Maxim Tyorkin, M.D.

"I've been a patient of Dr Tyorkin's for a number of years and he's completed a couple of my surgeries (which were successful). He explains everything well, listens to concerns and always answers any questions you may have. What I like most is that he is not in any rush to cut, which builds confidence that he doesn't recommend surgery unless it's necessary."

"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!"
