    He got me on my feet again after a severe calf strain and ankle sprain two weeks before Tate Boston Marathon.

    Dr. Rose took such excellent care of me and my hip. A decade old dance injury that only got worse over time was not only causing me pain, but limiting the amount of physical activity I could comfortably do. After obtaining an mri, Dr. Rose advised me that surgery would be the best route to correct the injury. Since it was near the end of the year and I had already met my deductible, I wanted to get the surgery done asap--Dr. Rose was able to schedule it within 2 weeks. His entire office has been so wonderful and helpful throughout the whole process. I'm now out of physical therapy and back to the activity level I enjoy. Thank you Dr. Rose!!

    Dr. Rose is an incredible orthopedist. I have had multiple surgeries on my ankle with three different surgeons, and have a complicated diagnosis. Dr. Rose has by far been the one that I trust the most. He has gone out of his way for me, including calling another specialist to add to my care. He has great bedside manner and truly cares about his patients. I would recommend him to anyone.

    I was recommended Dr.Rose from my dance coach. I'm a professional dancer and I dance for the NBA. I torn my acl, had a bucket handle displacement on my lateral meniscus, and a tear on my medial meniscus. He was my second opinion surgeon and I'm glad I decided to follow through with surgery with him. He made me feel safe and provided me with all the knowledge I needed to know and answered all my questions. The staff in the office is amazing. Everyone is super friendly and the wait time is perfect. I'm 5 months post surgery and have a few months left, but I sure Can't wait to get back to dancing!!! I strongly recommend him!

    I was referred to Dr. Rose last year when we found out my daughter needed a tibial osteotomy. Getting an appointment was easy, he wasn't rushing her in for the big surgery, in fact, he recommended a smaller surgery to get her out of pain. ... This year, Dr. Rose performed the same surgery on my daughter's left knee and again, all went extremely well. I would not think of using any other orthopedic surgeon. Going into NYC can be a hassle but it is well worth it when you see the best! I can't say enough about Dr. Rose. He even wiped my daughters tears in the recovery room after her second surgery. She asked to keep the screw from her first surgery and he explained that it has to be sent to pathology. When he saw her in recovery, he had taken a picture of the screw and emailed it to her. He really is a gifted surgeon who also cares!
