Rest in peace Dr. Altchek. He told my son he DID NOT need shoulder surgery and my son went on to compete in D1 wrestling. If it weren't for him saying that my son would have undergone unnecessary surgery and never competed in college.

Dr Altcheck has now taken care of me and 2 of my close friends. He is simply the best in the business, bar none. Both of my friends had surgeries botched by other surgeons who are considered top orthopedic surgeons, one in California, the other in London. Dr Altchek was able to fix their problems for both when other top doctors simply gave up. For me, he fixed my broken clavicle from a surfing accident. It was in 7 pieces and he put me back together and within a year I was back to military pressing 350lbs without any pain (i’m about 6’ and weight about 205 so I’m not a pro athlete size). What others haven’t said is that he gets sent the TOP, TOP athletes in the world when their careers are on the line. He is the team orthopedic surgeon for many of the NY sports teams. His staff is amazing. If you want the proverbial “Dr. House” of orthopedics (without the brash TV personality of Dr. House), David Altchek is the best on the planet, hands down.

Dr Altchek is a great surgeon and his staff is great. I am back to tennis and my elbow feels great. I really highly recommend Dr Altchek based on experience and the positive experience I had with him and his staff.

I had a TKR done by Dr. Altchek ten years ago. It was a VERY challenging knee with several prior injuries and surgeries and a lot of internal scarring and ligament problems. However Dr. Altchek and the other folks at HSS did a wonderful job and my replaced knee works well, and is still going strong at ten years and counting.
