Dr. Steven Glickel, MD

After letting a broken wrist sit for over 10 years, I saw Dr. Glickel when the pain became unbearable while working out. He diagnosed me with a "Scaphoid non-union advanced collapse," or "SNAC'd" wrist. Apparently the bone had broken way back when and never healed right, and I was developing arthritis through the joint. He suggested a surgery, the Malerich procedure, that would remove the affected bone; he would perform the surgery himself. The surgery was comfortable and easy. After getting the surgery, my recovery went exactly as he described, and he stayed available at all hours to answer any questions. After weeks of follow-ups, my wrist is now starting to improve over its pre-surgery condition -- I can start doing some push-ups for the first time in years! I can't thank Dr. Glickel enough. Without his suggestion, I would have ended up getting a wrist fusion, with a significantly worse range of motion and harder recovery.

From the first time we met before surgery, I knew I was in good hands. I really have nothing negative to say, and everything from the surgery to the recovery was easy.

Dr Glickel has been nothing short of amazing. This has been my first serious injury and I felt safe, cared for, and well taken care of during my entire time.

Dr. Glickel is one of the most sought after hand doctors in the U.S. He repaired two fractures in my right hand with excellent results and very minimal incision scars. He never pushed anything on me and always prioritized my health and well being. He is well known throughout the NYC metro as a top physician, and I am so thankful I found him! Dr. Glickel has a lovely demeanor and is a highly awarded contributor and asset to the medical field.

i had carpal tunnel surgery with dr glickel. it was a great experience, everything went as he explained it and his office was great in arranging all the pre operative requirements, and follow up. 4 weeks later i have full use of my hand completely free of pain and can all the things i was restricted from

Had an evaluation with Dr Glickel for my hand injury and found out I needed surgery to repair my fingers. My options were explained clearly, and everything from surgery, to post-op, to the follow up was in-line with the expectations laid out. I felt he took the time to listen and explain things in as much detail as I wanted. A great experience overall.

After severe pain in my right thumb and wrist caused by an old injury, Dr Glickel proposed that I get surgery to reconstruct my thumb (which was out of place and needed to have a metal rod previously added removed) and reduce pain in my wrist area. Dr Glickel conducted a complicated surgery with a long recovery plan that was extremely successful. After 2.5 years of pain in the area, my hand finally feels normal.

was able to accurately diagnose and fix the ligament in my thumb. Dr. Glickel was very professional and the experience has been amazing.

I suffered from a severely broken hand, four of the five metacarpals. Completely, immobile. Dr. Glickel is a master at his art and he restored my hand. Highly, recommended.

After breaking my wrist at age 67, I was scared and concerned about getting back to my normal and active life. I told Dr Glickel that I wanted to be the same as I was before my fall. He recommended surgery to stabilize my wrist which was highly successful. Now 90 days later I am back to my active lifestyle and grateful for the terrific care I received. What i like most about Dr Glickel other than his skills as a surgeon is his ability to listen and treat me as an individual. A kind thoughtful man

I feel that Doctor Glickel and his staff provided me with excellent care in a very complicated . operation HIs ability to coordinate the various players in this operation was above and beyond the normal charge The ability to get a manufacturer to provide customized parts may all the difference in my treatment

Dr. Glickel was an excellent doctor while we were working through my broken finger, and was very caring and thoughtful. He was also receptive to all my concerns and helped walk through all facets of recovery with great detail

Dr. Glickel and his staff are first rate. Using the latest techniques, my recovery was a month sooner than it would have been in the past. He is patient with any questions and thorough in his follow.

Dr. Glickel was professional and thorough from my first visit post-injury through my final follow up. He helped get me back to 100% one month earlier than the three month expectation for my injury. Would highly recommend to anyone with a hand issue

I had a broken hand that required surgery to put in a screw. Doctor Glickel did an amazing job and i have almost full mobility back after only 2 months.

I have arthritis that has affected my fingers. They were crooked and always made me so self conscious as I'm only in my 30s. I was nervous about the procedure to straighten them though as I'm athletic and didn't want to be out for too long. Dr Glickel was extremely knowledgeable and able to help me understand what I really needed. He also gave me a very accurate time frame of events and healing time. The whole thing was so smooth that I find myself forgetting that I even had the surgery!

Dr. Glickel was very patient and thorough.

I have had 6 successful trigger finger releases and have full use of my hands without pain. An excellent physician with thorough followup and rehab supervision.

My experience with Dr, Glickel was positive from the very beginning..As a professional flutist, I was very worried that i would never be able to play again but in four months I began to play and now am back at work full time. Thank you, Dr. Glickel

Dr. Steven Glickel is an absolutely incredible surgeon who provided an exceptional experience from the initial diagnoses, through surgery, and in the multiple follow-up visits. After having visited multiple other doctors who had not been able to provide proper help, Dr. Steven Glickel made an accurate diagnoses at the first meeting and made sure to seek out confirmation through Ultra Sound and MRI-scans. After confirming the diagnosis, he got me an appointment for the necessary surgery right away, which he did himself to the best result I could have wished for. I felt comfortable and safe before and throughout the surgery, and I received all the information I could wish for before and after. The surgery went extremely well, and I was guided to a very helpful physical therapists afterwards. In the following months, my hand and wrist made a tremendous recovery, and I regularly met with Dr. Steven Glickel who ensured I recovered in full. I am very happy and thankful for all the help!
