Wikipedia Article About Dr. Paley

My Review: There is not doubt and question that Dr. Paley is a world expert at his chosen field of Practice. He has developed some revolutionary surgical techniques for limb deformity treatment and if you were to desire to gain extra height, Dr. Paley is the person to do it. However, it seems that he is a little bit inattentive, hard to reach, and doesn’t focus much of his time on connecting to the patient. That is understandable given his schedule and his work. Some things that were brought up in the reviews is that it seems Paley may be involved in some immoral medical practices in getting cheaper rates for external fixators. I don’t know anything about this claim.

12/1/11 1 1 1 1 Does anyone realize Dr. Paley, was dismissed from his hospital that he was practicing in while in Maryland. He was fee splitting money from the representive who was supplying the frames he uses at the hospital. Plus, the representive was his girlfriend. Needless to say, he was dismissed from the hospital he was at. Read the responses to this rating

8/9/11 5 2 5 5 Although you may have to wait for Dr. Paley for hours, it is well worth it. He doesn’t send anyone home without seeing you and has been in the office as late as 10:30 pm to ensure that everyone is seen. My son broke his leg last week and his PA sent him the xrays via email on his Iphone and Dr. Paley responded within minutes all the way from Sicily. How many doctors would do that? Dr. Paley is the best surgeon and is the only surgeon I would trust to operate on my son’s deformities (TAR Syndrome). I can’t say enough great things about him and his entire staff.

6/22/10 5 3 5 5 Dr. Paley is unquestionably the most competent orthopedic surgeon in the US, and possibly the world in the field of leg lenghtening and handling complex orthopedic cases, particularly pediatric. My 14 year old son has had 16 surgeries, 3 with Dr. Paley, and is nw walking with a kneed that bends after 4 prior surgeons recommended amputation or fusion. To be treated by the best surgeon to receive the gift of mobility and limb functionality is worth every hour of waiting time.

4/30/10 1 1 2 5 Dr. Paley made me feel like I did not matter. At all. I never saw him post-op, and whenever I had problems with my fixator (such as a strut popping off!) I could not reach him for several days. To me, even if this was a matter of personality conflict, it was extremely unprofessional and really cost me in terms of fighting spirit. After all, if the doctor isn’t behind you, who is? In my case, everyone else, I guess. I wouldn’t go back to the office. Logged in users can respond to this rating

9/14/06 2 5 5 He may be overbooked and time delayed, but he is the most incredible doctor I have ever known. He is the #1 doctor in the nation and internationally for limb deformity. He saved my leg when 3 other orthopaedic doctors wanted to amputate. I walk today unassisted,on my own two feet. The time I have had to wait was a small price to pay to have both of my legs and feet. As for bedside manner, he is honest, caring, and to the point. You may have to wait to see him, but the rewards are priceless. He never has short changed me on time, or attention to my medical needs when I am in his office. He gives everyone the time necessary to treat, answer questions, and provide what is needed for each patient. Logged in users can respond to this rating

8/26/06 1 3 5 Dr. Paley is technically the best in his field. I trust hom completely in terms of medical decisions. Unfortunatley he is so busy that you must often wait hours – 3-5 hours – to see him past your scheduled appointment. His bedside manner is also rather lacking. Unless you have a specific questions ready to ask him he will be in and out of the room in a matter of minutes.
