Terrible doctor, sides with employers despite what patients tell him. Doesn’t care to listen about concerns. If a patient says he has pain, and you can figure it out, you look harder. Honestly, just quit. 19 years ago this man couldn’t even do his own job .

Dr. Feiwell replaced my left knee 8 years ago and I couldn't be happier with the results! He is an excellent, very exacting surgeon. And contrary to other comments here, he always treated me with respect.

My mom was having horrible knee pain and Feiwell decided to do some type of knee surgery. He was completely rude to me and my mom when we tried to ask him any type of question about the procedure. Anyway, her knee pain has continued until now a whole year after the knee surgery Feiwell did so my mom finally went to someone else for a second opinion only to be told that Feiwell should not have even bothered with the arthroscopy and did not prescribe her appropriate medication. Very disappointed.

Professional, thorough, communicates well with patient and partners with patient for the best overall treatment. Does not waste patients time.

Dr. Feiwell is straight and to the point, no non sense. Like most orthopedic surgeons, they don't feel Pain...and now neither do I! Thank you again!

This guy is a joke. He would not listen to my questions or concerns. He did not review or have access to my MRI. His solution was a cortisone shot. Dont waste your time folks; I should have listened to his ratings before I scheduled my appointment.

This doctor has the worse bedside manner and is suppose to be an equal liason for clients and doctors. He is so bias towards patients, doesn't listen to their problems, rude, disrespectful, and does not care about them. I wouldn't send my dog to him
