I have been seeing the doctor for four months and he has advised my recovery without surgery. Therapy is very difficult but helpful if you do it consistently.thanks Doc🤓😀🙃🤣

Doctor Garfinkel, is my favorite doctor. Always takes good care of me. Answers all my questions in a professional, positive manner. Highly recommended as. Orthopedic surgeon!!!
Dr Matt is very thorough, answers my questions, is personable, and doesn't rush! The staff is very efficient.
Doctor Garfinkel. Has to be one of the best Orthopedic doctors around. He did my right shoulder back in 2018 I’ve had no issues since. And just did my left shoulder in Jan 2024. I’m sure I’ll be back doing my normal every day routine very soon! .
Dr. Garfinkel was very pleasant and knowledgeable in his field of expertise. This was my first visit to him and I was highly impressed. I would without a doubt recommend him to anyone who is in need of an orthopaedic specialist.
Knowledge and the explanation of my injury it makes me feel relaxed
