Dr. William Macaulay, MD

Surgery wen well. Doctor was pretty helpful in answering my queries pre surgery and his team helped thoroughly in the post op rehab.

5 stars! Choosing Dr. Macaulay to perform my bilateral total knee replacement surgery was the best decision I ever made. I was initially terrified to have the procedure but his calm bedside manner, superior intelligence and experience all put me at ease. After my initial appointment he encouraged me to go to physical therapy to get in shape and strengthen my knees and surrounding muscles. This was so that I would have an easier time recovering. He was absolutely right and while the recovery the first 5 weeks was no cake walk, the results of my surgery were better than I could have ever imagined. I feel like he gave me a new life. I now have 2 perfectly straight strong legs and can do just about everything I choose to do .I have retired from competitive tennis and skiing but now very active in other activities .. It’s an amazing feeling to have 100% total relief from knee pain and able to perform any activity I choose to do .Thank you Dr.Macaulay for everything you’ve done for me!

Dr Macaulay provided a thorough analysis of issues surrounding a full knee revision surgery, explained the surgery in detail, and performed it all as discussed. Recovery has exceeded my expectations in mobility and level of pain. Post op consulting was likewise thorough and informative. Fantastic support staff both in hospital and out.

I am a 67 year old male in generally VG health and Dr. Macaulay replaced my arthritic right hip in August, 2021. I had my surgery at NYU Langone Orthopedic Hospital in NYC and couldn't be more pleased with the results. I went home on the day of surgery using a rolling walker and within 1 week had graduated from a cane to walking unaided. My progress continued at a rapid pace and by 6-8 weeks I was participating in almost all my normal activities including exercising with heavy weights, walking on uneven surfaces, almost all household chores, etc. Dr. Macaulay is an excellent surgeon and his results speak for themselves, truly life changing in my case. In addition, his office and surgical team is top notch and was very responsive to all my questions and concerns. I was a bit hesitant at first to go into NYC from my home in central Long Island for this procedure, but I'm very thankful that I did. It was well worth the extra travel time to benefit from such a terrific outcome.

Dr. Macaulay, Anna and Team were outstanding. My hip replacement could not have gone more smoothly. All steps of the procedure from X-rays to surgery prep clear though recovery and PT were great. I was fully educated on how to prepare to have the best outcome. I not only recommend Dr. Macaulay but I recommend anyone thinking about this surgery should do it today. Don’t prolong pain and postpone joy. It’s all over in a sna. I am a happy customer - and soon I’ll be able to do a cartwheel again!

Dr Macaulay did a fantastic job on my right hip replacement. When I came to see him initially at the age of 52 I could barely walk due to the pain in my hip. After the surgery I’ve gotten back to my prior active self! So grateful for the new lease on life Dr M has given me!

I had a 3rd right knee replacement. The 1st two went bad. I turned to Dr. Macaulay. He was the o ly doctor to realize there was also other substantial damage that needed to be repaired. I went from having virtually no range of motion in my right knee/leg to a full range of motion. Before surgery started Dr. Macaulay clearly explained all all the issues involved and that the surgery would be complicated.

Yes— absolutely. He has a very easy, confidence-inspiring “bedside” manner, one-on-one but is clearly best-of-class in his work. I’m now 3 months out from double-knee replacement and extremely happy with the results.

Incredible revision. I was 35% out of alignment and 1/2” short. Dr Macauley fixed it all. I am now in alignment and my leg is the correct length. Fantastic.

Awesome doctor and team , procedure of total hip replacement went flawless and recovery time was quick and amazingly well. i never imagined it being so quick from start to finish. i cant think of the words to say but , Doc u were amazing , thx u . everything in life should go as well as this went. AWESOME

I met Dr Macaulay for hip pain and had an Xray take. H felt I should take an MRI as a precaution given my pain. The MRI showed potential cancerous growth. He then had me take an MRI with IV contrast. It was negative. He had prompt follow up, was easy to talk too, didn't rush the diagnosis, and very professional.

Dr Macaulay did a THR of my left hip in 11-19 and my right hip in 2-20. He hit it out of the park on both. I stayed in the hospital one night each time and was discharged the day after the surgeries. Dr Macaulay visited me at 6:30 am the morning after both surgeries to check the incision and see how I was doing. In the course of my recovery, whenever I needed to contact him I was able to and he responded quickly via the portal. I interviewed 2 surgeons prior to the first surgery and felt complete confidence and trust in Dr Macaulay. I told him that I had been a very active cyclist but was increasingly limited by hip pain. He was emphatic that I would be able to resume this activity. From that moment I welcomed moving ahead with the surgery. I am now 6 months from the first surgery and 3 months from the second and my only regret is not having Dr Macaulay perform them 2 years earlier. For the first time in 3 years, life is improving for me thanks to Dr Macaulay.

Dr. Macaulay and his entire NYU Team were outstanding from start to finish. The total hip replacement procedure far exceeded my expectations. I was up and around within 24 hours, no complications, just outstanding results. I am so fortunate to have had Dr. Macaulay as my surgeon and highly recommend! Thank you so much!

Surgery and after care went very well

I traveled from North Carolina so I could have the best surgeon help with my damaged joints. So far he has replaced both hips on an outpatient basis everything went perfect. Now he is going to do a knee revision after two failed replacements on my right knee by another surgeon. There is no other surgeon I would trust to do this. Besides being a great surgeon he is easy to talk to and he listens. When he explains things he makes it easy to understand.

Excellent surgeon - very pleased with that. Not so happy with the accompanying residual issues - difficulty getting longer term PT which is badly needed, pain in thigh, and some pain in the leg occasionally, difficulty reaching the doctor or nurse when needed, lack of personal contact from the doctor during the healing process.

I started with Dr. Macaulay for an issue with my knee. He worked with me to avoid surgery and all good! When my hip became bone on bone we tried some therapy but found a replacement was needed. Procedure was excellent. Was back to work in no time. His staff is excellent as is the hospital. Be on time for your appointments because they are! I recommend anyone with knee or hip issues to Dr. Macaulay. Great bedside manner. Genuine concern. He’ll do my other hip when needed!

Professional, straightforward and reassuring

I already did. Actually his work recommended him. My neighbor saw me come home from surgery and a week later and told his partner about me and he has already made an appointment to see Dr. Macaulay. 2 days ago told another person about him

Hip resurfacing went incredibly well as of today, three weeks out. An amazing pre-op process and team. great digital tools to help in my recovery. And a timely and highly responsive team to questions that came up. Highly recommended.
