Comments: I was initially annoyed by the long wait time but came to realize it was well worth it. This doctor doesn’t use PA’s or nurse practitioners to provide care. Dr D gives personalized attention to his patients and even gives out his email address so he can be reached for questions. You never feel like you were put through an assembly line which is how I felt when I had surgery at HSS and then never spoke to my surgeon again as only the PA provided the postoperative care. My recovery from my hip replacement by Dr. D was more than twice as fast from the anterior approach (no cane within 2 weeks!!!) which the Dr. is an expert on. He has an excellent bedside manner and appears to be a perfectionist, all the things you want in your surgeon. I highly recommend him without any hesitation!
