PATIENT TESTIMONIALS
I was encountered with a surgery that I pretty much felt for the last 9-10 years coming. I chose Total Orthopedics and Dr. Dante Leven was there and I mean Truly there. He sat with me in the office and spent a great amount of time explaining the MRI results and what the next step was to take to correct my C4-C5 discs in my neck. I WAS TERRIFIED!!!! I had so much pain and twitching from the compression on my spine I knew there was no other way to correct it but what he was telling me. I have Absolutely No Regrets and My Confidence with a complete stranger to me was from the absolute reassurance he had in my recovery and pain relief. His Bed Side Manor and Complete Support was Undefinable and NOT found in many Drs on the first visit. He made a Huge Difference in My Life with no pain and suffering and honestly would do it all again because of the results and the unconditional and caring this man brings to his patients. I was crying headed to the operating room terrified and was reassured I would feel better and amazingly enough he is s man of his word and continues to follow his patients with the same care he had on their very first visit. I Recommend him to everyone I know who has and is still out there suffering. There is s better way and it is Dr. Leven at Total Orthopedics.

“I’ve been going there for over 7 years and highly recommend. Just like any other specialist there’s a wait but it’s well worth it for the treatment you receive. My Spinal fusion by Dr. Avenasov to my daughters broken foot treated by Maria Trotta you always feel like you are their only patient!”

“Dr. Spain and his staff are not only the epitome of professionalism, they are also extremely attentive, personable and actually exhibit care for their patients. Sadly, I’ve had to see several orthopedists over the years due to chronic knee and hip issues and by far, I’m the happiest with Dr. Spain! I highly recommend Total Orthopedics and Sports Medicine! Oh, and most importantly, you’re called for your appointment at the scheduled time and seen within 10 minutes! How’s that for a minor miracle?”

"When I first walked in, I was rather blown away by the place as I noticed that they had an orthopedic as well as a physical therapy office inside. I was assisted fast and efficiently by the girls up front. When I went back the MA asked me questions and then an X-ray tech came in right away to give me an X-ray. That was fast and the doctor came in almost immediately following my X-ray. I also learned they have an MRI there too. This place has it all! The doctor, Dr. Degenis, was very friendly and super knowledgeable about my condition. He thoroughly explained a treatment plan. I'm excited to check out the physical therapy in this office on Friday when I go back."

"My daughter plays competitive volleyball and has been prone to foot and ankle injuries. Dr. Spain has taken care of her for all those injuries and made the right diagnosis and course of treatment every time. I would highly recommend him and the practice for sports-related injuries. Plus, their orthopedic urgent care open 7 days in three locations is great. Knowing that on the weekend you can see an orthopedic doctor or PA rather than general urgent care doctor is good to have around.

"I have been a patient at Total Orthopedics for almost two years. I am very satisfied with the treatment I have received. Dr. Ruotolo performed a total shoulder replacement on my left shoulder 18 months ago and I am very pleased with the results. Dr. Morrison treated my hand pain with great success Most recently Dr. McCormack gave me a brand new knee. I am doing very well. I would not consider going anywhere else for my orthopedic needs."

"Unfortunately, my son had a difficult year with injuries so we have been to total orthopedics express urgent care and follow up appointments at Total Orthopedics with Dr.Trepeta for various reasons throughout the past 12 months. We have been extremely happy with the care there and the ease of booking appointments including numerous MRIs. We love the new Syosset office as well. Staff is always helpful, and we feel my son is always in good hands with Dr.Trepeta! Highly recommend Total Orthopedics."

"By some incredible stroke of luck, after my accident last year I was rushed to the hospital and Dr. Gallos was assigned as my emergency surgeon to take the challenge of repairing my shattered olecranon. After two surgical procedures later, and over a year of recovery, miraculously I have regained use of my arm again. I couldn’t be more thankful and appreciative of the care I have received. Additionally, the Syosset Total Orthopedic’s office staff (from Billing to Radiology), all have been such a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend anyone who needs orthopedic assistance."
-Charles S. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"I was seen by Total Orthopedics and Sports Medicine for neck pain. The office in Massapequa & Syosset was efficient and professional. The front desk; Personnel, PA & MRI tech was friendly, prompt and clear in describing the procedures and tests I was having. Scheduling for the test and follow-up appointment was a breeze. Dr. Avanesov was reassuring and through with my concerns, I was impressed with everyone's high standards. Very well run."
