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.

Knee pain
He suggested several less invasive ideas rather than do surgery first. He did a great job on my first knee so I trust his judgment on the treatment for my second knee.

Dr. Greenly is such a kind compassionate Dr that answered all my concerns. I go in with knee joint pain and feel so so so much better when I leave! He’s my savior. I would highly recommend him to any one with joint pain or attention needed in the area of his expertise.

100% I will recommend Dr Max Greenky.
I couldn’t walk and my pain was unbearable and nothing helped. I couldn’t sleep at night either. My hip in Dr. Greenky’s words was “a mess”. Surgery was a complete right hip replacement. I came home after surgery the same day with 72 hours of family and friends to stay with me. I had NO “pain” afterwards. I was sore and the site of incision was tender. It has been 2 weeks and I walk quite smoothly without a walker or a cane or any help and pain free. Honestly, Dr. Max Greenky has a God given gift! Don’t think twice about choosing him. He will personally call you the evening before your surgery to address any concerns or fears you may have. Thank you so very much!

Super Doctor, Super Guy !!!
Headed for my second knee replacement. Dr. Max took his time and ask ed questions about my knee history. He explained the procedure in detail and made suggestions for me when I get home. Dr. Max even gave me his personal hot line number to use if I run into any problems or concerns. The SOS staff at my visit were all friendly and greeted me with a big smile and treated me with the utmost care and concern. I would recommend Dr. Max to anyone who may have any orthopedic concern.James P. NashAuburn, NY

I would not recommend Dr Greenky
He gave me about 5 minutes of his time if that he did not explain any thing and I felt I was rushed out of my appointment that I waited over an hour to see him for I will need to find a new doctor just to explain what is going on with my knee and I need to do to live with my condition.

Excellent Joint replacement surgeon
Dr. Max has a wonderful beside manner and truly cares about helping his patients achieve better mobility conditions. I had a total hip replacement with excellent results. Dr. Max is friendly and will answer any questions you have without rushing you. I will be having him do my knee replacement in the future. His office staff are also very friendly and helpful.

Excellent experience
Dr. Greenkey and his whole staff were wonderful and very helpful from beginning of my first visit. I suffered from severe leg pain for close to a year and within 3 weeks of my first visit I had a new hip. Leg pain gone. I was able to come home the same day of my surgery. Dr. Greenkey and SOS staff have checked up on me via phone calls and have been very helpful. I totally recommend Dr. Greenkey and SOS for any orthopedic procedures.
