Provided by Doctor.comI have never had a bad experience with Dr. Kirschenbaum. He is very informed and explains everything that is going on with my knee. I am happy he is my doctor.

Provided by Doctor.comSince I have been dealing with his practice I have had good progress and feel much better with my hip. I did my research before I got here and everyone is great. I have been a patient for almost 10 years.

Provided by Doctor.comI 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.

Provided by Doctor.comThe 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.

Provided by Doctor.comI 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.

Provided by Doctor.comI have a bum hip. I went to a lot of doctors and this is the first one who really explained to me why I had to lose weight before the s=hip surgery. He gave me a slot of advice.

Provided by Doctor.comI went to Dr. K for a second opinion because another doctor told me I did not need surgery. I thought this was all wrong and Dr. K agreed. He took x-rays of me standing up and showed me how bad my knees were.
He did tell me that the decision to have surgery was all mine and depended on the amount of pain I was having daily and also whether or not I can do what I want to do. Since I can't even walk more than 1 block this was not a hard decision.

Provided by Doctor.comI always love it when I read about the good things other people are saying about Dr. K! I met him almost 10 years ago when he first came to my hospital in the Bronx. He replaced my right knee and has taken care of so many other body parts, I almost can;t count. Glad I met him.

Provided by Doctor.comDr. Kirschenbaum replaced both of my hips. The first in 2013 and the second in 2014. I can;t say enough how great a job he did. I have no pain and I am walking so much.

Provided by Doctor.comI am very thankful he was there for me in the community. I has severe pain in my knee and he got all the tests quickly. I am feeling better after this.
08/27/19
Provided by Doctor.comI was walking around with severe hip pain and he told me what I had- bursitis. He treated it and now it is gone. I went to many docs before him and no one could figure it out. Also the staff in the clinic is so helpful.
07/24/19
Provided by Doctor.comI have many medical problems and this was the first doctor who took his time with me to really help me, which he did. I know he mainly treats hips and knees but he knew a lot about my back pain which was good.
08/27/19
Provided by Doctor.comI went to him and I knew I needed knee replacements but I thought I had more time before the surgery. Looks like I did. He really spent time going over my x-rays and choices for treatment. I am continuing to avoid surgery and feel so much better.

Provided by Doctor.comFor three years I was bounced around pain management clinics for my hip pain until someone recommended Dr. Kirschenbaum. I sent to him and after x-rays, he immediately made the diagnosis of hip arthritis. He told me I can go for a hip replacement and it would get rid of my pain. He knows a lot and is caring in the office.

Provided by Doctor.comI had a leg injury and was treated at another hospital. My general doctor sent me to this doctor. I kind of waited in the office for a long time to see him but I know I was added onto his schedule. I almost left but glad I stayed. He knew exactly what was wrong and go me going the right way.

Provided by Doctor.comDr. Kirschenbaum, I call him Dr. K, replaced my hip many years ago. I have had such a good result and continue to be his patient (because I have other things). Great doctor and surgeon.

Provided by Doctor.comI saw him in a clinic near his hospital. The hospital, I think, runs this clinic in Washington Heights. I had a thumb injury. He knew exactly what I had, even though I found out later he really is a hip and knee expert. Looks like he knows a lot more because he got me right to a hand doctor to fix my problem. Thank you.
