Dr. Melvin Rosenwasser

Small fracture almost dismissed as non-existent. No splint to protect and heal tendons. No hand therapy prescribed. Patient needed to ask for therapist recommendation. Healing delayed four weeks due to inattention.

Dr.Rosenwasser is an extremely knowledgeable physician. His clinical skills and empathy are exemplary. The nurses, medical assistants, and office staff, are great. The office is thoroughly clean and comfortable. I have been his patient for several different injuries. I consider myself very fortunate to have been in his care. When a referral is needed, Dr. Rosenwasser sends his patients to the very best orthopedic surgeons. I give my highest accolades to Dr. Rosenwasser and to his colleagues at New York Presbyterian Hospital. Dr.Rosenwasser is an extremely knowledgeable physician.

Staff are very efficient and professional. Dr. Rosenwasser is hands down the best!

Dr. Rosenwasser was very thorough and took his time with my appointment. I never felt rushed and he invited me to ask as many questions as I wanted. It was my first time meeting him and I found him to be very trustworthy so I decided to have him perform my surgery.

It was an excellent appointment with Dr. Rosenwasser. He is a very caring doctor and extremely knowledgeable with great expertise! I would recommend him highly..

Excellent Doctor. I had a case of Dupuytren’s Contracture on my right palm. He administered a Xiaflex injection and performed a manipulation breaking up the cords 48 Hours later. I resumed my golfing activities in less than a week’s time. I am very happy with the results and sorry I did not see Dr. Rosenwasser sooner.

Dr. Rosenwasser and his team were absolutely amazing. I recently broke both of my wrists.Their unwavering care and attentiveness provided solace as I knew I was in the best of hands. Additionally, they were extremely patient as the answered any and all questions regarding my process. I would highly recommend to anyone!

A very caring team. Great care all around.

Not impressed with him. Spent less than 10 minutes on the visit. Called his office for follow up. Was promised a call back latest by next day. Still waiting after 3 days. Find another doctor who is more caring. Not recommended at all

Pure excellence. The entire office & staff were exemplary. Dr is not only the finest but he has a winning personality and I was at ease

Hi. I want to express my gratitude to dr. M.Rasenwasser for the operation he has performed. Thank you. Best wishes. Oleg Bezenchuk

Office was busy but efficient. Dr. was easy to talk to and explained in layman’s terms. Assistant was extremely pleasant. I would give our visit a 5 star !

I had a TFCC tear that required surgery. Dr. Rosenwasser diagnosed and performed the surgery. He explained everything before the surgery, in recovery, and the follow up visits. I healed completely and regained full use of my wrist without any issues or limitations. This was important as I am right handed and it was my right wrist.

Very experienced doctor, very straight to the point. I had a thumb surgery (due to a ligament tear) and am very happy I did it with him.

I am a sculptor and was devastated by the broken finger on my right hand since I was not able to sculpt or write. The bone had been out of joint for 6 months before I met Dr Rosenwasser. The doctor inserted an artificial joint in my finger. Dr Rosenwasser gave me back my career and, most importantly, my spirit. I am most grateful and thankful to Dr Rosenwasser.

Fixed my elbow. My surgery was delayed for many hours but the surgery that Dr Rosenwasser performed cured my chronic medial epicondylitis. The post surgical care was great too. Nobody in my home area would do the surgery but he was fully confident he could fix the issue. Thank you.

In July of 2012, I tripped in my apartment and after 2 days went to the NYP ER. I had broken my left ankle. There I met Dr. Rosenwasser and his O.R.team. They were incredibly concerned and fully explained that I needed surgery at once. Dr. Rosenwasser and his O.R. Team did an exceptional surgical repair of my left ankle. I follow up with Dr. Rosenwasser and his Office Team every 6 months. The entire Office Team is very Efficient, Caring and Informative! Simply put, if you need an Orthopedic Surgeon, DR. MELVIN ROSENWASSER and his ENTIRE TEAM ARE THE VERY BEST!!!! Very Thankful, HAROLD STELLA NYP CATH LAB. In July of 2012, I tripped in my apartment and after 2 days went to the NYP ER.

Dr Rosenwasser repaired my torn tricep in October 2018. He did an amazing job with the surgery since there was minimal scarring and a lot of the pain is now manageable. I still have some pain, but it’s normal a few months after tendon surgery. I’m going to physical therapy which is also part of Colombia Doctors and they do an amazing job too. He makes sure that the patient takes the proper time to heal and recover. I was in a brace for about 6 weeks which really helped my arm heal. The key to my recovery is to continue the physical therapy and do my rehab at home too. I’m not 100% yet but I’m getting stronger everyday with less pain. His staff is extremely nice as well.

Dr. Rosenwasser is the best! After breaking my arm playing baseball, he was quick to help and perform a perfect surgery. Without his expertise D1 baseball would not have been a possibility again!! So grateful for such an amazing doctor

I would NOT recommend seeing Dr. Rosenwasser. He is obviously well qualified and an intelligent person, however his lack of care, respect, and attention are what make him a horrible doctor. If you want someone who will be attentive to your case and will provide solutions, he is NOT the doctor for you. He treated me like absolute garbage and gave me no time of day (treated me like I was a bother). Faculty is rude and had multiple forms incorrectly process on their end.

Dr Melvin Rosenwasser is an excellent hand surgeon who pays special attention to his patients concerns and makes sure they get the best possible result when he operates. He is extremely patient and knowledgeable in orthopedics and answers every question a patient has during the visit. I had a biceps tendon rupture and it healed completely without any complications in about 3 months. I would recommend him highly. S. C. Shekher

Amazing, caring, patient, superior surgical results!

Dr. Rosenwasser and his staff were excellent. The level of care was outstanding, and the doctor took time to explain all procedures and options. All were friendly and helpful.

got to the appointment went in for an x ray only to find out after that they made a mistake and dint accept my insurance, paid 500 out of pocket and was told the 250 for the xray would be covered, it wasn't, and the staff is very unhelpful

Dr.Rosenwasser is an exceptional surgeon! I had unresolved complications from a prior surgery involving ulnar nerve, ulnar ligament, & forearm flexor. I compete in Division I athletics but feared my issues were unresolvable and career over, and worried about long term effects. Dr. Rosenwasser expertly addressed all issues, essentially rebuilding my arm. I have now completed rehab and am throwing freely and with strength, thrilled and looking forward to this spring season.

Very good. My surgery (radiofrequency capsular shrinkage for an overstretched scapholunate ligament in my dominant wrist) was a complete success and exactly within the time frame he gave me.

Dr. Rosenwasser is a kind and caring man. He explains everything thoroughly and answers every question that is asked. Thanks to him, I can now hold my grandson with confidence ( and there is no better feeling.) Not a day goes by that I am not grateful for the mobility that his skill and expertise has afforded me.

My experience with Dr. Rosenwasser was very positive. I was lucky enough to be referred to him by a friend who is an orthopedic surgeon, and was told he was one of the best hand surgeons in the county. Dr. Rosenwasser expertly repaired by broken wrist, and I healed extremely well. The occupational therapist working with me, marveled at my quick progress. It has been four months since I had the surgery and my hand is back to normal again. I am very grateful to Dr. Rosenwasser.

Dr. Rosenwasser's pioneering surgical technique (RASL) for addressing torn scapholunate ligaments restored my wrist to near full function. After visiting 5 other surgeons and exhaustively studying literature on alternative surgical techniques, I concluded it was not close. The RASL surgery that Dr. R so skillfully performed on my wrist 5 years ago has allowed me at age 70 to keep up a very active life style--golf, basketball, biking, lifting weights, chopping wood, etc. Dr. R is outstanding.

I can strongly recommend Dr. Rosenwasser for your hand surgery - he explained what I needed to have done and how he would do it ...the best part was that he was optimistic of the outcome and was assuring that the end result would meet my needs and expectations. The entire surgery team was excellent as to be expected at NY Presbyterian. Follow-up care confirmed my expectations - great and helpful office staff.

Very professional and knowledgeable

Dr. Rosenwasser expertise is "off the charts good." Thanks to him I have been able to return to all activities with no pain or discomfort. I suffered a wrist injury that severely limited the use of my left hand. I was told by doctors here in my home state ( one of which was from the National Wrist Center!!) that I would have to definitely change my lifestyle and surgery offered little hope. Thanks to Dr Rosenwasser and his brilliance I have been totally back to normal mobility for 6 years!!

5 months post surgery for re-attachment of lateral ligament in my right elbow, I have 100% range of motion and no pain in the elbow. He also repaired damage to my tendons in same arm-so painful that I couldn't peel a potato or a carrot, and I have no pain between my wrist and elbow. I am gardening, taking yoga and pilates classes-and can do a plank again!!

Dr. Rosenwasser gave me back my hand! I was severly crippled with arthritis and pain. I went to 4 hand surgeons who all recommended a fusion ... which would have given me no mobility. 9 weeks after Dr. Rosenwasser performed my surgery, I was playing tennis -- having not been able to grip a racquet for a year. 5 years later, I'm still a happy and active camper. I'm now going to have the other wrist done -- which was 5 years slower in degenerating. So much gratitude and he and his team are just the nicest Dr. Rosenwasser gave me back my hand!

Dr. Rosenwasser completely freed me of pain in my thumb joints with hyaluronic acid injections! He was one of the most kind and thoughtful docs I have ever met. He runs a bit slow but it is because he takes so much time with his patients! I would be so happy if he could be my everything doctor :)

Me

Dr. Rosenwasser, a brilliant, comprehensive and caring orthopedic surgeon corrected a complex wrist fracture with internal fixation 5 years ago. The surgery went well with 100% recovery. My wrist had been severely deformed from an accident; not only had my wrist returned to normal activity, it is aesthetically pleasing. Recently had a non-displaced fracture- rather than go to an ER, I wanted the best medical care. The staff quickly accommodated an appointment. Highly recommend Dr. Rosenwasser.
