“The appointment time I selected on ZocDoc and then confirmed with the office via a phone call was then immediately changed to a later time without my consent. I was also then seen by a different provider than the one I selected and that was confirmed on the app and by the office. I had to fill out the same paperwork three times which seemed unnecessary. Aside from that, the staff members I did interact with were very nice, addressed my problem, and were efficient. The office was clean and well organized, and the wait time was what I expected. ”

“The only bad review I had was that the office did not get any of my information from this app and they were in fact surprised at my arrival. The nice young lady at the front desk was able to accommodate me and filled out all of my insurance info for me in their system. So I guess my advice would be to double check with the specialist you book your appointment with before arriving when booking with this app!”

They said that ZocDoc doesn’t coordinate appointments with them. They worked an appointment in with a resident.

July 4, 2024Diego A.Verified patient
I’ve never felt more comfortable in a normally uncomfortable situation such as going to the doctor. The teach who took my X-rays was a sweetheart and Dr. James explained everything thoroughly and took his time to explain my options so that I fully understood what happened to my finger and my leg. I’ll be recommending the folks at kayal over anybody 100 times out of 100 times. Fantastic experience.

Great staff. Knowledgeable. Appt ran on time.
May 30, 2023Kristin D.Verified patient
I had been to a few surgeon regarding my knee. This office was heaven sent because the PA showed me my xray and showed me exactly what was happening with my knee and why I needed a full knee replacement. The surgeon made me feel so comfortable and at ease. Explained the procedure and I look forward to my knee replacement and having a better quality of life.

I was worried about going to a new doctor’s office but this medical practice is amazing. Dr. Kayal is great and he has a great staff, including very smart and well-trained physician assistants. I am happy I found this orthopedic center!
April 20, 2021Robin L.Verified patient
Longest wait time and very unfriendly PA. Inaccurate information and when asked to clarify spoke very condescendingly. No diagnosis for the almost 2 hour wait. Very unhappy.

My experience was great! I went in to see the doctor within 10 mins. Communication and bedside manner were excellent. I especially love the fact that everything is done at the same location ????

Everyone went above and beyond to help!
February 28, 2020Adriana L.Verified patient
They did not accept my insurance but when I looked up in Zocdoc they said they accept it. So either Zocdoc is wrong or the clinic need to update their insurance accept details correctly so that they don’t waste anyone’s time.

Excellent service, very informative, addressed immediate concerns, instituted a long range healing process for quality of life.

The office is clean and the check in process was up to date, fast and efficient.

Wait in there for over 3 hrs until he sees you.
November 1, 2016Mayan B.Verified patient
Stay away! He keeps everybody waiting for hours! He is seeing you as a moneybag,not a person! It's really bad. All negative reviews are true! If you care about yourself find another doctor!

April 2, 2014Samantha T.Verified patient
I waited 3 hours to see Dr. Kayal. Yes, 3 hours. No apology for the wait, which was kind of annoying. He seems to know his stuff, which when all is said and done is the most important thing. I'll know more about him as time goes on. I will be having surgery soon. I hope he is as good as his reputation.

Excellent. Personable staff.
More than 1 year agoBrenda P.Verified patient
Dr Kayal is very self-confident, bordering on arrogant, but is willing to spend the time to explain why "he is the best". I waited 2.5 hours past appointment time, but he did answer all my questions and gave me his full attention for an hour. Hopefully he is as good a surgeon as he thinks he is.

Everyone was very professional. The doctor was thorough and took his time. He seemed very qualified and confident in his diagnosis. He released the pressure in my elbow which alleviated the pain substantially. I will need surgery, but I feel confident that he will do an excellent job.
