Came after surgery somewhere else

I had surgery with another doctor at another hospital and Dr. K was kind enough to see me because I was in pain. He made sure I did not have an infection which was good. He gave me some pills for my inflammation which worked great. I recommend him and his entire clinic.

Better than my other doc

I went to another bone doctor who told me I needed a knee replacement. Dr. Kirschenbaum went over all my x-rays very carefully showing me why a knee replacement was not going to help with. This was great news!

Now I am on medications and getting an injection and it's working.

Now my other knee

Many years ago, Dr. K did a partial knee replacement on my right knee. That knee is doing great. I just saw him for my left knee. I was really afraid that I was going to k=need a replacement again because even though I did so well I don't like the idea of surgery.

After an x-ray Dr K told me I did not need a knee replacement and I am being treated differently.

Success for many years

I had both of my knee replacements done by Dr. K many years ago and just say him for a follow-up appointment. They are doing so great. I have no pain and he told me the x-rays look like the day he put the knee replacements in. I am really grateful that I chose him as my surgeon.

Total trust

I saw Dr. Kirschenbaum for problems with an operation done by someone else. He really explained my situation well and put together a plan that got me on the right track.

Helped me with my shoulder and knee

I read reviews and thought this doctor would be okay for me. He was great. I had two problems. My shoulder and my knee. He really spent time with me asking me questions and examining me. I don't think there are a lot of doctors who spend this much time with patients and care like he does. Also =, the other doctors in his group are great.

First time- Great!

I went to see Dr. Kirschenbaum because I had pain in both of my knees. I am only 51 and did not want surgery. He examined me and had x-ray right in the office. He showed me I had arthritis but explained to me that there were a lot of things we could do to avoid surgery. He started me on a plan that I am really glad about.

A lot of problems solved

I have a lot of problems with my body. I have rheumatoid arthritis and it hurts in my hands and my spine. Even though Dr. Kirschenbaum primarily treats hips and knees he examined all my joints and set me up with other doctors in the office for treatment. It was a pleasure meeting him and glad he put my case together like that

I have a special problem he helped with

Not many people have rheumatoid arthritis. I do and Dr. K really knew a lot about how different treatments can help me. He treated the arthritis I had in his specialty and sent me to hid hand surgeon for that. I am so glad they have so many =good doctors there.

Putting me back together

My hip surgery was done by another doctor

I am not doing well and went to Dr. Kirschenbaum. He carefully did a whole bunch of tests and we figured out what was wrong.

I do need a second surgery but I am finally glad that someone spent the time to figure out what was wrong and recommend a solution.

I like him and his office and look forward to getting better.
