Dr edelstein did complete hand examination and a ex-ray of my son's right hand and found the issue. This was a injury from playing basketball he was told by other doctors that nothing was wrong with the hand. This went on for 2months hand still hurting. Got appointment with Dr. Edelstein and he identified the problem. Thank you the kid was in a great deal of pain.

January 2, 2019Christine H.Verified patient
Pleasant experience all around. Although waiting room had several patients, the wait time wasn't too bad (30-40 minutes). I don't mind waiting when it's due to a Dr. taking his time to explain the diagnosis to a patient.
I have a follow-up in a few weeks, and hope to report a similar experience.

Drm Edelstein was very professional and courteous. It took a while to be seen, but he quickly explained treatment options and administered the appropriate therapy. I would recommend him to anybosy who has hand/wrist issues
April 2, 2018Kirill R.Verified patient
All went well, the wait wasn't long and the Doctor was great. Didn't rush me and was very thorough. The only negative thing was that I had to fill out a form that was already completed previously on Zocdoc. Minor gripe really. I would highly recommend Dr Edelstein.

He was fantastic!!!! Loved him!!!! First time going to see him. Excellent bedside manner! He was funny and had you laughing. Explained everything in detail what was wrong with me. Looking forward to my follow up appointment with him. Would definitely recommend this doctor to other people.
February 22, 2018Tracy A.Verified patient
Excellent doctor and excellent visit. His front desk girls are amazing. My mother needed an injection that day and they called her insurance and had the injection approved within 15 minutes!
Though there is a short wait to see the doctor, that is because he actually takes his time with patients and will take his time with you too. Highly recommend.

Dr Edelstein is my go to hand doctor. I have carpal tunnel and he's been treating me for over 6 years. In fact, he's already done surgery on one hand. And he had treated my husband as well. He is tops in his field.

July 7, 2016Melvin F.Verified patient
Dr. Edelstein was very personable and extremely knowledgeable. He put me at ease the moment I stepped into his examing room. I was in pain from an injury to my finger and he was empathetic to my discomfort. He diagnosed what was wrong immediately and had them make the splint that I needed right in his office. That was a separate therapy practice but I would highly recommend them as well. Overall a very good experience for a not so good problem I had.
