He knows his stuff. Great Dr.
March 6, 2019Rahman M.Verified patient
He is a good surgeon but horrible when trying to explain your problems and what specifically you are looking and asking for. He even tried undermind you when you only know what the exact issue and pain is. He doesnt think anyone else beside him can know what exactly is going on amd that includes other doctors that i have seen for the same issue. All he has is being a good machanic/surgeon...but doesnt care about new therapies or alternative options.

Dr Cushner is a very professional and highly skilled surgeon. I went to see the doctor for a second opinion and wished I had never saw the first doctor. He has a great bedside manner on top of it I recommend him without reservation. Amazing and competent. I consider myself lucky.

I had ACL surgery with Dr. Cushner and was extremely pleased; the surgery went very well and he was very supportive during recovery and provided all of the necessary resources (CPM machine, ice machine, PT, ec). The operation went very well and I was off crutches in 1-month and running on a treadmill in 3-months. Thanks for the help.
