Ron Noy, MD

I was recommended to Dr. Noy by my primary care physician. Unlike my physician, Dr. Noy never allows a long wait at his office and takes his time with his patients. I had labrum surgery on my shoulder — Dr. Noy took the time to answer all of my questions and to provide options when it came to my shoulder problems. Everything about the surgery, rehabilitation, and subsequent recovery went very smoothly. I would highly recommend Dr. Noy to anyone looking for a professional and skilled Orthopedic surgeon.

I am a 29 yr old female who just ran the 2^nd hardest NYC marathon in NYC’s history. I finished with flying colors in crazy high wind velocity and extreme cold. I love any combat sport. Although my career is in entertainment, I was asked to train with the cadets at West Point because I love military fighting and any type of challenge (and I’m only 5 ft 1). I turn to sports as my therapy and my «go-​to,» to meet people and be interactive in life in general.
I hit the slopes skiing and on my 2^nd run of the AM before 9AM, I fell and ended up having a complete tear of my right ACL. Who knew THIS would become my worst nightmare. I had no idea what I was in for or what I had done.
I saw Dr. Noy 2 days later thinking I would be fine– «pain is mental.» I cried when I heard the damage I had done and when I found out that I would be needing reconstructive knee surgery.
However, Dr. Noy and his staff (Josh, Rosemary and Tom) are AMAZING. They gave me my life back with a new perspective and what I will eventually have… «a Bionic knee!!» I have a cadaver tendon in place of my torn ligament. I had pre-​op PT because my initial meeting with Dr. Noy, my knee was too swollen and not ready for operation. Pre-​op PT was incredibly helpful. *My surgery was scheduled on 3÷24÷15 (My skiing accident happened on 2÷21÷15)
I (touch wood!), had never had an injury before– EVER! I really had NO IDEA what I was in for… I thought I would be living off pain killers and bed ridden. To my surprise I only took 2 Vicodin that night/​day leading after surgery. I was walking OUTSIDE without crutches! (however I had my mom nearby) with my brace on. My recovery is a long road ahead I’m realizing, but it will be completely worthwhile at the end of the year! Not to mention, every day I’m growing stronger.
Aside from the surgery, Dr. Noy and his staff you will not find any where else in any borough or any where in the world– they are the greatest people. Salt to the earth and a natural remedy for healing a torn ACL ;)

My experience from start to finish with Dr. Ron Noy has been excellent. The staff was extremely helpful with absolutely everything. My initial appointment was scheduled soon after I called the office. Dr. Noy was extremely thorough with his examination of my fully torn ACL and partially torn meniscus. He looked over my MRI and explained to me exactly what had happened with the ligaments in my knee. He answered all the questions that I had concerning my injury and the surgery that was necessary to fix my injury. He explained to me how the surgery would be performed, the exact medications that I would need, the exact dosages and times in which I should take the medicines, and the machines necessary for a quick and proper recovery. A motion machine was dropped off to my home 2 days before the surgery along with a cold therapy unit which helps ice the knee and reduce swelling much better than an ice pack or a bag of peas could. I must add that I saw two other orthopedic surgeons for opinions and a diagnosis before I visited Dr. Noy’s office. I should have saved myself the time and went to him first. One of the previous surgeons that I had visited for an opinion was not able to detect that I had damage behind my kneecap to my patellar tendon and that using a section of that ligament to reconstruct my ACL would be damaging to my patellar tendon (basically fix one thing and have an issue with another). Dr. Noy on the other hand, was able to notice that from the MRI and used a cadaver tendon to construct the ACL. The cadaver tendon he used is one of the strongest tendons in the body compared to a hamstring tendon or patellar tendon. I only have 4 tiny incisions on my knee rather than a huge scar that is six inches down my knee. I DID NOT take any narcotics during my entire recovery, just Tylenol and Aleve. His technique allows for minimal pain and quicker recovery. I was up and walking within a week and able to flex my leg 125 degrees within 2.5 weeks. I was up and walking within a week. I recommend Dr. Noy to everyone. You can tell that he enjoys what he does and has a passion for his work. I have never come across a more hands on doctor.

Dr. Ron Noy is incredible! He did my ACL replacement surgery on June 5, 2012. Talking to many people that told me I wouldn’t be able to run/​train for another year, Dr. Ron Noy had other intentions. Two months after my surgery I started playing beach volleyball, ran on the treadmill, leg pressed more than I weigh, bike rode over the brooklyn bridge and now I am playing on a kickball team.
I met another girl during physical therapy that hasn’t started running, lifting weight or can hardly flex her leg. I found out her surgery was scheduled 5 days after mine and what a difference, thanks to Dr. Ron Noy! Don’t get me wrong, it was painful but now I am almost as good as new!
Definitely recommended!

They wrote a prescription for an MRI for the wrong thumb… after x-​raying… and after bracing the correct thumb. Pathetic.

Dr. Ron Noy is by far the best doctor I’ve ever been to.
There’s never much of a wait. Dr. Noy listens carefully and attentively making sure to find the best treatment for me. For me he didn’t suggest surgery and even suggested that I would be fine doing strengthening exercises on my own instead of spending a lot of money going to PT all the time.
With Dr. Ron Noy you can email me and if you’re feeling fine you do not need to see him. He’s not interested in taking your money but about helping you recover. I always trust his advice and leave confident about how to treat my body in the future. I am never rushed and in fact he always partakes in pleasant bantering and small talk.

so when you don’t run/​workout for 3 years and then sign up for a half-​marathon… good chance you’ll be Unilocaling for ‘sports medicine.’
i was able to get an appointment with dr. noy quickly, and everyone at the office was very professional and friendly.
dr. noy himself seemed genuinely interested in my injury and went through a number of questions and exams to determine exactly what was wrong.
once the problem was pinpointed, dr. noy did a great job explaining what and why everything was happening, and going over different treatment plans.
luckily my injury was not major, but i wouldn’t hesitate to go back if needed.

Dr. Noy is awesome! I tore my ACL and meniscus the first time I played tennis. When I got to his office a few weeks later, I knew I’d be in good hands. He’s worked on sports stars and athletes, so I was confident he could handle my non-​athletic a$$…err, I mean knee. Anyway, I underwent surgery and he sent me home with some machine that took up a lot of floor space in my living room, but made keeping my leg elevated and cold, so much simpler. I had very little pain and a very quick recovery time. I opted out of post-​op therapy and instead worked out at the gym… my results have been excellent and I’d refer him to anyone.
