I really liked Dr. Colvin and the entire staff in the office. They were friendly, courteous, and efficient. I was seen almost immediately, they quickly did an x-ray, and then I waited for less than 60 seconds to see the Dr. Colvin.

I really liked her, I ruptured my achilles tendon and had no idea what to do / where to go, over a weekend confined to my bed i literally did 30 hrs of research on orthopedics, ATRs and who to use in NYC (i'm downtown but she also has a clinic in Upper East Side). I then visit two orthopedic surgeons and and she stood head and shoulders as my proffered choice. I haven't been disappointed. I've had several visits with her and she performed the surgery on my achilles tendon (the stitching was excellent compared to some of the hatchet jobs you see online). She make you feel at ease and her experience with my condition was faultless.

She was very patient and was an extremely fun doctor as well. I felt very comfortable talking to her and she explained to me in depth about my problem. My issue is not the most pressing or serious thing in the world (meniscus tear) however she did not make any less of it and treated me like a human as opposed to a "patient". I have seen a lot of orthopedic surgeons in the NYC area and she was hands down the best one yet.
