I happened upon this man by accident in 1989 when I ripped my knee apart at work. From 1989 to 2003...this surgeon repaired my right knee(back to work in 5 weeks)...left quadricep rupture(back to work 4 months)...L5S1 discectomy and laminectomy(back to work in about 3-4 months at about 75-80%). I put this surgeon next to God and would recommend him to anyone !!! To all those people who put negative reviews...I would question your personal commitment to wanting to return to work. That was very important even though I was receiving workman's comp. You have to be AGGRESSIVE during your physical therapy and COMMITTED on YOUR part. The surgeon did his part and I was back to my rigorous law enforcement job much quicker than normal recovery times.

I sued Skolnick after he operated on my fractured leg, it became infected and two other doctors, one a professor of orthopaedic surgery at University of Pennsylvania told me I may lose my leg.I found Skolnick incompetent, arrogant and totally dishonest. I would not send my worst enemy to him.

skolnick operated on me when my INR was 3.18, when it should have been at least 1.8 minimum. I was out 6 months instead of 4 weeks. BAD DOCTOR. HE GOT NOT EVEN A SLAP ON THE WRIST.
