Very lucky to have found a great surgeon on Zocdoc
Verified patient
He knows his stuff. Great Dr.
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.
Had a very good experience.. Staff super helpful.. Dr. Cusher was very pleasant. Was out within an hr.. would have been less but was the first time there so need to fill out paper work. I would definitely recommend this Dr., staff and officr.
Verified patient
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.

Dr. Cushner was fantastic. He responded to all my questions and gave me great advice. His staff was wonderful. They were very kind and informative. My husband went to this doctor and also said he was great. If you need help with your knees go to Dr. Cushner. He is the best doctor I have ever been to.
Verified patient
Dr. Cushner best doctor.
Excellent experience with doctor & staff.
The visits were professionally handled from reception through the sign out. Dr. Cushner is obviously a leadr in his field as exemplified by the excellent service. My follow-up visits were great! All my questions were answered.
Thorough, efficient. Happy with office.
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.
