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.

Amazing experience - highly recommend
Dr. Epstein treated and finally replaced my right knee. He is amazing, very meticulous and caring. I have never regretted it and would have him do so again, should my left knee ever require it. I highly recommend him; he is the best.

The office requires you be there 15 minutes prior to your appointment. I waited an hour and a half to see the doctor! Front desk was rude and short when I asked how much longer I’d be waiting. Why is it that only the doctor’s time is valuable? They would charge me if I was late or canceled. Why is it ok for them? Completely unacceptable

was forwarded to him by my surgeon as I was 8 weeks post op from total knee replacement. I had many issues and complications from this surgery , but Dr. Epstein did not investigate them enough even though I had very evident signs of complications. Those were 1) a ruptured patellar tendon and 2) and septic infection that almost killed me. I am beyond angry and frustrated and would never recommend this dr to anyone. My second opinion dr diagnosed me within 10min of the visit , as he couldn't .

We’ve visited Dr. Epstein monthly for nearly a year. The staff is ALWAYS professional, courteous and friendly. Recent interior work presented somewhat adverse conditions for an office, and still they managed to stay open throughout the process while remaining cognizant of the needs of the patients waiting. Dr. Epstein is very attentive to the patient’s condition and progress. Once finished explaining and answering questions, he dictates his findings on a recorder. Highly recommended practice!

Dr. Epstein came highly recommended. I've rarely been so disappointed. The office is utter chaos. The office staff don't seem to know what they are doing. The wait time is horrendous, over 2 hours. I wasn't particularly impressed with my interaction with the doctor. He seemed to avoid eye contact and spend most of his time with his nose in the computer or his dicta recorder thing.

About Me

care philosophy

I strive to provide prompt, courteous, compassionate care. I have same day (within 24 hours) appointments for patients with fractures. I believe patients should first be treated conservatively. In most cases surgery is recommended only if conservative measures fail.
