Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Seneviratne is amazing! He is very clear, thorough and reassuring on the visits pre-surgery, at the day of it and at post-op appointments. He transpire calm and confidence and always made me smile. He's a great human being besides being a great doctor. The office staff and nurses are very friendly and competent as well. I had nearly no wait time on every visit to the office. I 100% recommend Dr. Seneviratne!

Went in for knee surgery, came out with debilitating chronic pain in my foot. He dismissed me. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this doctor or the colleagues he chooses to associate himself with. This was a devastating experience for me and my family. I hope no other patient ever has to go through this.

Dr. Seneviratne is excellent! Superb knowledge, experience and common sense. Very helpful, thorough and supportive. I went to him for a broken arm from falling; not specifically sports medicine. Facility is good with fast and expert X-ray technicians right there, exceptionally courteous receptionists, everything clean. Waiting time varies. He answers all questions. I appreciated his calm demeanor, solid expertise, and coordination of recovery with appropriate physical therapy.

Dr Seneviratne's and his team's guidance and support through my entire surgical process from diagnosis through rehabilitation was very comforting. Every x-ray and MRI result was reviewed together with him and explained in understandable terms. As a kayaker, he understood my individual goals and thanks to him and his team I'm back on the water again!

DR. Seneviratne is an outstanding orthopedic surgeon. I was visiting NYC and fell and had a proximal humerus fracture. I was so fortunate to have him as my surgeon. He is superbly talented, compassionate and excellent in every way. As a nurse, I have seen the good, the bad and the ugly. He is the BEST!!

After fracturing my tibia due to a sports related stress fracture, the doctors are Lenox Hill Hospital referred me to Dr. Aruna Seneviratne. I am so glad that they did. Dr. Seneviratne is a true professional and understood the complexities of my injury. The surgical operation to fix my leg could not have gone any better. I was back to walking within 2-3 weeks and now I am fully back to high intensity training after 6 months. I owe a great deal of gratitude to Dr. Seneviratne and his staff.
