Dr. Allan H. Tissenbaum, MD

"First visit I was given an x ray. Which wouldn’t show a shoulder tear, which was my concern. The PA came in, introduced himself, had me do some range of motion stuff and said I would get a steroid shot. Not much was explained to me about it, and was given NO aftercare instructions, like no soaking or heat on it, I only learned that (thankfully) because I looked online before using a heating pad. Dr T came in the room, did not introduce himself, didn’t look at me, had me move my arms a bit, said ok and left. I was told by the PA that I’d do some PT. 6 weeks of PT and range of motion was better but pain had shifted and I wasn’t able to do some exercises. When I had my 6 week checkup I didn’t see the PA. Again Dr T walked in with no eye contact, no introduction and just started moving my arm. I explained the pain in my shoulder blade and shoulder, and how it changed but was still there. He was rude and said it’s not your shoulder, just stop PT. The pain I had did settle after I stopped PT but is creeping back again. I will NOT go back to him. One of the very worst experiences I have ever had with a doctor."

"This man should not have a medical license. He will barely glance at your MRI and tell you whatever answer is most convenient to him. He will give you a cortisone shot and tell you you're fine when you need major surgery. He won't even look you in the eye when he does it. He's either incompetent or purposely causing harm to his patients. Something needs done. There is a group of former patients trying to take action to prevent this man from continuing to harm people. If you are a patient of this man and are concerned with how you've been treated, know that you are not alone. Do some research and see what options you have. There are many others."

"This doctor did my full knee replacement a year ago. I'm still having pain and was just told there is nothing wrong. He with this arrogant attitude was in the room for 45 seconds. He gave me some "nifty" salve though, and said come back in a year. I definitely would not recommend him."

"Dr Tissenbaum has provided outstanding care to myself and my family . I have been seeing dr Tissenbaum for that last 18 years for different Orthopaedic issues. We have always had outstanding care from shoulder surgery on our son . Fractures repaired to joint replacement and ligament graft . Our family will see no other orthopedic surgery."

"Returned to Dr. Tissenbaum as he did my carpar tunnel last year. I had a lot of pain now in my right knee and one visit, I am feeling pretty good, with mobility again. Thanks Dr. T."
