Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

A knee that won't stop clicking, a shoulder that never quite healed right, a fracture that needs a real plan instead of a guess. We compared New York orthopedic practices with a genuine Google track record and narrowed the field to three worth calling first.

Short answer: The top pick by proven volume is City Orthopedics - Dr. Neil Mulchandani at 4.9 stars across 402 reviews, with Atlantic Orthopedics & Sports Medicine close behind at a perfect 5.0 on 98 reviews. Cost varies widely by insurance and procedure, so confirm coverage before scheduling anything beyond a consult.

City Orthopedics - Manhattan: Dr. Neil Mulchandani

4.9402 Google reviews

City Orthopedics is a Lower Manhattan and Flushing practice founded by Dr. Neil Mulchandani, a fellowship-trained, board-certified orthopedic surgeon who trained at SUNY Downstate and completed a sports medicine fellowship at Lenox Hill Hospital. The practice focuses on arthroscopic surgery and sports medicine, and reviewers describe him walking patients through decisions clearly rather than rushing to the next slot. One patient's account of a two-year recovery from a fractured kneecap and torn MPFL, including a call he took while his own child cried in the background, is the kind of detail that shows up again and again in the reviews here.

What people praise

  • A 4.9 rating across 402 reviews, the largest track record on this list
  • Reviewers describe patient, unrushed explanations before and after surgery
  • Praised for thorough post-surgical follow-up, including outside office hours
  • Handles complex reconstructive cases, not just routine visits

Worth knowing

  • Limited walk-in hours listed (Tuesday and Saturday only), so plan around the schedule

Atlantic Orthopedics & Sports Medicine

5.098 Google reviews

Atlantic Orthopedics & Sports Medicine is a Lower Manhattan practice covering orthopedics, non-operative sports medicine, pain management, podiatry, and a handful of complementary services like acupuncture, with a team of physicians, PAs, and a chiropractor. Reviewers describe getting ultrasounds and X-rays done the same visit, with results and a plan explained on the spot rather than a callback days later. One patient's fluid-buildup knee, drained the same day it was diagnosed, is a fair example of the pace reviewers describe.

What people praise

  • A perfect 5.0 rating across 98 reviews
  • Same-visit imaging and diagnostics, per multiple reviewers
  • A broad team covering sports medicine, pain management, and podiatry
  • Clean, calm office environment noted repeatedly

Worth knowing

  • A smaller review count than the top pick, so the rating rests on less data

#3

Andrew J. Feldman, MD

4.6104 Google reviews

Dr. Andrew J. Feldman is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon and clinical associate professor at NYU Langone Orthopedic Hospital, specializing in minimally invasive joint preservation and reconstructive surgery of the knee, shoulder, elbow, and ankle. He spent 14 years as head team physician and surgeon for the New York Rangers, and reviewers describe surgeries for rotator cuffs, ACL and meniscus tears, and fractures with recoveries that ran ahead of schedule. Several patients specifically credit fast turnaround from injury to MRI to surgery, sometimes within a month.

What people praise

  • A 4.6 rating across 104 reviews
  • Reviewers describe fast scheduling from injury to surgery
  • Elite-athlete treatment background, per his professional bio
  • Multiple accounts of successful shoulder, knee, and ankle procedures

Worth knowing

  • His most recent reviews here run about 11 months back, older than the other two practices on this list

Our take: It ranks third on a slightly lower rating than the other two, though the surgical outcomes reviewers describe, and the athlete-level experience behind them, are hard to overlook.

Watch: 3 Best Orthopedics in New York (2026)

Health information disclaimer: This directory is informational only and not medical advice. Rankings reflect publicly available Google ratings and review volume, not clinical outcomes. Verify any practitioner’s credentials and registration with the relevant medical board before booking.

How we ranked these orthopedic practices

Rating is each practice’s live Google average. Review volume measures how many patients have rated it, benchmarked against the rest of the pool. Confidence blends the two, so a strong score built on hundreds of reviews counts for more than the same score on a handful. Recency tracks how recently patients are still leaving reviews, and completeness reflects how much verified contact information we could confirm. No practice can pay to change any of these numbers.

What does an orthopedic visit cost in New York? (2026)

Orthopedic care runs the full range from a basic consult to imaging, injections, and surgery, and cost depends on your insurance, whether the practice is in-network, and the specific procedure involved. Ask for a written estimate once a treatment plan is decided rather than guessing from a general range.

Orthopedic care across Manhattan

This list covers Lower Manhattan’s Chinatown and Tribeca, with reach into Flushing and NYU’s Midtown campus. If you’re searching for an orthopedic doctor near me in New York, all three of these practices draw patients from across the boroughs, so travel time is often less of a factor than which one treats your specific injury.

What to ask before you book an orthopedic consult

  • Is this practice in-network with your insurance, and is a referral required?
  • Can imaging like X-rays or ultrasound be done on-site the same day?
  • Does the surgeon regularly treat your specific injury or joint?
  • What’s the realistic recovery timeline for the recommended treatment?
  • Is a non-surgical option available before surgery is considered?
  • Who handles follow-up questions after a procedure, and how quickly do they respond?

Frequently asked questions

Who is the best orthopedic doctor in New York?

By proven volume, City Orthopedics with Dr. Neil Mulchandani leads at 4.9 stars across 402 reviews, while Atlantic Orthopedics & Sports Medicine holds a perfect 5.0 on a smaller base. The right fit depends on whether you need surgery, same-day diagnostics, or sports-specific care.

How much does orthopedic treatment cost in New York?

Cost depends heavily on your insurance, the procedure, and whether the practice is in-network, so there isn’t one reliable figure to quote. Ask for a written estimate once imaging and a treatment plan are in place.

Do I need a referral to see an orthopedic surgeon?

Some insurance plans require a referral from a primary care doctor before covering a specialist visit. Check your plan directly, and ask the orthopedic office if they can help coordinate one.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data, ratings, review volume, and how recent and complete each listing is. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these orthopedic practices?

We compared New York orthopedic practices with a real Google track record, then ranked them on live rating, review volume, confidence, recency, and how complete their public listing is. We read the actual reviews to write each summary; we don’t personally visit or treat with these doctors.

How often is this list updated?

The data here was verified in July 2026. We refresh ratings and review counts periodically, so figures can shift as practices collect new reviews.

The bottom line

For the biggest track record and reconstructive surgery experience, City Orthopedics and Dr. Neil Mulchandani are the safe default. If you want same-day imaging and a faster answer, Atlantic Orthopedics is worth a call first. Whichever you choose, confirm insurance and get a written treatment plan before surgery is on the table.
