Dr. Duretti Fufa

I saw doctor Fufa for my elbow. She was great. I mean she explained what are my options very thoroughly include the pros and cons of a surgery. She didn’t rush me and took her time explaining all the little details which I was very surprised and happy about. Previous doctor’s have one foot out to door as they speak to you to make the dash ASAP. I’ll definitely go back to her when I’m ready for surgery.

Dr. Fufa operated on me for tennis elbow. From beginning to end, my experience with her and her colleagues at HSS was exemplary. She explained clearly to me what the procedure would entail, what the likely outcome was, and what the recovery would look like. The surgery itself was as stress-free as I could have imagined; the entire team was both kind and professional. Dr. Fufa called me after surgery to make sure things were going well.. Subsequently, I took my son to her--he had been advised to have carpal tunnel surgery. After running some tests she told us she thought he did not need surgery, and advised us to wait. His arm has since healed. I really can't recommend Dr. Fufa highly enough.

Dr. Fufa is absolutely amazing. I cut my index finger while sharpening a knife which resulted in tendon laceration. I was in severe pain, and ended up at an Emergency Room at Bellevue, then at Emergency Room at NYP, and was told by hand surgeons that I will need to have a surgery in order for my finger to function again. Luckily I was referred to Dr. Fufa by a friend whose wife worked at HSS, and Dr. Fufa took a look at my finger, and said that an appropriate splint and therapy will take care of my issue, and that surgery was not necessary. At first I couldn't believe it, but still followed Dr. Fufa's advice. Now my finger is functioning again, thanks to Dr. Fufa - she fixed my finger without a surgery when everyone else said that the surgery would be necessary. THANK YOU, THANK YOU DR FUFA!

I can't speak to her expertise as a physician, but her bedside manners are beyond poor. She was condescending, curt, and indifferent. I don't think she was listening to me and simply stated, "we are going in circles." I left her office in tears, not that she cared. Her NP, Christine, could teach her some manners as she was friendly, compassionate, and professional.
