  • “I fell at work and needed to see an ortho doc ASAP. I was able to get an appointment with Dr. Schneider within 40 minutes. Every person I have encountered has been friendly and courteous. I am very pleased with the care and attention I have received. Dr. Schneider is the best.”

  • “I fractured my right ankle in January of 2015 on black ice requiring surgery. Fortunately, I was able to get an appointment within a day or two with Dr. Lisella after being treated and casted in the ER. My fall and injury was not a pleasant experience, however, my experience at The Bone & Joint Center, their surgical center, and with Dr. Lisella was a great experience. Dr. Lisella and the staff were very attentive and professional and their Ambulatory Surgical Center was top notch and very efficient in all aspects.  The following September, I had a fall while traveling in Colorado, which resulted in a fracture of my left ankle. I was able to communicate with Dr. Lisella regarding my injury and was able to set up an appointment immediately and flew home the day after the injury. The care and concern I have received during these two injuries was excellent, and I am so glad that I chose The Bone & Joint Center and Dr. Jordan Lisella.”

  • “I have arthritis in my left foot in the area of my large toe knuckle. I was told by my podiatrist that I should stay away from surgery if possible. I had such pain in my large toe knuckle that is was limiting my walking. It pained a lot. I was very discouraged. I was only able to wear heavy walking/hiking shoes or could not walk on it. I was very discouraged that it was going to end my hiking and outdoor exploration. I had excellent results from a shoulder surgery another of your wonderful doctors did for me in Oct. 2015 and decided to speak to him about my foot. I decided to speak to one of your foot doctors. I just cannot say enough to express my thanks for giving me back my mobility. My foot continues to improve. Dr. Bagchi did tell me it takes a long time for a foot to heal. It has been 6 months and it continues to improve. I am SO happy with the results!! I have a 3 week hiking trip planned in Montana and Wyoming this fall. I am thankful every day for what Dr. Bacghi has done for me to be able to continue to walk and be in the places I love. I also want to recognize Dr. Bagchi's nurse. She was great. I contacted her several times before and after my surgery. She was wonderful. I really appreciate all the help she gave me.  I live an hour away and am so glad I made the trip to Albany instead of going to my local  doctor. I hope I never need more surgery, but if I do, I feel safe knowing I have a great place to go for help.  If anyone who reads this thinks I am a pushover and that is why this is such a great review that could not be further from the truth. I went to a local orthopedic doctor for my shoulder and was very unhappy with his suggestions, and I revisited my then local physician for help finding someone else to take care of my shoulder and he sent me to you for my shoulder surgery. I do not take my health lightly and am very comfortable complaining or going elsewhere when I am dissatisfied. Thank you so very much.”

  • “This is my second surgery with Dr. Lisella. He is straight forward and to the point, which I like. He offers all options, but gives you an honest opinion about which option he thinks is the best for long-term results. I trust him and feel confident in his skills and abilities. I have had no issues after either surgery he performed, and the expectations he gave were right on point. My overall experience over the years with The Bone & Joint Center has been very satisfying, whether for an appointment or on-sight surgery. I have always been treated with respect and kindness and appreciate the wonderful job all of your employees perform. I have referred Dr. Lisella and your office to many friends.”

  • “I had previous knee scoped and repaired by Dr. Alley. I had a torn meniscus that he repaired, and at the time, told me I would need at least a partial knee replacement showing me during surgery the exposed bare bone. After some time and pain, he sent me to see Dr. Roberts to evaluate my knee and both agreed I have a partial knee replacement. It has been 2 weeks after surgery and I am walking without pain and so very pleased with the outcome. I still have a ways to go I know that, but already see a huge difference walking pain free without the bone-on-bone feeling, and I could not be happier with the care of these fine surgeons at The Bone & Joint Center. Thank you all so much!”

  • “This has been the best experience that my whole family has ever had. The facility was extremely clean. Staff was very knowledgable and professional along with caring for my daughter. They made her feel welcome and were very friendly. They approached her and us with kindness, knowing that we all were scared and nervous about the procedure. They made it comfortable for us to be there. I have told everyone about this experience and if they ever needed anything done that I highly recommended they go here. This staff and facility. A++. Thank you all so much for your time effort, knowledge, and kindness.”

He took the time to learn about what is hurting me and was caring, kind, and gentle. It was clear that he genuinely cares about his patients and this was refreshing after my past experiences. I highly recommend Dr. Shatynski without reservations and I'm so grateful for his help.”

  • “In October of 2014, I tore my rotator cuff lifting weights in my home gym. I put off having anything done on it for a year hoping that things would heal on their own. When that didn't happen, it was time to get medical help. Dr. Zanaros was recommended to me by a friend who is a dentist. He had torn his in a skiing accident and told me that he did a great deal of research to insure that he was going to have a positive outcome. He highly recommended Dr. Zanaros and thank God I took his recommendation seriously.  My surgery was a huge success. I had range of motion almost immediately and there was no pain associated with the surgery.  Here I am a year after surgery and my shoulder is stronger than it ever was. Thank you, Dr. Zanaros!!!”

  • “I injured my hip in December. I initially visited another practice and was disappointed in the care. The opposite is true with Dr. Das and his practice. Dr. Das has incredible compassion for his patients. He came highly recommended by my family and friends. I so appreciated the time he spent with me educating me on my injury, the remedies, and the expectations for the future. He was very thorough, but most importantly, very honest and comforting. I am so appreciative of the entire team and the organization of the office. Their knowledge and professionalism and kindness is really amazing. It is no wonder why they are so highly regarded.”
