“Thorough diagnosis and advice about an injury: After tripping and falling rushing for a subway train, I had persistent pain in my upper leg and hip when walking. I wanted to rule out serious injury to hip, etc. Meredith did a thorough interview, physical exam and reviewed X-ray images with me. All was fine. She reassured me that injury should continue to heal and pain reduce. If not, come back. Perfect visit.”

Verified patient
Been suffering with frozen shoulder for nearly 6 months it took me a while to get a proper diagnosis and during that time I was thinking I could manage it myself. But overwhelming suggestion of getting a Cortizone shot eventually became necessary. This place was AWESOME. They listened to me, were kind, and gave me an overview of my condition with steps forward. The shot was not pleasant but I’m so glad for the handholding and comfort during this thing.
Verified patient
I am really grateful I found Meredith and NY Orthopedics. She is thorough and has great bedside manner. She listens and explains things clearly and thoughtfully. I would recommend her to anyone needing to see an Orthopedic practitioner.
