Patient Testimonials

I can understand how people feel about waiting for dr buchalter, however I have never had a physician spend as much time with me. It seems as though he is never rushed and always answers all my questions. My hip, done at HSS failed, and dr. Buchalter reconstructed it. I am now pain free and back to playing tennis! His secretary Fran, is a pleasure and his PA Ben always helpful.

I can't possibly say enough good things!
I have seen Dr. Buchalter for over 20 years and he has performed numerous surgeries on me all of which have been successful and complication free! He is literally the BEST doctor I have ever seen! He is totally thorough and, amazingly, will refer you to someone else if he thinks they have more experience in a certain area or procedure. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

My personal experience with Dr. Buchalter exceeded all my expectations and then some!! Please let me explain: Although I have worked in the healthcare field for many many years, and was well aware of his exceptional reputation, I had no idea that when I started this process with Dr. Buchalter that I was going to have such a (crazy to say this) thorough & pleasant experience from beginning to end. I had a Right Total Hip Replacement on Thursday 5/25/23 & although I do know it’s NOT typical, by Saturday the 25th (2 days later), I was out tag sale shopping… I was not out for hours but I was taking it slow with a friend driving from place to place and enjoying my afternoon out!! By Monday, I was NOT using a walker or cane and I was quite mobile even going up & down stairs which I have in my home. I was so grateful to have had this surgery because I was in such a great deal of pain prior to it & he told me after seeing the MRI & x-rays that my arthritis was quite severe and he understood why I was in so much discomfort and pain. When I went for my 1st post op visit with no cane/walker and wearing a pair of jeans he was quite surprised and appeared to be very happy!! I do want to mention once again that I don’t believe this is always the case with many people but I am a VERY petite person: I’m 5’ 1/2” & approximately 92-94lbs I believe this helped a great deal BUT the biggest factor in my recovery process was the fact that I was cautious but walked as much as I possibly could day in & day out! I would climb up and down steps slowly until I was tired but didn’t “kill” myself when doing so and I stretched as much as I could without hurting myself or anything that was done to me regarding the surgery that was performed!! I listened to EVERYTHING the doctor and the PA’s recommended for me to do and I feel like I’m at about 90% back to normal!! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Buchalter and his team for “fixing” me and making me feel like my old self again- 1 month post-op!!

From 1- 10, I give him 15. He's exceptional.
His knowledge, his caring, his humanity, He has performed 7 surgeries on me, all of which have been successful. He cares about me as a person. I care about him.

I have used him for both my full hip replacements
He did a great job and did so for my husband too. He is warm, charming and very skilled. His facility in Danbury is a perfect environment to have the procedure and recover in.
