Orthopaedic Surgeons
Okay, so this is my opinion, and informed by my friend who is an orthopedic surgeon (that doesn’t work at any of these hospitals, by the way) and by my experience. 3 best hospitals for orthopedic surgery: Hospital of Special Surgery, NYU’s Hospital for Joint Diseases, and Lenox Hill. (Bellevue is known for replantation too if you don’t have good insurance or any insurance. We used them and it turned out well). Hospital of Special Surgery referral line; 212-606-1555 to find doctors that have availability and will take your insurance.

We saw Dr. Paksima based on a recommendation from a friend. He saw our 3 year old for a partially severed finger. He has a terrific bedside manner, he couldn’t be nicer. Our son felt comfortable with him despite the pain he was feeling. He did his residency at Hospital for Joint Diseases so I feel that he has a great training. He was reassuring and very thorough.
