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.

Left Hand Carpal tunnel surgery
I was referred to Dr. Moldavskiy ,because I had carpal tunnel surgery issues on my left hand, numbness, tingling and waking me up at night. and he, after exam & tests, I scheduled Surgery for February 11 2025. It was a Quick orthoscopic Surgery that gave me instant painless relief.when i woke up after procedure i was moving all my fingers freely and with no pain. I was prescribed some pain pills but truthfully didn't need them or take them .today got bandage changed and tiny healing scar doing great. I have had 15 plus surgeries in my life this one was the easiest and instant recovery...THANK YOU DR. Moldavskiy, You really improved my quality of life.

Excellent Doctor - Highly Recommended
I first met Dr. Moldavskliy after breaking two bones in my lower left arm while playing pickleball. I received excellent treatment and follow up to fully regain use of my arm and fingers. He later performed a surgery on my right arm to alleviate ongoing tendon pain. This was also very successful. I encourage anyone needing an excellent doctor and surgeon to not hesitate to contact Dr. Moldavskiy. His office staff are excellent and caring. Dr. Moldavskiy also diagnosed my husband’s hand issues and referred him to a rheumatologist for further testing.

Surgery repair or fractured humerus
Doctor Moldavskiy performed a surgery that came with some risk of hitting the nerve and it couldn’t have went smoother. Couldn’t be happier with how the surgery went and the recovery has been better than I could have ever imagined. All the staff in his office are extremely kind and helpful as well. Looked forward to every appointment and so appreciative of how I was treated by everyone. Highly recommend this Dr Moldavskiy.

Orthopedic Surgery Right wrist & Elbow
Listened, didn’t act hastily, put me through what he felt like was the proper tests & also before localizing an area to see if surgery could even be an option. Once those steps were taken then he discussed with me what he felt like he could do to help with my numbness and pain. We proceeded with surgery. Dr. MOLDAVSKIY is dry and very straight forward but a great physician.

SO GLAD HE DID MY SURGERY
I fell and broke both long bones and shattered my elbow, all in my right arm. I was sent to 3 different surgeons in our insurance network. None of them would do the surgery saying it needed a surgeon with traumatic elbow experience. My insurance company went out of network and picked Dr. Moldavskiy. I went from not even able to pick up a plastic spoon to now I am back to my normal living with full radius of my arm to a palm up position. I never thought I would be able to do full duties with my right arm again in the beginning. I thank God everyday that he did the surgery.

Great doctor and office
Dr. Moldavskiy saw me after a broken wrist. Excellent doctor; explained things well, and saw me in a timely manner. Office and x-ray staff are great, friendly, never a long wait. Surgical care was great, rapid healing and he demonstrates competence and professionalism. I've been an RN for many years, and worked around many physicians. I would recommend him without hesitation for any orthopedic needs.

Moldavskiy is the best
Spiral fractured my humerus back in 2020. He was very diligent, detailed, and compassionate. In a time where I was going through a lot physically and mentally I needed someone like him in my corner. Surgery went great and recovery was long and tough. Full recovery and have had no issues at. I’m able to live a normal life with regular physicality involved. I will forever be grateful. Thank you!

I recently had a surgery follow up appointment with Dr. Moldavskiy and was amazed with the professional staff and the doctor. I was called at my appointment time! The staff were pleasant and easy to talk to. I waited less than 10 minutes for the doctor. He very thorough in his explanation and answered all my questions.

Excellent Surgeon
Dr. Moldavskiy is an excellent surgeon because he is not only very knowledgeable but also caring. When I fractured my wrist he scheduled surgery the next day of consultation . He explained the whole process from surgery to recovery time in detail. After a year he did another surgery for hardware removal. Everything went just as he explained. I have no regrets. I highly recommend Dr. Moldavskiy. He is the best surgeon.

OutStanding Surgen
Dr. Moldavskiy was just amazing since the first day I went to his office. He displayed a profound sense of attentiveness and caring for the patient and the wound. Prior to attending Dr. Moldavskiy I had seen the 2 other doctors who had done nothing to alíviate the pain I was going through at that moment nor did they try to do anything about the matter. He quickly helped with my pain and helped settle the best and quickest way possible to make sure my hand got better. I went from having some chances of mobility in my finger after my fractures but thanks to the Dr Moldavskiy and his recommended stretches I was able to recover my mobility and make a fist again. This might not seem like much to someone who could only imagine this as a sprained hand but after fracturing my hand it difficult enough just to move my hand. Highly recommend
