Great group of people, I felt like they truly wanted to figure out what was causing my pain rather than dismissing me once the Xray came back fine. Highly recommend OrthoNY.

I couldn’t have asked for a better Ortho Doc and team than Dr Polishchuk at OrthoNY in Schenectady. The service was professional yet very personable. Everyone always took the time to actually TALK to you. They stayed on top of my 2 hip surgeries from start to finish. I always had all the information I needed and all the support. All in all they were wonders and it was an exceptional experience. Thank you Dr Polishchuk, Joe Isgro and your whole team in the office, especially Amanda, and my team at Ellis Hospital, especially my anesthesiologist Dr Hendrickson!! You were all wonderful! I would recommend you all to everyone who needs an Ortho doctor!

One of the best urgent medical assistance I’ve ever experienced.The staff was extremely helpful and supportive. When I entered the building I was in so much pain. The lady at the front desk was very helpful, ensuring that another lovely team member accompanied me to the area where I was registered, hand held and all, and with all the emotional support a patient in pain would appreciate. The receptionist who got me registered was equally as sweet. Shortly after which the doctor came out to receive me. I was seen by the doctor before I could finish all my paperwork. I could not have asked for a better service and as urgently as I got at OrthoNY. When I say my entire visit was exceptional. At no point throughout my entire visit did I have any negative encounters. Thanks to you Dr. Suslak and your team for such exceptional service. I truly appreciate you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of orthopedic specialties are offered?

OrthoNY provides specialty care for nearly every part of the body. Patients have access to experts in elbow, shoulder, knee, hip, spine, hand and wrist, foot and ankle, sports medicine, and pain management. These teams treat a range of conditions, including fractures, arthritis, sports injuries, chronic joint pain, and neck and back conditions, offering highly focused care tailored to each patient.

How do I know which doctor or specialty is right for my condition?

The right specialty depends on where symptoms occur and the nature of the problem. Hip, knee, and foot and ankle specialists focus on lower body concerns such as joint pain, instability, and injuries. Shoulder, elbow, and hand and wrist teams manage upper extremity issues, including tendon injuries and arthritis. For back or neck pain, the spine and pain management teams provide both conservative and surgical options.

What is the difference between an orthopedic doctor and a sports medicine doctor?

While both treat injuries and musculoskeletal conditions, their focus is slightly different. Orthopedic doctors diagnose and treat a full spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions, from arthritis and fractures to joint replacement and spinal surgery. Sports medicine physicians specialize in caring for injuries caused during sports or activities. Nearly all OrthoNY sports medicine physicians are orthopedic surgeons who specialize in sports medicine.

How are chronic conditions like arthritis treated across specialties?

Arthritis, which is inflammation of a joint, can affect the hips, knees, shoulders, hands, elbows, or ankles, and can be diagnosed and treated by orthopedic providers. Depending on the location and severity of your arthritis, your surgeon may recommend noninvasive treatments first, including medications and joint injections that can relieve pain for weeks or months. If noninvasive and injection treatments fail to provide lasting relief, your orthopedic surgeon may recommend surgery, such as total or partial joint replacement, or joint resurfacing.
