I had gone to Orlin and Cohen in 2017 because my left knee was painful when walking and climbing stairs. I tried cortisone and gel shots, which gave me some relief! I don’t remember which doctor I saw at that time. After the pandemic, I went to see Dr. Leung at Orlin and Cohen in June 2024. He sent for x-rays, and the results were bone-on-bone arthritis on my left knee! He suggested some non-invasive procedures, but I told him they had not been that successful in the past, so I decided to have knee replacement surgery! Dr. Leung started the ball rolling immediately! He scheduled my surgery for July 26, 2024! Dr. Leung 's staff at Orlin & Cohen was informative and efficient regarding what the procedures I was to undergo. Pre-op was at Northwell Health in Valley Stream was thorough and well-organized. The surgery was at the same hospital. On the day of the surgery, I went there early in the morning. Like the pre-op the place ran like a well-oiled machine, setting me up for a 7:30 surgery. Dr. Leung and his anesthesiologist visited me before the surgery, letting me know what to expect! Both were very clear on what they were going to accomplish. I found them very professional and empathetic! The surgery which was done robotically went extremely well. Dr. Leung is an exceptional surgeon and has great bedside manner! It is now 7 months since my surgery, and the knee is doing great! I would like to thank Dr. Leung and his staff for my new knee. After vigorous physical therapy, my range of motion and knee function are fantastic! I would recommend him to anyone who needs a knee replacement, he’s the best. The world is definitely a better place with him in it!
