Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

The Best
Dr Fletcher and Dr Abraham are the best! They really listen to you, answer all your questions and concerns. They even give you good advice. My spouse had a leg that was bowed in as hit by a car, Dr Abraham replaced both knees and hips !

My bilateral hip replacement with Dr. Fletcher
I met Dr. Fletcher when I was told I needed both my hips replaced. Because I live alone, arranging for one, much less two, surgeries would be challenging. As Dr. Fletcher and I compared schedules, I asked if he could do both at once. He paused for a moment, said he had done two at once in the past and felt I was a good candidate for that procedure. My surgery was quick and easy for me and three days later I walked a leisurely 2 miles with zero difficulty. His demeanor while in the office is kind and responsive. Many of his colleagues could learn from him!

'The Best'
Dr Fletcher completed a total hip replacement on me two years ago. His communication skills are to be modeled as he is clear calm and is able to explain options, the procedure and the plan of care with expertise and kindness. I am very active as a cyclist and ski instructor and he included me every step of the way in planning how to get me back to full activity. I am so thankful and appreciative. The orthopedic team approaches the care to address each detail from pre-op to post-op I had recommendations and they were received with respect and caring. I have recommended several friends and family to the OrthoPedic NY Practice and will request their services as required.

Skilled, Kind, Listens and Communicates Carefully
No one minds the 90-minute wait to see Dr. Fletcher. He is attentive, kind, highly skilled and we know we are in the care of a master surgeon. My knee is fabulous. I Thankfully move with ease and joy. And I know several who have expressed the same gratefulness for Dr. Fletcher's care.

Very patient friendly
I had my left knee and left hip replaced by Dr. Fletcher. He always answers all my questions, listens to my concerns and explains what I can expect. Both procedures went very well. His staff is excellent and they take great care of you before and after surgery. I’m now at the stage that I will have yearly follow up appointments. My right hip also has arthritis but no significant pain at this time.

Discussed Right knee and scheduling surgery
Dr. Fletcher was very thorough checking and discussing both knees. Having had surgery for left, we discussed surgery for the right knee and time. Hoping to schedule for spring of 25, we discussed it and he administered a Cortisone shot on right knee, which has certainly helped my mobility and working the right knee. Was an outstanding quickly scheduled appointment.
