Dr Buttochi is the absolute best, I’ve been lucky to have had him for many years, he listens and understands pain and has the best demeanor I’ve ever seen. It’s been many years since I seen him and he’s tending to my needs. To me he’s the best, I’ve recommended him to several people in need of his services.

Ortho NY is the only place I go any time I injure myself. The staff is always welcoming and prompt to check me in. The wait time is never very long to see my provider. My last appointment was with Dr. Buttaci and he had to do X-rays which then he then reviewed his interpretation and concerns with me. That was exceptional care. Thank you Doctor Buttaci.

Dr. Buttaci has been my doctor for about 15 years, since a car accident injured my back. He was sensitive to a bad experience I had with injections and went out of his way to reassure me and make me comfortable. He has taken time to get to know me and understand me and he knows how to deal effectively with exacerbations. I have had no need to go elsewhere and trust his judgment. He listens and is kind. He has great skill with injections and I trust him.
