This was my first visit with Dr. Zilberfarb; I felt confident the way he addressed my concerns. I felt he fully understood my symptons. He spent an adequate amount of time with me and fully explained my treatment plan.
February 21, 2017Edwin M.Verified patient
He was helpful and explained everything to me as well as listened to all my concerns and checked them out without rushing off. And he doesn't seem like the kind to rush to unnecessary medication if physical therapy is the answer.

July 7, 2016Joel C.Verified patient
I filled out all the paperwork on line and told the receptionist, who smiled and handed me a packet of papers. I felt that she did not listen to me. I showed her the email from the zocdoc site and she was like oh, I don't work here usually. I spoke to a woman who pre registered me a week ago. She said she had not gotten the read on my MRI so I called and gave them the fax number I was given but the receptionist said they won't fax here. Why give information that you can't get. Frustrating!

Professional, efficient, great bedside manner - both the doctor and the staff. I came in and was able to get both an X-ray and MRI down the hall. I would highly recommend Dr. Zilberfarb and the facility to any athlete dealing with an injury!

Dr. Zilberfarb and his staff are amazing. I had rotator cuff repair surgery and I must say that the entire process of office visits and the actual surgery has been the most efficient and most professional ever.
August 27, 2014Philip P.Verified patient
About what I expected based on my past experiences. He's very thorough and explains clearly his opinion of the problem and recommendations for treatment. His office is also very well run and all the people are friendly.
December 19, 2012Rich C.Verified patient
My visit was okay overall, but ZocDoc sorta screwed up. I got confirmation from ZocDoc of a 10:30am appt., but Clara, the adm. ass't. called the first thing in the morning of the appt. and said that she rec'd. my appt. notice apparently after the business day and that there was NO 10:30am available. I had already changed my business day to accomodate the time and then had to "switch gears" for an afternoon appt. Just a suggestion: things were not sycronized appt.-wise. Somehow either don't confirm a time unless the doctor's staff knows about it or change how things are done, ZocDoc.

Courteous, professional, and possibly the best Orthopedic Surgeon in Boston. His practice is well managed; staff is kind, his diagnosis is usually right on. He treated me for a rather hard horse injury two years ago-with his excellent surgeon skills, put me back together, and now am back riding again better than ever.
I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing a Doctor in this field.
