Steven Z. Glickel, MD

I was very nervous about my surgery, Dr Glickel was very understanding and patiently listened to my concerns and explained in a way that made sense to me. He was also great after the surgery.

Dr. Glickel is kind, concern, knowledgeable and very thorough. He is conservative, not jumping to quick solutions but taking the next step when needed.

His follow up is also very thorough.

I had cubital tunnel and carpel tunnel decompression surgeries performed by Dr. Glickel on the same date. In my opinion the surgeries couldn't have gone better. Dr. Glickel prepared me well for what to expect during the operations and what kind of recovery to anticipate. Dr. Glickel was clear and precise in explaining the nature of my complaints and quelled any concern I may have had about the surgical repair. He accurately described what I could expect following the surgery and happily, both procedures provided the pain relief I had hoped for. My only regret is that I didn't consult with him sooner!

i was so scared after falling down a flight of stairs and breaking...shattering...my elbow and breaking my wrist. Dr Glickel
repaired it and i have almost full range of motion today, just 4 months later. other surgeons wanted to replace it which would have meant a lot of restriction in my life but Dr Glickel listened and understood how my lifestyle would have been very compromised with an elbow replacement. He was always kind and patient and I never once felt rushed on any of my follow up appointments. His staff was just as considerate and kind as he was. And don't get me started on how his colleague, Dr Adam Cohen, treated me and helped me with my back which I also broke (the sacrum) in the same fall. I love these doctors!

It was as good as, if not better than any previous surgeries - from the preliminary visits through the surgery and the post-surgical exams.

Dr. Glickel is noted for being one of the best hand surgeons in the country - after being treated by him I can confirm. He diagnosed me quickly, schedule surgery immediately, referred me to an orthopedic therapist and continues to see me 10 weeks post op for follow ups. He truly cares about his patients and I would refer any person in need of his assistance!

Dr. Glickel is absolutely wonderful. I can't say enough kind words about him both personally and professionally. After one failed thumb surgery I was dreading doing it again and feeling quite anxious about it. He spent extra time talking to me about it both over the telephone and in the office. And from the moment I got out of surgery I could already tell that my procedure and care was far superior to that which I received during my first surgery at a local, prestigious hospital. Moreover, my pain was minimal and well managed and my recovery, smooth. I am truly grateful to Dr. Glickel and appreciative of all he has done for me.

Found Dr. Glickel online with a nagging pain in the wrist and he was very methodical and took time to diagnose correctly with out rushing into unnecessary procedures. Was very friendly and listened to you. Staff and the whole office was pleasant experience. He was very accommodating too. Once there was a mix up with the scheduling and he took me on a day off. Caring and overall an amazing surgeon. Highly recommend!

I really had no idea what I was getting into when a Orthopedist recommended surgery for two trigger fingers which had literally left me without the ability to use my left hand. Dr. Glickel was able to restore the hand giving it far more mobility than prior to his surgery. As the healing process continues, I am confident that every day the hand is getting stronger and more useful. Dr. Glikel also recommended an excellent Occupational Therapist whose entire face lit up when I mentioned his name.

I chose to see Dr Glickel for an issue I had with my finger. I selected him based off of other patients reviews, and those reviews were right! Very positive experience from the moment I walked into the office. I never felt rushed, all of my questions were asked, and I had very successful surgery with a speedy recovery! I would recommend Dr. Glickel to anyone!

I've been seeing Dr Glickel for a little over a year now and his attention and care has been nothing shy of excellent. I've felt valued as a patient and I feel fully knowledgeable moving forward with my continued recovery.

Dr. Steven Glickel has taken wonderful care of my wrist following a fracture sustained in mid-October 2018. His immediate response to my injury was to allow the healing process to progress, and then determine if subsequent surgery was required for an optimal outcome. Two weeks later, surgery was necessary and my new plate facilitates a full range of motion 9 weeks post-op. If you need a hand surgeon, look no further. Dr. Glickel deserves more than 5 stars!

Dr. Glickel is both very knowledgeable and experienced and has a warm demeanor. Very nice office staff as well!

Excellent scheduling and payment cooperation. Good secretarial skills. Surgical facility was really wonderful and was a non-hospital (Midtown Surgery). Excellent and efficient.

Excellent experience. Very skilled surgeon.

tore ligament in thumb (skiiers thumb), doctor surgically repaired, helped pick OT for rehab, and monitored progress of healing. highly recommended

Dr. Glickel is an excellent diagnostician. He is not interventionist, meaning that he always pursues the least invasive cure available. His explanations helped me to understand the structure and functions of my hand and arm. The exercises he recommended were spot on. I will always work with him.

My experience with Dr. Glickel has been wonderful! He is an amazing surgeon who has patience and answers all my questions. He is personable, funny, and an expert in his field. I trust him, and feel comfortable with his decisions. He makes me feel at ease and in very capable hands. Thank you!!!

Dr. Glickel did a wonderful job providing intelligent and compassionate care. My experience with him involved surgery for both myself for a broken wrist and for my 13 year old son who had a severely broken finger. He is a terrific doctor who modulates his approach and care to suit his patient. I strongly recommend him.

As you can well see, I gave a 5 star rating is all areas. I am very happy with my results. I would most certainly recommend Dr. Glickel to any family member or friend. His quality of work and talent is something that I would hope to find in any other doctor or surgeon caring for me.

Sincerely,

Priscilla Lopez Fanuele
