Dr. Steven Below, MD, an orthopedic surgeon with over 25 years of experience, has garnered a mixed overall sentiment from patients, reflected in a 3.9-star rating based on seven reviews. Many patients express positive experiences, highlighting his excellent bedside manner, thorough explanations of conditions, and a patient-centered approach that avoids rushing into surgery. Reviewers appreciate his kindness and the clarity with which he communicates treatment options, often noting that he exhausts non-surgical methods before considering surgical interventions. However, there are notable criticisms regarding his punctuality, with several patients reporting significant delays of up to two hours for appointments. This has led some to seek care elsewhere after repeated issues with wait times. Additionally, there are isolated instances where patients felt misdiagnosed or inadequately treated, particularly concerning sports injuries. Overall, while Dr. Below is praised for his expertise and caring demeanor, potential patients should weigh the concerns about his scheduling and consistency in diagnosis when considering him for orthopedic care.
