Dr. Donald Rose, board certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgeons and the National Board of Medical Examiners, is an Associate Attending Orthopaedic Surgeon at NYU Langone Health. In practice since 1986, he specializes in arthroscopic surgery as well as sports and dance related injuries of the knee, shoulder, labral tears of the hip.
Few advances in surgical techniques have been as beneficial as the development of arthroscopic surgery. An arthroscopic procedure greatly reduces the "invasiveness" of surgery; it allows a surgeon to make only a few small incisions instead of one large incision - as is common with open procedures. A reduction in surgical invasiveness is helpful for many reasons, one of which is the improvement in recovery time after surgery.

I was a patient of Dr Rose in 2002.....I had broken/dislocated my left ankle in 2000 & arthritis set in.
I went to see Dr Rose & he suggested a fusion of my left ankle which he performed.
I am writing this review now because I have been to see 2 other Drs regarding my right foot over the past year & both looked @ my left foot & could not believe my left ankle was fused.....until they saw my Xrays.
So if you want a perfect surgery ( he even made sure I could wear 1" heels w/the fusion)......and one that has lasted almost 20 yrs....go see Dr Rose. Thank-you so much Dr Rose

Amazing and extremely patient. I was in excruciating pain when I arrived to get X-rays taken- literally was screaming and crying from pain as the kind technician tried to take images. Dr. Rose entered the X-ray room and adjusted my leg in a position which I was no longer screaming and the technician was able to take clear images. When he examined my knee he immediately saw them felt the amount of fluid that was causing me grave pain so he provided me with lidocaine first then withdrew 40ccs of blood from my knee! Insane! Instant relief and a better knee brace that helped stabilize me more.

I was recommended Dr.Rose from my dance coach. I'm a professional dancer and I dance for the NBA. I torn my acl, had a bucket handle displacement on my lateral meniscus, and a tear on my medial meniscus. He was my second opinion surgeon and I'm glad I decided to follow through with surgery with him. He made me feel safe and provided me with all the knowledge I needed to know and answered all my questions. The staff in the office is amazing. Everyone is super friendly and the wait time is perfect. I'm 5 months post surgery and have a few months left, but I sure Can't wait to

The doctor's office did a whole work-up, including x-rays . I was seen by the physician assistant and Dr Rose himself....all before telling me that they don't treat my orthopedic
toe condition .
An ethical med office would have told me that they don't treat my condition as soon as I filled out their forms...rather than accumulate multiple fees first , and only then sending me
away . That's not honest and fair dealing.

The worst staff/office and professional ethics ever. When you first enter the office the staff could care less about your needs. They are too busy eating and chatting with each other to serve the patients. They are rude and obnoxious and lack any personal customer service skills. With so many Dr s to choose from in NYC THE FRONT OF HOUSE STAFF IS WHAT MAKES THE PLACE and this place has the worst by far. Go elsewhere where you will receive courtesy and a feeling of graciousness and appreciation for your business.

I recently tore my ACL skiing. I had Dr. Rose perform my surgery. He is one of the best doctors/surgeons around! Top Notch! He used a hamstring graft for my reconstruction. From my initial consult to my surgery to my post op, I have received the best care! 7wks out of surgery I have full function back. I will most likely be cleared to return to running at 12wks post op! If you tear you ACL - Dr. Rose is the doctor to fix it and get you back to your life/sports! Also, the staff is warm and friendly - I never had to wait long to see him. 3wks post op, I had a fall and was afraid I damaged my graft

I went to this Dr for the first and last time last week. He seemed great but not worth the terrible attitude and rudeness of their office staff. Wow, if only I had recorded the interactions--not just with me--I think the Dr would be horrified at how he is represented. Listen ladies, I'd be bummed to work in a job like yours too, but most of your patients are there because they are in need of help. The least you could do is keep your bad attitude and meanness to yourself. Maybe work in a place where human interaction and some compassion are not job requirements?

I was referred to Dr. Rose last year when we found out my daughter needed a tibial osteotomy. Getting an appointment was easy, he wasn't rushing her in for the big surgery, in fact, he recommended a smaller surgery to get her out of pain. She opted for the osteotomy to insure her knee would stop dislocating. Surgery went unbelievably well and thanks to Dr. Rose her scarring is minimal. I was forewarned that this surgery leaves very large scars and I was shocked when he removed her bandages at our first post-op visit and saw the small incisions he had made. Follow-up surgery to remove the

I never have to wait long which is pretty awesome. Great dr. Very no nonsense and straightforward. I came in with ankle pain and after an xray, found out I had an os trigonum that was acting up. We tried rest, physio, and I changed my pointe shoes and ribbons to one's that wouldn't press on the area and aggravate it more but dr rose and I came to the decision that I would need surgery to finally get rid of the pain once and for all.

I have been seeing Dr.Rose for over 20 years. He is wonderful!
I have also had my mom see him and my friends. We all had surgery and the Dr. and staff made it easy as possible.
My situation was complicated and Maria always had time to review and resolve my issues.
He is the best...and when people boast about having the BEST DOCTOR...you know they are speaking about dr. Rose!

My husband was Dr. Rose's patient for years, and sadly he doesn't accept our current insurance. This guy is a GOD, super-respected by his peers and anyone who knows about orthopedics. He operated on my husband's shoulder and wrists. He's a total pro, at the height of his profession, and a VERY GOOD GUY. If you can use him, do it! I only wish we didn't have to switch.

How has this doctor not been reviewed yet? He patiently listened to my spiel, answered all of my questions, gave me what appeared to be a thorough exam (not a dr; wouldn't know for sure), assuaged my fears, and did not seem surgery-crazed.
His front office staff (especially Maxine and Maria) is kind and thoughtful, and went above and beyond to help me. For example, Maria called around to schedule my MRI for me -- I've never seen an office do that.
Neither Dr Rose nor his staff made me feel rushed or like a bother.
These should not be unusual features in medical services but we
