Long time with Dr. K and I am doing great

I had arthritis of both my knees for more than 5 years. He has been my doctor and replaced one knee and the other I don;t need a new knee now. I am glad I met him so long ago and trust him a lot.

Platelet Rich Plasma- Great!

I had my left knee operated on but my right went to Dr. K for what are called platelet rich plasma PRP injections. He draws my own blood, puts the tube in a spinner and then pulls out some fluid that takes care of the inflammation in my knee. After three of these I am feeling amazing. Great that the office gives these kind of shots.

Wasn't in a rush to recommend surgery

I went to him and I knew I needed knee replacements but I thought I had more time before the surgery. Looks like I did. He really spent time going over my x-rays and choices for treatment. I am continuing to avoid surgery and feel so much better.

Doing Great

My original surgery was done somewhere else.

Dr. K took over my care without question. He did surgery to fix the problem.

Been with him for 8 years and doing great.

Really trust him.

Many Problems

I have many medical problems and this was the first doctor who took his time with me to really help me, which he did. I know he mainly treats hips and knees but he knew a lot about my back pain which was good.

Putting me back together

My hip surgery was done by another doctor

I am not doing well and went to Dr. Kirschenbaum. He carefully did a whole bunch of tests and we figured out what was wrong.

I do need a second surgery but I am finally glad that someone spent the time to figure out what was wrong and recommend a solution.

I like him and his office and look forward to getting better.

The Best

Dr. Kirschenbaum, I call him Dr. K, replaced my hip many years ago. I have had such a good result and continue to be his patient (because I have other things). Great doctor and surgeon.

Injection in my knee

Both knees

I have really horrible arthritis in both knees. I have not seen a doctor like this who spends time explaining everything that needs to get done. It seems he is the chief of the bone surgeons here and his team is great. He sent me to his knee replacement surgeon for surgery. I am glad my problem is finally being taken care of.

Finally...getting my shoulder fixed

For the past 2 years I went to a bunch of hospital clinics and doctors to get help for my shoulder. One of the places finally got an MRI but I then went to 7 more people who said they could not do anything.

I heard about the clinic at BronxCare and went to see Dr. K. He told me he was not a shoulder surgeon but had a lot of experience seeing shoulders in clinic. He examined me and took a good look at my MRI.

The best thing was that he showed me how his partner there will be able to fix the tear in my shoulder. He set me up with an appointment to see Dr. Allen soon.


This was great news and I appreciate the time he spent with me and the care he gave me.
