I recommend Dr Stein most highly.
I have run for years and years on my knees and after having had meniscus surgery done on both knees - one by Dr Stein and one by another Dr - I can tell you that the care I received from him and his office staff was remarkable.
Quite frankly I believe the terrific job he did on the surgery...
I am a current patient of Dr. Stein's and consider myself to be very lucky! Approximately a month ago I had a compound arm fracture and dislocated my elbow. It required emergency surgery which Dr. Stein and his team at NYU performed on a Sunday. They were all incredible, and my arm is healing perfectly.
Let me...
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...

Steroids are widely known as a performance enhancing drug with many negative side effects. Typically, steroids are used by athletes to increase muscle mass and endurance. This clip from CBS News highlights the negative effects of steroids on both users and adolescents who idolize the athletes who use them.
In this video, Dr. Drew Stein explains how adolescents are being affected by steroid use. When young people look up to athletes who are using these kinds of drugs, they often follow in their footsteps. This can cause a variety of problems both physically and mentally. While there is no verifiable link between suicide among teenagers and steroid use, Dr. Stein says that the evidence strongly points toward a connection. He also warns parents of signs to look for if they suspect their teen may be using steroids.

Patients who have suffered severe bone, tendon, or ligament injuries often deal with chronic pain and lack of mobility for long periods of time after their injury occurred. However, a recent medical treatment known as Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) may be able to help speed recovery and reduce pain in such injuries. For this reason, PRP injections are being used by many doctors and orthopedic surgeons nationwide. Read on to learn more about PRP injections and how they can help you.
What is PRP?
PRP injections are created by taking a small amount of blood from the patient and placing it into a centrifuge. The centrifuge then separates the plasma and platelets from the rest of the blood. The physician or orthopedic surgeon then extracts the platelet-rich portion of the blood and injects it into the injured area.
What does PRP do?
Once PRP is injected into the injury site, the growth factors, or substances that speed and promote healing, are concentrated up to 500% higher than normal. These growth factors cause slight inflammation that speeds the healing process within the body by promoting collagen growth. With the help of the new collagen, ligaments, muscles, and other areas begin tightening and repairing themselves at much faster rates than normal.
What Can PRP Be Used For?
PRP injection therapy can be used to treat many common overuse conditions, including Achilles tendonitis, rotator cuff tendonitis, tennis elbow, patellar tendonitis, and more. If you have sustained a sports injury, contact your orthopedic surgeon to determine whether PRP injection therapy is the most appropriate treatment for your injury.
