No surgery!

I went to other doctors who said to have surgery. Dr. Kirschenbaum got a new MRI and I did not need surgery and I am feeling good.

Spent time, really good

I came with a very hard problem to understand and he explained it to me very well. There is no question that he enjoys speaking to patients and helping them. He helped me a lot where others did not understand my problem. I am keeping him as my doctor.

Good with difficult problem

I went to Dr. Kirschenbaum because I had a bad problem with my hip and both my knees. I saw other doctors and they were not like him. He spent a lot of time with me and I now know what I have. He set me up with treatment and I know I will get better.

My hip

I went to a lot of other doctors before I saw him. They were not sure what to do and he reviewed my case really good. When the visit was finished I had a plan which was great. I am going to have my hip replaced and get out of pain. I liked him a lot. He spent time with me and talked to me about everything I needed to know. Thank you!

Great visit! Long-time patient.

Dr. K operated on my knee a few years ago so when I had pain in my other knee there was no one else I was going to. He he so good. He spent an awesome amount of time with me and explained everything completely.

I Don;t need surgery now. He put to together a plan for me to avoid that. I really appreciated it.

Thank you.

Was Very clear in explanations

I had knee pain for a long time. Dr. K took the time to do all the necessary tests to make sure he made the right diagnosis. Other doctors did not give me that much attention. What he told me, in the end, was 100% correct. This is the best I can ask for.

Great office

The office is so nice. There are not a lot of good offices in my area and the people in the front and the assistants in the back were helpful. Dr. K got an MRI on my knee. I may need surgery but the surgeons in the practice 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.

My knees are better now

I showed up at a lot of different clinics and this was the best. The doctor saw me right away and knew my problem was knee arthritis. I was happy when he told me I did not need surgery. I am taking medications and sometimes get injections. I really am glad I started here,

Surgery later

I am too heavy for knee replacement but Dr. K (it seems everyone calls him that) is staying with me and very concerned about my weight. He brings me back to check and soon I will be ready to get my knees replaced. He really cares.

Treating my knee pain without surgery

Good doctor. He worked with me a long time to help get rid of my knee pain from arthritis without surgery, This is good for me because I can't have surgery now. He uses a new type of injection for the pain in the knee.

My Knee

My right knee, it has been bad for a long time. I don't know why and went to see Dr. K at a new clinic connected to the hospital.
He showed me all the problems I had with my knee and it all finally made sense why I was having trouble walking.
I am seeing another doctor at the hospital, Dr. Huang, who works with him so that I can get my knee replaced. I am thankful they are all there.

Very complete in the visit and the care later

I went to this doctor because my regular doctor sent me to him. I did not know what to expect. The wait time was a little long, about 30 minutes and I did not like that. When I finally saw him I was really surprised how much time he spent with me and how careful his questions were. I had my hip problem for a long time and a lot of doctors did not make the right diagnosis. I really am glad I stayed and went to this visit.

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.
