Ortho surgeon rec and PT
I just found out I tore my ACL. I like my current ortho but looking for one that specializes in sports. Also looking for a PT rec too for after. The PT must be a sports geared on since I want to get back to running as quickly as possible.
TIA

Re: Ortho surgeon rec and PT
Sorry to hear that.
I had both my knees replaced October 2015. Surgery was my last resort, finally had to do it because I was walking bone on bone in both knees. Love my ortho, the PAs, and his staff. He is sports medicine.
Giles Scuderi 1001 Franklin Ave Garden City 516-801-8410
210 East 64th Street 4th floor NYC 212-434-4310
He does surgery at Lenox Hill in Manhattan or at Franklin in Valley Stream. I was at Franklin for 4 days (ortho wing is great, rest of hospital meh) Outpatient rehab at STARS Manhasset.

Re: Ortho surgeon rec and PT
You don't say what county. I'm in Suffolk. Dr. Paci at Stony Brook Ortho is a good sports medicine guy. I really like St. Charles outpatient rehab.

Re: Ortho surgeon rec and PT
I did 11 days of inpatient rehab before starting PT. My therapists at STARS worked my butt off to get my flexibility back and walking normally. Tears were involved on many days, knee rehab is painful.
Nine weeks after surgery, I was driving.
STARS has multiple locations, Manhasset was the easiest one for me to get to from Bayside.

For PT I recommend Sparacio PT. I see them in Manhasset, but they have a Hicksville office. There are no aides or assistant. PT sees only one patient at a time. They work with everyone and help you get back to running. They are also the most 'hands on' and do manual therapy too. http://sparaciopt.com/
