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.

Best Surgeon Lennox Hill
Dr Valery Dronsky is the best surgeon and the only one we trust. He saved my husband's life 4 times. If I had any surgery to undergo, he is the only one I would trust. Thank you Dr Dronsky for being part of our lives.

After presenting an urgent situation necessitating specialized surgery he claimed to do, Dr. Dronsky arrogantly funneled me off to residents, meaning med students in training without the expertise he advertises. The office staff was similarly rude and unhelpful, talked over me, and insulted me for having a disability. One star is too many!

emergency surgery
I needed emergency gallbladder surgery and by luck I got Dr. Dronsky. He is very friendly and reassuring and made me feel very secure. It was my first time ever in a hospital. The surgery was completely successful and went very smoothly.

The best doctor and human being there is
It was a pleasure to walk into Dr. Droshky’s office and get the care and attention from his very nice professional stuff- Nicole, Dawn - and to be in a very clean office , no waiting time . To say that Doctor Droshky is the best would be an understatement, his expertise is unmatched, he makes you feel comfortable, relax and secured, that you are in the hands of the best doctor, surgeon God has created, because that is what he is!! When he examined me, right away he knew what it had to be done about my hernia and what procedure was the best for my condition, Dr. Droshky, is kind, patient and he answer all my questions, and put me at easy, he wanted to make sure I understood everything. Dr. Droshky is the best surgeon on this planet and in the universe, all the doctors and surgeons should learn from him, but must of all he is a great human being, I wish we could clone him, thank you Dr. Droshky for your excellence for being the great person you are

I had a laparoscopic hernia surgery 5 years ago performed at Beth Israel hospital. After that surgery I was barely able to walk for 2 moths. And the the hernias recurred 2 years later. I need another surgery, but I was afraid that the second surgery would as ineffective as the first. Several different doctors recommended Dr. Dronsky to me. But then I saw Dr. Dronsky, who immediately diagnosed all the problems and even found an additional hernia. He was frank and open with me when he said that the surgery will be difficult since the volume of work done this time will be much larger. He then explained the upcoming surgery to me in a simple language that was easy to understand. The surgery was successful. I had no pain and I started walking normally 2 days later and a month after surgery I have to remind myself the I had it. I am really grateful to Dr. Dronsky whose work exceeded all of my expectations.

I had bilateral surgery repaired in Mar 2021. This is long overdue thank-you to Dr. Dronsky, but better late than never! It was my New Year resolution to write this review, and I am happily doing that on the first day of 2022! On a positive side, my procrastination conveniently lent itself to a comprehensive verification of the outcome. I was somewhat skeptical when Dr. Dronsky told me after the surgery: In couple months, return to your normal activities, no restrictions. He was absolutely right!! In fact, I fully recovered in 6 weeks. Today, my hernia chapter is over and behind, I barely remember how bad it was.. But I do remember Dr. Dronsky! As well as another Dr in the recovery room (sorry his name escaped my memory now), who told me: If I ever need a surgery, I will ask Dr. Dronsky! On my "why", he said: Because I saw him at work, and saw many of his patients after that! Thank you Dr. Dronsky!! Keep doing the great work for all of us! Best, Alex

Dr Dronsky is a brilliant surgeon. I had a robotic bi-lateral chronic incarcerated hernia surgery. Whatever the Dr stated would happen pre and post-op happened. Like it was a written script for a movie and flawless.

Dr Dronsky operated on me a year ago for inguinal hernias. That went very well. Last month I needed an operation for an abdominal hernia. Again, Dr Dronsky did a great job. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Dr. Dronsky is an exceptional surgeon. He thoroughly detailed any questions I had preoperatively. I was soon able to resume my regular activities after my hernia procedure. I must also add that his staff are kind and helpful. Steven S. 10/14/20

Looking for a hernia Dr? Look no further! Dr.Dronsky and his team were very professional. He did my hernia surgery on 10/23/2019 I was able to start working after three weeks doing plumbing work. Recovery was very quick thanks to his talent and post op instructions. Also let’s not forget about the office staff, they’re very polite, fast and prompt. Im very fit and in good health and I was afraid to have surgery but I’m glad I did. If you have a hernia go visit Dr.Dronsky you’ll be glad you did.

I don’t do reviews. But this was my first “real” surgery. I was terrified and all that comes with it. Dr. Dronsky was very professional and definitely took the time to make feel more at rest. He was also the first recommended by my GP of more than 20 years.

Dr. Dronsky was a very knowledgeable and highly talented surgeon. He completed the procedure in a timely fashion and his team of assistants made sure that I was treated with the utmost attention in the recovery room. I had three hernias repaired during one procedure and he was able to completely alleviate my pain in those three regions due to his profound surgical skills. It has been a month since the surgery was done and I feel no pain at all. I will without a doubt recommend this Surgeon.
