Dr. Maxim Tyorkin

One of the best orthopedic surgeons in the city! Kind, understanding, respectful and takes the time to really understand what's actually the problem and helps guide a conservative approach before going more aggressive. Highly recommended.

I began going to Dr. Tyorkin years ago when I first began long distance running. Dr. Tyorkin is not only very professional but knowledgeable in the field of sports medicine. He understands the importance of continuing in your sport while also providing excellent medical advice. I highly recommend this practice for orthopedic care.

Accompanied my father earlier this year, but truly not a positive experience. The front desk assistant was snappy, the doctor, who also was not too pleasant, rushed my dad's appointment, yet we were the only people in the office at around 2:30 PM. The office never got back with any results or follow-ups and Dr. Tyorkin was dismissive over knee pain that my dad is still having more than 5 months later.

I have played soccer, run all my life. A few years ago I suffered an injury during a game and tore my hip labrum. I visited Dr. Tyorkin afterwards and he recommended an X-ray in his office. X-rays cannot detect cartilage damage like a torn labrum. His diagnosis was ‘You will have some problems in the future’. He Never specified what problems I might have nor did he recommend an MRI. I kept on playing and had hip pain for a week after every game and after many years I decided to visit the HSS which did an MRI exam and correctly diagnosed the issue. What was supposed to be a labrum tear a few years ago and an arthroscopic surgery of 30min and quick recovery, it ended up with hip resurfacing surgery of 1.5 hrs and very long recovery. I am shocked to see a smart doctor not being able to diagnose a clear hip issue and recommending an X-ray for a cartilage damage!

I went in for an appointment two months ago, and received an MRI the week after. I was told I would receive a call in regards to my MRI results, but to no avail. I have called five times, left messages, and when I finally get through, the receptionist tells me Maxim will only be in on Monday. I call Monday, he is not available. I have an injured meniscus, am in pain, yet I cannot do a damn thing about it due to being neglected by this office. DO NOT waste your money here.
