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.

Rotator Cuff Surgery and Recovery Went Well
In the Spring of 2024 I had rotator cuff surgery with Dr. Zilberfarb and all went well. My experience across the entire process was fantastic; evaluation exam, pre-surgery, surgery, post surgery. Highly recommend he and his team.

Orthopedist
Dr. Zilberfarb is a knowledgeable orthopedic surgeon who is not quick to jump to surgery unless absolutely necessary. He has treated me for several injuries. His bedside manner is impeccable and he always maintains a friendly approach. He is supportive of my athletic goals and assists me in crossing the finish line healthy.

Rotator Cuff Surgery
I underwent this surgery on November 14 and can't believe how fast I am (as a 71 year old) recovering! The office staff are very helpful and friendly. The NP, Deirdre Shea was an excellent teacher of the exercises to be performed post op. Dr. Zilberfarb is both personable and has an excellent bed side manner. In addition, his competence is clearly demonstrated by the response I am experiencing. Thank you all.

Good visit
Dr Zilberfarb has always been very thorough and explains everything in a pleasant manner. He puts me at ease because I get nervous going to the doctors. I leave his office feeling confident in knowing all I need to know about my condition and treatments needed. I would recommend him to family and friends.

Wonderful surgeon
Dr. Zilberfarb repaired my shoulder and I saw him in follow up. I find him to be a, personable, talented and caring physician and surgeon. He listens carefully and thoughtfully to what his patients report to him. Treatment option recommendations are based on that, diagnostic tools, as well as his invaluable experience. For those needing shoulder treatment, I highly recommend him.

The Most Welcoming, Empathetic Diagnostician in NE
I saw Dr. Zilberfarb this morning for knee pain. I had X-rays first and then met with the doctor who examined my knee. He was quickly able to resolve the problem and recommend an over-the-counter medication to use for two weeks. HIs staff is welcoming and attentive, and I always feel at home in his office. I have seen Dr. Zilberfard for a number of joint issues over the years and received the benefit of his professional opinion. It is always convenient to see the doctor and have an X-ray because the other dept. is in the same building. If one requires physical therapy, the clinic is also in the s

Repeat Customer
One doesn't want to be a repeat customer of an orthopedic surgeon but these things happen. Dr. Zilberfarb repaired a rotator cuff and I write this review two days after he did my knee for a meniscus repair. He and his team have done well by me and while I hope to never see them again after I recover this time, I will return if circumstances so dictate.
