Dr. Alaia was one of several doctors in Manhattan that had assessed me after a freak accident from an automated glass sliding door December 2015. I was a healthy , active 46 year old man that had never incurred an injury or fracture. When I was diagnosed by Dr. Alaia, his first impression was to ensure I had physical therapy and to avoid surgery unless absolute necessary . I found that very comforting from day 1 knowing he was not another surgeon that was ready to bring out his knife . I felt he was sincere and was genuinly concerned for my short and long term health and recovery . After every effort to recover from several sessions of PT, I eventually had surgery that seemed complex and unforeseen due a tear and swelling caused by the accident.
Dr. Alaia advised me of several scenarios that may occur while under general and I felt relaxed and confident in his approach. I was in great discomfort and pain prior to the surgery from swelling and a condition that caused my shoulder to sublux when at a certain range . From the moment I met Dr. Alaia ,I was confident that he was the right surgeon for me and proceeded with the surgery knowing I would have the best outcome.
Dr. Alaias knowledge, experience and professional approach to the case was one of the many reasons why I have had a very successful recovery. He was patient, kind, trustworthy and trusted him like a friend. I still have many months of strengthening and conditioning to completely recover, however I am so happy with the result and feel very privileged he managed my injury. Finding the right surgeon in NYC can be very challenging and daunting, however I would highly recommend him to my family and friends without any concerns because I speak from personal experience.
