Dr. Nicholas A. Bavaro, MD

I see the review bots are on overtime. This dude is useless

Dr. Bavaro was very helpful in diagnosing a problem I have been having with my knee. It feels like it just gives out. Had surgery on it in the past, and was thinking I might need another. Dr. Bavaro gave me other alternatives and my knee feels much better. Highly recommend!

I felt very comfortable in Dr. Bavaro’s office and he assured me that he would get me back on the tennis court soon. I was having with my knee. He sent me for some tests and revealed a torn meniscus. He listened to everything I had to say and then asked me questions. I am scheduled to get it repaired! I’m very thankful for the recommendation by my friend. He is top notch.

Dr. Bavaro provided excellent care for my mom when she had knee replacement. She speaks English as a second language, but he made sure she understood everything. He also explained everything to us. He took a lot of time with her and she decided to have him replace her knee. After the surgery, she was up and walking very quickly and she is not pain free!! We are forever grateful!

Went to Dr. Bavaro with shoulder problem. Quick to see me, with excellent diagnosis. Actually stopped by the house to follow up. Would recommend him highly.

Provided a second opinion when we were feeling lost! His professionalism, information and care was so helpful! He took the time to explain and suggest medical information that we were concerned and confused about. He gave us his time, his expert advice and peace of mind during a very difficult time. We are forever grateful!

Dr. Bavaro made time in his schedule to see me when I hurt my hamstring. He really listened to me and figured out that it wasn't actually my hamstring, but my glute. He gave me the name and number for PT, and I'm on the mend. I would recommend Dr. Bavaro to family and friends.

I went to this doctor and was recommended a knee surgery. He did my total knee replacement and I have had constant pain since. I told him multiple times that I was constantly hurting but he never listened. He did not take give my any pain meds after 5 days. I have had second opinion since and had I have had to get another surgery to fix what he did wrong!!!

If only his skillset matched his arrogance ! Office staff incompetent which impacts your care. He couldn't even get medical history correct. Can't blame that on his staff.

Our experience with Dr. Bavaro began with him agreeing to stay in his office so our injured soccer-playing daughter - arriving from her college by train - could see him for an emergency appointment. That gesture alone was more than we could secure from two other doctors who we had previous experiences with. And then he saw her. His treatment, understanding, support and care were unbelievable. He was sensitive, honest and direct and most importantly, made her feel understood and helped her understand her condition. Perhaps most impressively, he introduced perspective, reminding her that this experience and how she'd cope with it was a larger life test and lesson. It wasn't easy - for him or her - but we and she are grateful for it. Sadly, as health care has forced so many doctors to concentrate on how to make a living rather than how best to care for patients, this approach seems to be a lost one. Dr. Bavaro is an exception and exceptional.

First and foremost, I have extreme confidence in Dr. Bavaro and his team. Over the last five years I have sustained 3 different hip injuries / traumas. Dr. Bavaro is the definition of professional. He takes the time to explain the injury, my options, and what I could expect during recovery. Additionally, his team is extremely accommodating and responsive to all of my requests and questions. Although, I hope to not have to see Dr. Bavaro in quite some time, I highly recommend him and his team to any of my colleagues/friends who are having hip issues. Thanks Dr. Bavaro and team!

Dr. Bavaro is very smart in field and very educated when it comes to his patients. He takes his time and makes sure to listen to you and explain everything with full detail. I appreciate his expertise and if I ever have another issue I know who I will see for any problem. I know I am in great hands - including traveling to his new location in Manhattan.

He is a wonderful surgeon and he really cares about his patients. Dr Bavaro is widely respected in the medical community. I have now followed him to his new office in Manhattan. I must say that his staff is simply as good as it gets.

Thorough and humble. Exceeded my expectations! Quick recovery. Highly recommend!

Awesome! Dr. Bavaro and the staff there are excellent! I would drive twice as far to see these guys! No hip pain anymore!

Not thorough

Dealing with this office makes me think I am in a third world country. Wait time over an hour bring lunch. This office needs a good cleaning. Overcharged several times. It's all about the money with this office. Save your Eob as you will need them for your fight with billing. Worst office I have ever dealt! Ask if the dr has a steak in the surgical center.

I contacted Dr. Bavaro on a Monday due to an unknown injury to my knee (I heard it pop during an MMA grappling session). He saw me immediately, and I had an MRI that same day. Diagnosed with a severely torn meniscus, and not really able to walk, I was in surgery that same week (Friday). I have listened to all of the post op instructions and have gone to PT. In 3 days I was walking with no cane/crutches. In 10 days I had very little pain at all. I'm now a little more than a month out and I feel absolutely great. It will be about another 4 weeks before I can return to my MMA, but I could not be happier with the entire experience/procedure.

Dr. Bavaro is a wonderful surgeon and a nice person. I have been his patient for almost twenty years. When I see some of those crazy, negative reviews, I want to scream, "Who are you, and what's your angle?" Perhaps you saw Dr. Bavaro on a bad day (everyone has them). Perhaps you are viewing Dr. Bavaro and his rude, idiotic support staff as one and the same. Not!!! Perhaps you didn't like his honesty - that he didn't promise you the world, like most orthopedic surgeons, and then not deliver. Perhaps, instead of an orthopedist, you need to see a psychiatrist.

For years I have lived with chronic pain, until I met Dr. Bavaro! He listened and provided a clear plan of action to address my discomfort! Thank you Dr. Bavaro for demonstrating consistent and timely care and compassion!
