3 reviews for Andrew Rokito, MD
Unfortunately.. I suffered a complete ACL Tear earlier this year, JAN 2009.
Fortunately I met with an amazing surgeon, Dr. Andrew Rokito, at the NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases. I first spoke with one of his assistants, Iyvonne, who gave me immediate attention coordinating X-rays, meeting the doctor (on his break in between surgeries), and getting my MRI done. Dr. Rokito recommended a few physical therapy sessions to strengthen my quads before surgery and with a week's wait time the swelling would have lessened enough to operate.
Dr. Rokito was the sports doctor for the Mets up until 2004, so when we talked about repairing my ACL I knew he would be capable of doing an excellent repair regardless of graft choice. (I chose the strongest graft, my patella tendon.) SInce ACL Reconstruction is no joke, i can't tell you how comforting it was to know my surgeon is one thee best orthopaedic surgeons and is the head of his dept.
I will also say that the staff of lovely nurses at the x-ray facility were very nice, almost to the point that I felt like I was given special treatment. Dr. Rokito is VERY highly respected, I could tell by interacting with other of his colleagues, other surgeons. His staff is also incredible, which was the first sign that i found an amazing doctor, he is surrounded by an outstanding team. I was told Dr. Rokito's hands are like magic.
Post surgery, my follow up visit with Dr. ROkito gave me an extra boost of confidence to walk with a regular gait and to protect the scarring from any sun. I felt at ease with the whole surgery and recovery process and absolutely felt that i was in the best care possible.
I am approx 5 months post op, 100% confident in a perfectly healed knee (Dr. Rokito said so) and continuing to work on regaining all my muscle strength in pt. If you are unsure about picking a doctor or surgeon, go with the best, reputable Doctor you can trust.
This guy is cool as a cucumber, Seems to be very professional and competent. Would not hesitate to recommend. Rokito is kinda neato!
After nearly 8-9 months of pain in the shoulder during 2006, Dr. Rokito was recommended to me by my primary care physician of 11+ years. I saw Dr. Rokito in late November 2006 or early December 2006 for a consultation as to whether I should have surgery or not, the consultation indicated that I would benefit from surgery. Dr. Rokito was the third / fourth doctor that diagnosed my shoulder pain. My physical therapist said Dr. Rokito is a cool guy. My colleague also saw Dr. Rokito a few years ago and said he was very good. In mid December 2006, exactly a week before Christmas, I had surgery for my shoulder. I had a couple of follow up in early 2007 with Dr. Rokito. After surgery, between physical therapy and the home exercise program, I have fully recovered around June 2007 / July 2007.
Dr. Rokito also works with patients that are "out of network".
I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Rokito.
