Winthrop Orthopaedic Assoc

Just made my last payment for the lack of service perfromed for my son. Your office is a joke and in my eyes you have committed Insurance Fraud. You have billed me $600.00 and you neither set my sons casts or performed even rudimentary follow up. You looked at 1 xray and the follow up was performed by a Physicians Assistance. You made him wait 1.5 hours for this visit that lasted 7 minutes. When the cast needed to be reset you sent my son to the Emergency Room at 5pm on a Saturday without a simple phone call to let them know you were sending a patient. He had to sit there again for 6 hours waiting for a new cast which you said he did not need two days earlier. I repeatedly tried to contact Dr. Gafney and others in the office to no avail. I will pay this money, but I will never recommend this office and I will actively encourage people not to use this office. I feel Dr. Gafney is a disgrace to his profession and the staff at this organization is one of the rudest I have ever encountered. You are what is wrong with Health Care in Americas and all Obama's plans will do nothing to discourage your disgracefull practices. more

Winthrop Orthopedic Associates is a first rate medical provider. They were recommended by my primary care physician, and, as with any referral he has given me, they were excellent. In addition to providing excellent pre- and post-op advice and instructions (and hand surgery by Dr. Teplitz), they were were well organized, professional, and friendly at both the Garden City and Levittown offices. Would recommend anyone to Dr. Teplitz and to the practice. more
