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.
