Highly recommend Dr. Kirschenbaum. I am a pianist. I went to Dr. Kirschenbaum in tremendous pain after sustaining an injury. The entire experience was professional, thorough, and reassuring. His office staff is responsive and caring. My restored hand reflects Dr. Kirschenbaum's expertise and surgical skills.

Orthopedic Surgeon/Hand specialist: Highly focused on the task at hand but thoughtful and concerned in me as a person. Outstandingly knowledgeable in the procedure (joint replacement) and thorough in his follow up. Referred me to excellent occupational Therapy Group. This was a very good experience. Very kind.

Dr Kirschenbaum is top in his field of Orthopaedic Surgery. He is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to upper extremity issues and hand disorders. He was very thorough throughout each and every examination and explains everything in great detail. He gave me his full attention at all times. His staff members are very patient and extremely courteous. Every time I called the office my questions were answered immediately. Every doctor should be like Dr. Kirschenbaum.
