Drew Stein, MD- Orthopedic Surgeon Specializing in Sports Medicine

Dr. Stein is quite an impressive physician.  I have had the honor, as an Athletic Trainer, to rehabilitate many of his patients.  The rehabilitating process can be long and grueling, especially depending on the surgeon's finesse.  I have rehabilitated patients that have undergone orthopedic surgeries from well known surgeons in well known hospitals within NYC.  The patients' outcomes were always variable.  Every patient sent to me from Dr. Stein had a smooth and seamless recovery.  It is rare, unique, and commendable to maintain such consistent outcomes with such a variety of patients. 
Dr. Stein's office is opulent without being pretentious and the staff is warm, inviting, and genuine.  He is a quick thinker and won't waste your time if you're a busy New Yorker; however, he has been known to take time with patients during their appointment to ensure the patient has proper understanding of procedures and is comfortable with their options.  Dr. Stein answers questions thoroughly and clearly in an unassuming manner.
I have had to call upon Dr. Stein many times over the past 3 years for friends and even myself.  Whenever a friend sustains an orthopedic injury, they tend to call me to ask what to do next and I immediately tell them to call Dr. Stein because I know he is the most reliable, accommodating, and honest physician in NYC.  I sustained a leg fracture in which I was told I needed surgery by an emergency room doctor.  Before agreeing, I insisted on seeing Dr. Stein.  Despite being a surgeon, I had been advised by Dr. Stein to NOT undergo surgery!   Since then, my leg has healed to perfection, thanks to his guidance. 

It is with the utmost honor and respect that I highly recommend Dr. Stein to anyone with a questionable orthopedic injury.

Dr. Stein quickly diagnosed my problem and after following protocol for shoulder bursitis for several weeks (ice, anti-inflammatory), he gave me a shot in the shoulder. I was very hesitant, but he was very reassuring and competent. It is now about 2 months after the shot and my shoulder is perfect! I would go back to him and/or recommend him for anyone with an orthopedic injury.

I saw Dr. Stein on a friend's recommendation after I tore my ACL, MCL, and meniscus. At my first visit, Dr. Stein did a couple push tests to get a first impression of what my injury might be, then immediately sent me in for an MRI. At each successive visit, both pre and post-surgery, Dr. Stein and his PA, Dana, were exceptionally professional, efficient, and friendly. I've been seen on time or early at all but one appointment, and I've always felt like Dr. Stein and Dana were both happy to take the time to address any questions that I had.

Dr. Stein took the time to explain my treatment options (including forgoing surgery and simply going straight into PT) and their accompanying pros and cons. I opted for surgery, which went extremely well. I've known a number of other people with this injury, none of whom have had as smooth or quick a surgery and recovery process as I have. Each person's body is different, so comparing one person's injury to another can be problematic, but I've honestly been very impressed with how smooth my surgery and recovery processes have been with Dr. Stein.

What a great doctor! Being a runner for years and training for a marathon I really hurt my knee bad this time! It was so frustrating to have come to such a road block during my training. But just one year after my surgery with Dr. Stein, I am running 10 plus miles and getting ready for the big race. Not only was I impressed with my recovery, but he put me at ease before surgery and really took the time to answer all my questions. Thank you Dr. Stein!
