Dr. David Lent, MD

Dr Lent came in after looking at X-ray & not examining me, pushing partial knee replacementwhich he boasted he is 'expert at.'This despite my having zero pain.

Just had total knee replacement done by dr lent. Walking around two weeks later with minimal pain. This is my second surgery done by him both with great results.

Dr. Lent is direct, friendly, attentive (although speedy) and above all does Excellent work. He tells you honestly what might be benefits of a procedure and what might not. He did two knee surgeries for me, the first was a meniscus tear & the second a patella replacement. I had excellent outcomes with both. He is associated with St. John's Riverside which has lovely facilities with strong nursing staffs. He also took me within one day of my need to be seen, immediately ordered MRI to confirm diagnosis on meniscus, and scheduled surgery within two weeks. The knee cap replacement which was more significant surgery became necessary when my knee cap literally became disjointed. He once again got me in quickly to help minimize the pain I had to live with before surgery. I am walking better now than I have in over 10 years. Deeply grateful

Dr. Lent is a kind, compassionate surgeon who takes the time to explain all your options and answer all your questions, both for the patient and the family. He has flexible office hours and multiple convenient locations. His front office staff are polite and friendly and the office and public restrooms are always neat and clean. It's always easy to get an appointment.

I have been a patient of Dr Lent for many years. He continues to be an outstanding and knowledgeable doctor/surgeon. His expertise in mako robotic surgery is extraordinary. He is a caring and dedicated physician.

Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I saw Dr. Lent for a ankle sprain, I could hardly walk as it was severely swollen, he took great care of my placed me in a ankle brace told be to ice and elevate it to keep it moving, saw him again in 1 week and he reexamined me and said the ankle looked good, great range of motion and I no longer needed the brace. I actually skipped out of the office a very happy person. Can't say enough about his staff they are truly great girls, so professional, not like other doctors office I have been to.

I went to see him for wrist fracture, it was set the same day I had the cast on for 6 weeks, the staff was wonderful they took great care in getting me into a room and I did not have to wait long as I was in severe pain with the right wrist. Dr. Lent was very gentle when he set my wrist back into place that I hardly felt anything. Wonderful doctor, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!!!!!!

Went to see Dr. Lent for a Workers Compensation case injury I work for the City of Yonkers, had injured my Right Shoulder, he is the doctor to go to for shoulder pain, He examined me and knew that I had a tear in my shoulder told his Workers Compensation specialist that I needed a MRI within 2 hours I had it booked, they do no fool around in that office they get things done when the doctor tells them, Mri positive, having surgery can't wait to feel better again, Highly recommend the Dr.Lent and his staff so professional and sweet.

Excellent doctor such patience went there for knee pain he sent me for MRI and came back positive for tear set up for surgery, The surgical girl is excellent explained everything in detail that was going to happen. Love Dr. Lent and his staff very attentive.

Surgeon Par Excellence. Truly personable and competent. I have great trust in his ability because in my opinion he did miracles on my knee.

I had a torn rotator cuff. He operated on me, and did an excellent job. he was attentive to my needs, and I feel like he treated me with the upmost care.

I had spine pain and had an MRI of my back which I brought with me. He insisted I have 4 or 5 x-rays taken and wouldn't even look at the MRI. Unethical. Should've refused. What a moneymaking racket. He dismissed me as saying I was too young to have any problems despite being in my thirties and having a couple of severe falls under my belt. This after only looking at x-rays and no further exploration. Imo, unethical, unhelpful and dismissive means you are a very bad doctor.

My 16 year-old daughter saw Dr Lent for her ACL replacement and meniscus repair after a fall. She is a competitive soccer player and it was important to her that she be able to continue to play at a high level after recovery. He thoroughly gave all the details of the type of surgery she would be best for her and also for the position she plays. He was upbeat, reassuring and always positive. She trusted him and my husband and I did. The surgery went smoothly. Her recovery was quick and complete.

Great doctor! Need not say anymore! Only one thing...sometimes the wait to see him is too long, cause he's so popular! Or they over book.

I went to see Dr. Lent for hip, shoulder and knee pain. I was not examined at all. Instead I was told to see a rheumatologist, because I was "too young" to be having all this joint pain, despite being an athlete. After visiting another doctor who did examine me and order MRIs it turns out that almost half of my labrum in my hip is torn, my kneecap is worn down, and I have a cervical spine issue causing pain in my shoulder. What a waste!

Dr Lent is a good doctor. His office staff at the front desk needs an attitude adjustment. The bleach blonde who has to take care of your doctor notes for your insurance especially!! It is like you are bothering them when you ask them to do there job!! It's sad because the surgical coordinator and their Workmen's Comp. insurance coordinator are fantastic. It's a shame their frontline people in their office are the ones with the attitude

My experience with Dr. David Lent is Excellent. Highly compassionate and highly competent. He did surgery on my left knee and I will be grateful to him for the rest of my life..
