“I can’t say enough positive things about Somers Orthopedics.. but in particular, Dr Daniel Buchalter. After “interviewing” 5 different surgeons for my bilateral hip replacements, at 4 different hospitals including 2 of the “top best” in NYC, I chose Dr Daniel Buchalter. He checked all the boxes and then some. Dr Daniel Buchalter’s educational biography was most impressive and his personality was unmatched to all the other surgeons I met with (in a good way). Plus, orthopedic surgery is in his blood, his dad is one of the best as well. I chose Dr Daniel Buchalter for many reasons and I am so grateful I did. He replaced my right hip May 1st (perfection) and I will be having him replace my left hip this August. It has been a game changer in my life (in a good way) . Surgery is always the last resort and there is so much to consider. I felt completely at ease with the entire staff/facility but mostly because I knew I chose the right Dr from the minute I met him. I booked my first surgery immediately after my consult apt. with him. I have already recommended Dr Daniel Buchalter to many clients and family members. I can’t thank Dr Daniel Buchalter enough for making my experience so comfortable and taking away my hip pain. I am looking forward to August for him to complete my “pain free, new hip journey” .
Ps I always expect a wait at any Drs office. Don’t worry if you have a wait it is well worth it. Plus they give everyone equal attention and I have never felt rushed.”
