The doctors, PAs, and staff at OrthoNY are excellent. Dr. Montgomery did a remarkable job with my back surgery. And I recently had a consult with PA-C Kristin Kandiel who went over my case very thoroughly, took the time to assess my current situation, and patiently answered all my questions. I would recommend both PA-C Kandiel and Dr. Montgomery without hesitation.
