Professional, cordial and timely.
September 18, 2025Myron A.Verified patient
Got a pretty objective, clear explanation of the benefits and the downsides of getting a knee replacement. It was not necessarily the advise I wanted to hear but I got the sense that it was straight, no sugar coating and ultimately useful.

Great doctor and nurses!
July 23, 2025Jennifer-Lorraine S.Verified patient
Dr Livshetz is a very compassionate and brilliant surgeon. From the moment I met Dr Livshetz, I knew I was in very competent hands. He addressed all my concerns and answered all of my questions which set a very positive tone. His skill as a surgeon is outstanding. His nature is kind. I will always recommend Dr Livshetz to family and friends.

Very nice competent M.D.
July 11, 2025Erica S.Verified patient
Excellent experience all around. Great communication first from the PA, followed by the doctor. Clear presentation for first time hip replacement. All my questions were answered, I left feeling that the surgery would go well and that I would have an excellent outcome and recovery.

May 27, 2025Martina S.Verified patient
Dr. Livschetz is very knowledgeable about my problem. He gave me the injection I was interested in and a prescription. He offered me the opportunity to follow up with different medications if necessary. He was also very gentle during the examination. I was in incredible pain, and it was nice to have somebody be attentive and willing to spend time with me.

Setting up an appointment through Zocdo is really convenient. This is my first time to do this. Once the proper filters are entered, identiying a dotor is very easy. Then text message and email from Zocdoc are also received to remind me about the appointment. I will definitely use it or recommend it in future.

February 4, 2025Tracy M.Verified patient
The doctor's team touched base before my appointment. The office was easy to find, and very clean. The entire team, from admin to imaging, assistant to PA, just like the doctor, were all helpful, pleasant, communicated clearly. The doctor reviewed treatment options and follow up care with me in language that was easy to understand. Everyone was patient and kind. I would recommend this doctor and office to patients of any age.

Thorough and friendly. Staff was phenomenal
January 9, 2025Kathleen R.Verified patient
Doctor Isaac Livshetz was very thorough in explaining everything to me about my hip replacement showing me the kind of hip replacement-not one but two. His PA was very professional.
All in all, it was a most pleasant and quick visit. The follow-up visit with Dr Livshetz after he prescribed Physical Therapy could not have been better.

Office staff was courteous and helpful. The staff I saw before the doctor arrived, were excellent and answered all my questions. Don’t bother with the municipal parking lot as it fills by 8am! Use valet.

September 20, 2024Michael L.Verified patient
had a 10:15 AM appointment checked with the front desk at 10:30 and 1040 and I was just told appointments are running behind plus there was a couple with a 10 AM appointment who had not been seen yet. I took my 87-year-old sister went home even though she was in painwould be nice if they would give me a definitive answer of the Doctor will see you in 30 minutes or 40 minutes or 50 minutes. I’m sorry, but Doctor is running behind. Isn’t a good answer.

Facility was very clean and well organized. Staff were all extremely courteous and welcoming. Doctor was prompt and a good communicator. It was an excellent experience overall.
March 1, 2024Barbara C.Verified patient
I felt like he didn't take me seriously and he was somewhat arrogant. He may be a good surgeon, but his bedside manner is horrible.
On the upside, the facility is nice and the staff was very kind!

Dr Livshetz discussed my condition and various options for treatment clearly. It was an informative, unrushed and relatively pleasant experience
October 27, 2023Frederick K.Verified patient
Went for a second opinion on hip replacement. Dr. Livshetz looked at my charts and I was told same thing as first physician to wait on surgery. He recommended physical therapy first and then go from there. I appreciated his candor and explanation for his recommendation. Hopefully there is relief. If not I will definitely be returning to see him for surgery as he was highly recommended by others.
August 31, 2023Susan G.Verified patient
This was my first time at this office and I felt very comfortable there. From the valet parking all the way when I checked out it was very pleasant. I will definitely use this office again if needed.

This was an excellent experience. Dr. Livshetz expertly assessed my knee problem, listened to my concerns with patience, and explained my surgical options in detail. It was a pleasure dealing with him and the entire staff of this well-run office, including the nurse, receptionist, physical assistant, and x-ray technician.

June 10, 2022Nancy M.Verified patient
I had a very sharp pain on my knee. I have recently recovered from Covid and this was a bizarre pain…. One nerve on my knee hurts quite a bit, but the entire pain is very localized to that one spot. The doctor took an X-ray to rule out a bone fracture (I knew it wasn’t bone) and prescribed topical cream to help. I really think it’s a neuroma and somehow I secretly wonder if it was a Covid related inflammation…….

New office with amazing views of White Plains. Very professional and well staffed.
Dr. Livshetz is what all MDs should aim to be. He listens and explains everything. He does not rush to see the next patient and is not hasty to do tests.
I felt comfortable with him the minute he entered the room.
January 7, 2022Joy G.Verified patient
Dr. Livshetz was amazing as was the entire staff. I’m so glad I made an appointment with him. The whole appointment with smoothly and the staff really listened to my concerns. Dr. Livshetz is also extremely knowledgeable!

The oy word that could possibly describe my whole experience is AWESOME. The doctor's bedside manner was impeccable, he listened attentively and helped me to overcome my reluctance to having surgery.. Though he couldn't help me with my particular problem, he referred me to someone that could. If there was ever a need for an orthopedic surgeon I would highly recommend him.
May 5, 2021Lateisha S.Verified patient
The doctor was very thorough in his analysis of my hip x-rays and gave a clear explanation of what’s causing the pain in my hip. I like that he suggested some simple first steps to try and remedy the problem: physical therapy, or home based core strengthening exercises, and occasional use of OTC pain medication. Also, he has a very pleasant demeanor.
