Steven Z. Glickel, MD

Dr Glickel is caring and professional. Perfectly healed both times i fractured my hand

Dr. Glickel listened to my 3 years of living with pain after a surgery from another Dr. He was kind and effective in finding a solution to those pain!
I was part of every step and everything was very well explained, and I felt secure to ask any question I wanted to ask. I am now pain free and the follow-up is scheduled to check that everything runs smoothly on the long run.

Dr. Glickel gave me excellent care after experiencing a severe fracture which needed surgery including plate, screws and a bone graft. It is now 8 weeks since my surgery and have excellent range of motion and the ability to do regular tasks, From my first visit everything was expedited efficiently to the day if surgery, I am filled with gratitude to Dr, Glickel for his clarity, time and expertise. He is a gift to be cherished. His reassurance was wonderful and accurate for me especially since I am a massage therapist.

i broke my finder. I hate doctors. Dr. Glickel made the experience as good as I could have ever hoped. From the first consultation, to answering all my questions, to surgery and all the follow-ups, he listened and helped me recover.

Dr. Glickel has incredible experience and a personal, comforting manner. I felt confident in every step of the process.

Very wonderful, on every level. Made it possible to return to playing my instrument!

Excellent experience

Dr Glickel made me feel comfortable throughout the experience and listened to every question, thought, or concern I may have shared with him. I always felt like he cared and did not rush me or disregard anything related to my injury, he made the experience easier.

I felt like I received the best care possible at all points. Thank you.

Dr. Glickel made every step of the process smooth and easy!

I recommend Dr. Glickel to anyone. Prior to seeing Dr. Glickel, I had seen another specialist who did not provide the same level of time or attention. Dr. Glickel was thorough and helped me to be free of pain in my wrists.

This was a very long process. 10 months from injury. I was not ready for surgery at the outset and Dr. Glickel waited with me to see if the humerous would heal on its own. When after 4 months it was not aligned, we decided on surgery. I appreciated the indulgence to wait on surgery till it was clear the bone would not heal properly on it own. I also appreciated the recommendation to Lang Therapy who is helping in my recovery. Everyone in Dr.Glickel's office was kind, patient and well trained for their role.

Dr. Glickel couldn't have been more thorough or thoughtful throughout the whole process, pre and post-surgery. He always took time to answer my many questions and performed my surgery flawlessly. I'm 99% recovered and went into my procedure with little fear. I will always recommend him to anyone in need and am so thankful to have had him as my surgeon.

I have eight years of patient experience with Dr. Glickel. He has treated me successfully for arthritis of the left, and ultimately the right thumb. An initial conservative approach with effective local steroid injections was very helpful but eventually surgery became necessary. After post-operative physiotherapy I regained full and painless use of both hands to the extent that my fine movement control was preserved, I could use both heavy power and hand held tools and could play the piano with an octave hand reach and even accomplish ninths and tenths. Dr. Glickel demonstrates outstanding medical judgement and surgical skills. He is empathetic, honest, dryly humorous and welcoming. His training by two founding giants in the field of hand surgery combined with his 30+ years of clinical experience make him a premium go-to hand surgeon in New York City. I recommend his practice as top notch, 5 Star, a 100% operation!

I came to Dr. Glickel somewhat accidentally, but I am SO glad that I did! I found him after making an appointment with OrthoManhattan for a fractured ulna, but being unsure which doctor specifically to make an appointment with; they quickly directed me to an appointment with Dr. Glickel. He immediately took the time to not only diagnose my fracture, but to make sure I understood what the next steps were and that I felt comfortable with each step. I got two additional opinions from other surgeons who sang Dr. Glickel's praises and assured me I could do no better than him! After the surgery, his followups were always efficient and even enjoyable- which is an exceedingly rare thing. He is not only a great surgeon but a great person, and I would recommend him to anyone!

Listens and takes care of every concern,,, never rushed. Explains everything carefully and fully.

I had a broken finger that required surgery. I met with Dr. Gickel after finding him online. He was a fantastic doctor and great surgeon. The surgery was as good as can be expected and follow ups were easy. After about 10 weeks I have near full range of motion in my finger and have no limits on my activities. Highly recommended.

Dr. Glickel saved my career as a chef and as a dog trainer. Without him, my life would literally have been over. At the age of 27, starting my life, getting married, saving up money to buy a house, all of that would have been over if not for Dr. Glickel. He is so kind, funny, SMART, and caring. The BEST doctor I have ever been to.

Dr. Glickel is not only an exceptional doctor, he is personable and kind. He is not in a hurried rush, even though he is very busy. He is the sort of doctor patients would like to see, but are difficult to find any more.
The result of my surgery was excellent. He was able to make one feel very comfortable before surgery. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a hand surgeon.

I feel blessed to have had the highly skilled Dr. Glickel doing surgery on my fingers more than once. Always a problem free
recovery.
