Dr. Zilberfarb is always outstanding. He always tries to help the patient even difficult ones like myself. I appreciate him, he also has a wonderful wife with the coolest name I've heard in years… And when I know people that need a great surgeon, I always recommend him.

I saw Dr Zilberfarb early November this year. He was referred by a few great friends I’ve known for years. I was extremely impressed with his professionalism, expertise and ability to explain to me what was going on with my knee MRI in a way that made sense to me. Extremely helpful and will see him again for shoulder and f/up. Highly recommend.

Dr. Zilberfarb saw me at my appointed time, reviewed with me the X-rays taken of my condition, suggested a sequence of treatments, and made referrals to physical therapists and other medical providers. I left convinced my treatment was in good hands.
