Leon E. Popovitz, MD

Fantastic experience! I live overseas and so only had one week to get a full assessment done. The Dr. and staff were great! I was able to get the x-rays, MRI, diagnosis and follow-up appointment all accomplished in that week. They worked with my insurance and made it all happen. Dr. Popovitz was very friendly, attentive and listened to my concerns. I have a full treatment plan that I can follow now that I have returned home with the assurance that I can call for a consult any time. Thank you!

Dr. Popovitz and his staff were outstanding - I couldn't have asked for a better overall experience, from consultation to the surgery itself, and through the follow up. Thank you so much.

This is probably one of the best orthopedic surgeon in NYC.
Dr Leon Popovitz was wonderful. He's very knowledgeable, attentive and kind. I had an ACL reconstruction surgery.
My surgery went great. I am feeling so happy now that I can get back to my life and be pain free. Moreover, I am already back to the gym!!!! Thank you Dr Popovitz!!!

In addition, the staff is polite and professional. I have never felt rushed at all. I would definitely recommend him to family, friends any person who has an orthopedic concern.

Partially torn labrum was Dr. Popovitz's diagnosis when I finally got an MRI for an old nagging pain in my left shoulder; pain that would turn into agonizing discomfort every time I tried to lift anything north of 5lbs. Several consultations later, and I was set for an elective labral repair surgery, which was preceded by a calming assurance from Dr. Popovitz that he will take good care of me...Words of comfort seldom turn into sustained acts of nurture, but Dr. Popovitz and his PT team have a way of turning cynics into believers.

During the last 7 1/2 months of my recovery I would meet with Dr. Popovitz regularly to discuss my progress. In post-operative state, that is a constant "two steps forward one step back" game. It's a time filled with hope, excitement, fear, hesitation and reacquainting with your own body; a full spectrum of emotions that Dr. Popovitz made manageable to navigate. Over time, I found all of my on-going concerns (and when you heal - there are plenty) expertly explained away by Dr. Popovitz. He would do so with encouragement and trust instilling confidence, not to mention enduring patience. He also would maintain continuous dialogue with his team of PT's who always found new ways to challenge me to strengthen and excel. The PT staff deserves an honorable mention to say the least. I have never in my life encountered a group of consummate professionals working so well together in the name of rehabilitative excellence. Their commitment to individual improvement is genuine and unwavering.

Well, back to life. I am only 7 1/2 months out and have been going to gym full time for the past 2 months. Although I'm still cautious about certain exercises, I find a great deal of comfort in knowing that the possibilities are mine to test, painlessly. Recovering from a shoulder surgery is a long and arduous road, a journey that thusfar has been an educational and humbling experience, as well as a precious opportunity to develop and solidify faith in those who truly heal.

My gratitude to Dr. Popovitz and his staff is eternal.

Also huge thanks to Jake, Jason, Brandon, Carlos, Cecilia, Helen, Melanie, the most flexible front desk staff in NYC, and everyone else I haven't mentioned.

Dr Popovitz and his team are excellent! Both of my knees had meniscus tears, one year after the next the second time I was on the verge of tears as I did not want to have a second Arthroscopic knee surgery procedure. Dr Popovitz very patiently exlpained my options and left the decision whether to have the surgery up to me. Chris and Lynn part of his team both listen and patiently answer questions and concerns while 'injecting' some humor at times.I so appreciate all that has been and continues to be done for my care,my second surgery was last month. The team of physical therapist play an important role in strength and recovery both pre and post surgery. I have recommended four people with knee pain or joint pain concerns to Dr. Popovitz and his team. Whenever I am asked where I had my treatment I pull my phone out and give the number and say call you will not regret it - you are guranteed an excellent service.
