Hand Surgeons who are Physicians - Rockaway, NJ

"Great doc. Treats patients like family"

"Entering the hospital building felt a bit nerve-wracking at first. However, as soon as I approached the check-in counter, I was greeted warmly by a friendly receptionist with a reassuring smile. She shared that she herself was a patient of Dr. A. Ylenia Giuffrida for treatment of her hands, which immediately eased my nerves. The other staff members who assisted me in preparation were equally kind and helpful. When I finally met Dr. Giuffrida, she introduced herself in a calm yet confident manner, accompanied by a gentle smile. She quickly grasped the condition of my thumb and diagnosed it as a trigger finger. Using a plastic model of the hand bone structure, she provided a detailed explanation and answered all my questions with professionalism and clarity, without any hint of impatience. Dr. Giuffrida administered a small but effective steroid injection, assuring me that I would start feeling better within a few days (I already feel much improved overnight). I am incredibly pleased with the outcome! Thank you, Dr. Giuffrida, for your expertise and care."

"My pinky was broken in 3 places; after doctor Z surgery and months of PT, I was able to restore 95% mobility. He was supportive during that period, provided clear instructions at every stage of the process."

"I have only GREAT things to say about Dr. Fox. He did both my hands for Carpal Tunnel. Its been a few years and it was the best procedure. I had no complications and after the healing process which was about 4 weeks, I was cured of numbness, pain and my hands feel awesome. I had both hands done, one at a time."

"The doctor and 2 others entered the room with no introductions. There was limited explanation and he even said I can't run a medical seminar when I asked what carpel tunnel is (and he's a hand specialist). He did not offer a solution and made me feel rushed to leave. This experience made me feel like a lab rat and the doctor was just checking a box by speaking to me as little as possible. Other doctors spend time trying to understand the issue and find a solution for the patient, offer advice, and generally provide care. Dr. Hausman did the bare minimum and I would definitely not return or recommend anyone visit him for their healthcare needs."

"Went to Dr. Mackessy at the recommendation of my primary care doc for some persistent pain in my hand. Dr. Mackessy was very personable and really showed an interest getting me healed. Thanks to him, I'm on the right track now."

"Dr. Bullek has been taking care of my orthopedic problem since he did my knee arthroscopic surgery in 2017 and I like how he speaks to the patients and he makes you comfortable. He is a funny man and very well like physician. I am recommending him to any patients who has orthopedic problems. "

"this review pertains to dr.pyo's surgery practice at the morristoown, nj hospital, not his private practice, hence certain lack of info given by me on his staff, office, etc... dr. pyo pretty much literally saved my life [i had a severe hip bone infection from a bed sore gone too far] when i was on a threshold of sepsis... he operated on me and amputated part of my hip bone at the very last moment, on extremely short notice, when all other surgeons refused to... i'm a quadriplegic who is a long time smoker [i've smoked since the age of 9, now 49 and unable to quit despite desperately and repeatedly trying] and on medicare/medicaid... every other surgeon i've seen at the time declined the surgery because they said that smokers only have a less than 30% chance of success following such a complicated procedure [the infected part of bone is amputated then the thigh muscle is wrapped/stapled or sewn around that space] and they don't want to take that chance with medicaid... the hospital, on behalf of dr. pyo [after i've seen another physician from the same hospital and my case was apparently referred to dr. pyo] called me barely a week after my appointment and told me he wants me admitted and on the operating table asap, within a couple of days... it was done and he performed the procedure on me... there were no post-op complications whatsoever and his work healed and 'the flap wrap' is holding up beautifully... this was done in early july 2011 and it is now mid-may 2015... i shall be forever grateful to dr. pyo for doing this against all odds regardless of whether eventually that hip might become worse once again or not eventually [given my deteriorating physical status as a long term quad i'm always at an ever increasing risk for such], because thanks to him i got a new lease on life when everyone else, myself included, gave up on me... and so is my mother btw who diligently transported me to various facilities/appointments all over the tri-state area seeking help for me; until we finally came upon dr. pyo... from what i know, dr.pyo also regularly takes some months off from his regular practice and travels to poorer countries performing pro bono reconstructive procedures, correcting deformities, et alia, especially on afflicted children... he might be a brilliant and talented plastic surgeon to many adults who simply require a 'beauty enhancement' but as far as i'm concerned, he's a remarkable human being as well with a great heart and soul... thank you so very much doctor... incidentally, it is very difficult for me to type therefore i've typed this up straight from my heart and will copy/paste into my reviews on any other review sites for physicians i can find, along with my perfect rating..."
