If you want to be told you're faking your injuries because you're not limping hard enough, go to this guy. Apparently he thinks having a syringe stuck in your knee and wriggled around is so much fun that people will lie to get it done.

Wow, what a great experience I had today visiting Dr. Turtel's office. His office staff are incredibly polite, caring, and efficient. The doctor saw me without any wait. He has good people skills and is kind and supportive. He is very professional and competent. He immediately got to work assessing my shoulder and on the road to recovery. I am so pleased that I chose to see Dr. Turtel.

Luckily I didn't need any extensive treatment with Dr Turtel, but for the time I was there, I found him to be kind, professional, caring, personable and very helpful. He took his time and did not rush. And his staff is very nice. I didn't know before stepping into his office, he works with many famous professional athletes and Olympians. He is the Osteopathic Surgeon to the stars! Highly recommend Dr Turtel.

Referred to me through insurance. He seems to be interested in working with athletes but thoroughly arrogant if you are not. He spent 5 minutes with me and the examination consisted of telling me to walk as he watched me. He then said, 'Do you know what a rep is? You need to do strength training.' That was it. A waste of money and time.

Happy to quickly diagnose and do surgery. Then, after poor outcome he becomes a ghost. Arrogant and disinterested in doing right by his patients. Plays fast and loose with insurance claims. The stars are for his office staff who are well intentioned and kind.

Wonderful Doctor with great staff. I have had a knee replacement (right knee), as well as arthroscopic cleanup (left knee) done by this doctor and have been very happy with his care, advice and follow-up. Could not ask for better care.
