I visited Dr. Lee Kaback at OrthoNY for an injury, and I am deeply grateful for the care I received. Dr. Kaback conducted a thorough evaluation, offered honest and realistic advice, and gave me full confidence in my ability to heal naturally without undergoing unnecessary surgery. His bedside manner is compassionate, direct, and truly encouraging. If you are seeking an upper-extremity specialist in the Capital Region who prioritizes the genuine well-being of the patient, I highly recommend Dr. Kaback and the OrthoNY team.

Dr. Kaback is a true professional!! I can say that in his field of practice, he has to be the best in the Capital Region. I had a full shoulder replacement done by him. I can truly say that, I have had absolutely no issues or problems!! 2 weeks from surgery I had all kinds of motion with no pain. 3 months later practically have full motion. On top of his expertise, his patient/ doctor relationship is outstanding!! He truly cares for his patients and explains exactly what will take place and he does it with passion. Thank You Doctor Kaback for being the BEST! Also along with Dr. Kaback, I cannot leave out PA Laura Piazza. She has the same mannerisms as Dr. Kaback. She also truly cares about her patients! She really makes you feel comfortable when you’re talking to her. Thank You Laura for being so professional and caring!! What a GREAT TEAM you two are!!! Thank You again!!

Dr. Kaback replaced my shoulder 1 year ago! I had postponed the inevitable for years expecting long rehab, severe post op pain, and life long limitations. The whole process went smoother and was less painful than I expected. My ROMs are much better than I could have imagined. He will be replacing my other shoulder, (my dominant one) very soon! Thank you Dr. K and your PA, Laura Piazza for such great care!!
