Dr. Michael Andrew Parentis, MD

I have had a Tib/ Fib repair, an ACL reconstruction, and next month he will repair a rotator cuff. I am so grateful that I found him. Anytime I had imaging done, he personally called me. And he takes the time to explain what the imaging shows, and options. I am amazed at his patience, and his bed side manner. Not only is he an exceptional surgeon, he is kind and humble. I have recommended him to several family members, and even patients of mine. I will continue to be a patient until he retires!

Dr Parentis gave me excellent care. He did shoulder surgery & knee replacement & have been going to him for several years. He listens to all my question & never rushes me. Such a caring person. Also the staff is the best.

I was given exceptional care and treatment by Dr.Parentis and his staff for my total knee replacement

One year after my left knee replacement and I am so glad Dr Parentis is my surgeon! The staff at Orchard Park is so friendly and helpful, and all my many questions were answered promptly and to my satisfaction. My knee now works perfectly, and it was great to have physical therapy right next door, always in contact with the doctor for very personalized help with recovery. For any future surgery I trust Dr Parentis and his team.

I began seeing his PA, Jennifer (who is EXCELLENT also!) for shoulder pain in May 2022. When my concerns were confirmed (xray, MRI), I was able to make a timely appt. to see Dr. Michael Parentis. When I met with him to review my MRI results, he gave me advice on how to proceed but there was no pressure to have surgery/not have surgery. Within a week I decided to have the shoulder surgery, I was easily able to contact his surgical scheduler and get in with Dr. Parentis in an acceptable amount of time that also fit my schedule. My surgery went very well, and Dr. Parentis was able to complete all of the repair/"clean-up" (bone spurs & arthritis) as well. My spouse spoke to him - as Dr. Parentis calls the person waiting for the patient to review surgery, and later that night Dr. Parentis called me also. HE called me - not a staff member, to make sure all was okay on my end. Dr. Michael Parentis is the best there is in WNY - I highly recommend him without hesitation. - unsolicited review.

Dr. Parentis was terrific. He performed a reverse shoulder replacement surgery and I am extremely satisfied with the results. He explained everything in a way that made me feel comfortable with having the procedure. I highly recommend Dr. Parentis for any orthopedic needs.

Dr. Parentis replaced both my knees. He is very attentive and kind. He is also very informative, takes the time to show and explain my x-rays. I would highly recommend him!

After years of pain and not being able to wear a shoe, Dr Parentis offered the surgery I needed to get back on track with my life. He removed the tendon, cleaned out the scar tissue and cut the bone spur, before putting the tendon back in with 4 tiny screws. The three months of healing went by quickly and I can now wear all shoes without pain. The procedure went exactly as he explained it would. His staff is friendly and easy to work with and I thank them all. I would happily recommend him to anyone who has this problem.

Wny knee and orthopedic was wonderful in treatment of both knees. Resulting in a total replacement. The care and pt are excellent. The staff is great personable and so knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

Dr. Parentis and his staff were excellent. Options were presented, the procedure described, and I was encouraged to ask questions both before the surgery and on follow-up visits. I have been able to resume my normal activities four months after my surgery.

Dr. Michael Parentis is a knowledgeable and skilled surgeon. In May of 2021, I had a total left knee replacement, with amazing results. I went to him for a second opinion at which time he listened and answered all my questions and we came to the conclusion that replacement was the best option.

Dr Parentis was very responsive when I hurt my knee on a Sunday afternoon. He personally called me that same day to offer assistance, and also called the evening after my surgery to check in on me. I was on great hands the whole time!

I have been seeing Dr. Parentis since I was 36 years old, I'm 39 now. In that time he was the only Dr that didn't dismiss me because of my age and treated me for my condition. I had terrible arthritis and knee pain in both knees, cortisone shots helped until surgery was needed. I had a bilateral release, meniscus tears and arthritis cleaned out of both knees. He is a very good Dr, he always explained the next steps and put a plan in place for me. He was very thorough in calling and checking up after my surgery to see how I was feeling. His staff always treats me well. Dr Jennifer who assists him also does an amazing job with patients. Having this surgery was the best thing I could have done and I'm lucky to have a Dr that cared so much like him. I barely have any scars too! I highly recommend him.

Dr. Parentis has been treating me for many years. He has repaired a rotator cuff and replaced my knee. He has given me back quality of life, for that I am eternally grateful. He is the best.

Only the best doctor I could have hoped for! I will have a great future because of Dr. Parentis! I have had several joints repaired or replaced and I have only Positive things to say! I don't hurt all the time and I will be able to work for years to come because of the wonderful work he has done on me! Thank You Dr. Michael Parentis!

Was very happy with care being given.

After being a patient for over 2 yrs. The problem has not been resolved. I have gotten quarterly cortisone shots which are no longer effective.I was told surgery was not a good option

Dr. Parentis is an excellent doctor! He is so kind, gentle, humble, and takes time with his patients. He explains things clearly. He's done several surgeries for meniscal tears. I have no worries and know that I am in the best hands with him. There are a lot of doctors who could learn a lot from Dr. Parentis. He's a class act!

I gave 4 stars instead of 5 only because I first saw Dr Parentis’ assistant Matthew, who needs to be taught how to treat his patients. He said I should be fine in 8 to 10 weeks but after 11 weeks I still was in pain. He was impatient and very abrupt on my first (and only) visit. He held onto the door knob while he spoke with me as if he had to be somewhere more important. I called for a second opinion and asked to see Dr. Parentis. My experience was the complete opposite. He was very thorough, patient and explained everything in detail about my diagnosis & expected healing time (which can take up to 6 mos, not 8-10 weeks). He even took me in back to look at my X-rays and MRI results. He allowed me to ask questions until I felt like I fully understood the diagnosis and treatment options. And he never made me feel like I was just another box to check off so that he could move on.

Met with Dr.Parentis'Assistant Matthew on an emergency basis. In extreme pain.Matthew ordered an MRI but did not ask that it be expedited. Insurance stated approval could take 14 days if not expedited.Did not give any care instructions or pain reduction instructions. Not able to move without pain or risk of falling.Mattrew did not send information to Insurance Company promptly when they followed up.I don't think Matthew has any experience working with mature people who don't wrythe with pain and has no understanding for seniors living alone.
