PC are extremely caring, attentive and professional. I would absolutely highly recommend Hand Surgery PC to all of my family and friends. The office is clean, welcoming and friendly. Scheduling is easy and there is minimal wait time in the waiting room for your appointment. If professional athletes trust Dr. Leibman than I obviously trust his decisions!

I have been a patient of Dr. Matthew Leibman on several occasions. I have been very happy with my care, from the time I walked in the door until the time I left. His staff are all wonderful and very efficient. Dr. Leibman answered all my questions and made me feel at ease with his knowledge about my diagnosis. I did end up having surgery, although he is not just a surgeon, he is an orthopedist as well. since my surgery, I have not had any symptons and my hand feels like a million bucks!

Liebman lacks a sense of professionalism. He spoke to me without caring or compassion. After two visits, his office refused to make me an appointment for an MRI, unless I agreed to another vsit with Dr. Liebman. I did not want to another appt. with Dr. Liebman, but I needed the MRI, so I gave him another chance. He continued to treat me without care for my pain and suffering.
