Dr. Putterman was recommended to me by a friend more than 15 years ago. I made an appointment at his (then Plainview) office and have been his patient ever since. Dr. Putterman's professionalism and understanding are only two of his many assets. He performed surgery on my right knee for a torn meniscus and he made me feel completely relaxed beforehand. The staff at this office are also great at their jobs. I have to say Dr. Putterman is the BEST and as long as he is practicing, I will be his patient.
