Dr. Boettner replaced my hip and in doing so gave me back my life. He was courteous, caring, and competent. My recovery was extraordinary. I would recommend him without reservation to anyone needing this type of surgery. His professionalism and skill were apparent.

Dr Boettner is very knowledgeable and cares about his patients. Not only is he a gifted surgeon and he also has a great bedside manner. My knee replacement scar is half the size of the typical scar and should fade so it is barely noticeable. My rheumatologist was amazed in how fast my knee healed. Although Dr. Boettner performs his surgeries in the city, he does have appointments conveniently in Westchester.

Left knee completely replaced under Dr. Boettner and beyond happy (and grateful). After visiting 2 doctors locally and going through needless surgeries (scope and shots which did nothing) only Dr. Boettner said "you need surgery, not today but def within 2 years). He's honest, professional and transparent. Did the surgery at HSS in NYC - amazing team. Going to phy therapy every patient there and nurses says the cut is so straight n small compared to others! I cannot recommend him enough, and HSS

I had an anterior THR on December 1, 2017, and I was home the next day. Dr. Boettner’s recommendation was “walk, walk, walk,” and although I was sceptical about not having physical therapy, I followed his instructions and within 2 weeks I was driving and back at the gym. He is an excellent surgeon; he is thorough and explained everything. I have and will continue to recommend him.

I had malaligned kneecaps and bone deterioration in both knees that various orthopedists told me could not or should not be dealt with. Dr. Boettner was not deterred. He did total knee replacement on each of my knees within the last 6 months and I am recovering very well. I highly recommend a visit to Dr. Boettner if you have been told that there is nothing that can be done. He and his team are highly professional and I was extremely pleased with the care I received at HSS. --M. Dalrymple

I am 53yrs old and I have a complicated knee history back from when I was young and needed a tibial tuberosity relocation, a lateral release and other procedures to help deal with a regularly dislocating patella. Dr B was the only one of the 3 drs that that I consulted w that physically examined my knee and my history. He determined that surgery was not imminent and opted to try a cortisone injection. I am pain free for the first time in 6 mo. When I finally need the surgery dr B it is!

Dr Boettner is a wonderful surgeon. He did bilateral hip replacements 3 months apart and I have my life back. I am very grateful and I highly recommend him.
