Dr. Glickel gave me excellent care after experiencing a severe fracture which needed surgery including plate, screws and a bone graft. It is now 8 weeks since my surgery and have excellent range of motion and the ability to do regular tasks, From my first visit everything was expedited efficiently to the day if surgery, I am filled with gratitude to Dr, Glickel for his clarity, time and expertise. He is a gift to be cherished. His reassurance was wonderful and accurate for me especially since I am a massage therapist.

Dr. Glickel operated on my glomus tumor under a fingernail. It had been excruciating painful on touch or cold. Although this occurred a few years ago, I am still thankful for his great help.

Great. I would recommend

Highly recommended, best in the business

Dr. Glickel is an excellent surgeon. He listens to his patients and provides top-notch care.

I felt like I received the best care possible at all points. Thank you.

I suffered with elbow pain for almost 4 years, and after another surgery I still wasn't healed. I found Dr. Glickel and he spent almost 2 hours with me at my new patient appointment trying to figure out all ways that he can help. After some decisions, we came to surgery. Now 3 months after, I can barely remember what that pain felt like. Every day I'm healing more, able to do more activities, such as opening a heavier door without struggle. And every day I'm thanking that I put myself into Dr. Glickels hands to fix my pain. Thank you and Thank you again!

Dr. Glickel made every step of the process smooth and easy!

He answered every question I had, and additionally provided me with plenty of information surrounding my diagnosis. I felt confident in recovery throughout the entire process, which greatly helped any anxiety.

I have had carpal tunnel syndrome with varying levels of severity for several decades. Arriving at the decision for surgery was a big deal obviously. Dr. Glickel, both by reputation and demeanor did everything to alleviate any fear and allowed me the utmost confidence in a positive outcome. I will recommend him to anyone seeking his tremendous skill and experience

Dr.Glickel is an oustanding doctor who explained everything to me . MY hand is 100% better then it was before I came to him. He's caring and compassionate as well as an excellent hand surgeon I would highly recommend him. His staff is top notch as well.

This was a very long process. 10 months from injury. I was not ready for surgery at the outset and Dr. Glickel waited with me to see if the humerous would heal on its own. When after 4 months it was not aligned, we decided on surgery. I appreciated the indulgence to wait on surgery till it was clear the bone would not heal properly on it own. I also appreciated the recommendation to Lang Therapy who is helping in my recovery. Everyone in Dr.Glickel's office was kind, patient and well trained for their role.

Dr. Glickel couldn't have been more thorough or thoughtful throughout the whole process, pre and post-surgery. He always took time to answer my many questions and performed my surgery flawlessly. I'm 99% recovered and went into my procedure with little fear. I will always recommend him to anyone in need and am so thankful to have had him as my surgeon.

I have eight years of patient experience with Dr. Glickel. He has treated me successfully for arthritis of the left, and ultimately the right thumb. An initial conservative approach with effective local steroid injections was very helpful but eventually surgery became necessary. After post-operative physiotherapy I regained full and painless use of both hands to the extent that my fine movement control was preserved, I could use both heavy power and hand held tools and could play the piano with an octave hand reach and even accomplish ninths and tenths. Dr. Glickel demonstrates outstanding medical judgement and surgical skills. He is empathetic, honest, dryly humorous and welcoming. His training by two founding giants in the field of hand surgery combined with his 30+ years of clinical experience make him a premium go-to hand surgeon in New York City. I recommend his practice as top notch, 5 Star, a 100% operation!

I came to Dr. Glickel somewhat accidentally, but I am SO glad that I did! I found him after making an appointment with OrthoManhattan for a fractured ulna, but being unsure which doctor specifically to make an appointment with; they quickly directed me to an appointment with Dr. Glickel. He immediately took the time to not only diagnose my fracture, but to make sure I understood what the next steps were and that I felt comfortable with each step. I got two additional opinions from other surgeons who sang Dr. Glickel's praises and assured me I could do no better than him! After the surgery, his followups were always efficient and even enjoyable- which is an exceedingly rare thing. He is not only a great surgeon but a great person, and I would recommend him to anyone!

Listens and takes care of every concern,,, never rushed. Explains everything carefully and fully.

I had a broken finger that required surgery. I met with Dr. Gickel after finding him online. He was a fantastic doctor and great surgeon. The surgery was as good as can be expected and follow ups were easy. After about 10 weeks I have near full range of motion in my finger and have no limits on my activities. Highly recommended.

Dr. Glickel saved my career as a chef and as a dog trainer. Without him, my life would literally have been over. At the age of 27, starting my life, getting married, saving up money to buy a house, all of that would have been over if not for Dr. Glickel. He is so kind, funny, SMART, and caring. The BEST doctor I have ever been to.

Dr. Glickel is not only an exceptional doctor, he is personable and kind. He is not in a hurried rush, even though he is very busy. He is the sort of doctor patients would like to see, but are difficult to find any more.
The result of my surgery was excellent. He was able to make one feel very comfortable before surgery. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a hand surgeon.

I feel blessed to have had the highly skilled Dr. Glickel doing surgery on my fingers more than once. Always a problem free
recovery.
