Frederick J Fletcher's Online Review Report Card Is this you? Claim your profile

In 2018 Dr. Fletcher (OrthoNY) did my first knee in December of 2018, in August 2020 my 2nd knee was done which was delayed because of COVID. Dr.Fletcher gave me back my quality of life and I felt very comfortable with him from the start. He truly is an honest and caring individual and listens to and addresses all of your concerns. Unfortunately I started my journey in 2014 at the Bone & Joint Center and the doctors there told me basically "you are fat, lose weight and your knees will feel better." Yes, I am a bigger guy, I worked for years on a beer truck delivering and it beat me up pretty good. I'm not a sedentary guy at all but trying to exercise with 2 destroyed knees was not going to make the horrific pain go away, all I can say is the Bone & Joint Center's doctors have terrible bedside manners. I am so grateful for going to OrthoNY and meeting Dr.Fletcher, once the newest knee heels completely I'll be walking the dogs and walking with my wife.

Dr Fletcher and PA Joe Krout are top notch. On our initial visit I felt an almost instant connection, deep and personal, as if Dr Fletcher were a blood relative.I am a physician myself and I know, after many years of practice, what it takes to be committed to serving each and every one of the many people who come for help. It is impossible without a total commitment and dedication to this calling. At the risk of overdoing it, I will conclude by sharing the joy of now being able to walk on my own two feet after more than 2 years of severe hip pain and being incapacitated.My entire family is medical including my wife who is now a retired nurse and I had a number of recommendations of superb surgeons in and around NYC. I have no regrets as at every level I was treated with the utmost professionalism.Thank you, Dr Fletcher and PA Joe Kraut for giving me a new hip and a new lease on life ! God bless you and your entire staff.M Galante, MD

Dr. Fletcher has performed a minimally invasive joint replacement on my left side and my right side as well. I can live again, PAIN FREE! He spends a lot of time and listens. I highly recommend him to all of my friends and family.

I had my hip replaced by Dr. Fletcher and it went smoothly with a very small incision. He spends a lot of time with patients answering all their questions. This does cause some waiting time for appts but most other patients I've talked to don't mind because he is so good.

In 2009 after 3 years of putting off surgery, I was referred to Dr. Fletcher by another respected Orthopedic surgeon. I was informed that Dr. Fletcher was a specialist in hip reconstruction and or replacement, Birmingham or other wise. I was able to get an appt, and was very satisfied with sitting down and talking with Dr. Fletcher. He took time to address my concerns and life issues. It was important for me as a father of 3 girls to be active again. He explained after surgery what I was going to need to do in order to make it work and stay active. I am very pleased with the result s.

Dr. Fletcher spent loads of time explaining the B. hip, his experience with it, possible risks and pluses. Surgery went smoothly, outcome positive, followups patient and unhurried. Understands quality of life issues and is able to support athletic pursuits even if they slightly carry slight risk (ie running). Have highly recommended Dr. Fletcher to others who report equally positive experiences and outcomes.

I was referred to Dr Fletcher a year ago after suffering for years. By the time I left my initial appt, I felt like we knew each other for 20 yrs vs 45 mins. He's replaced both my knees this year which has provided me with an actual lifestyle again. While I dislike waiting, my lengthy wait to see him on My appt day is trumped by how much time he provided to me so I understood everything, saw my before & after X-rays, etc.Dr. Fletcher us "The Man" in my view! He's worth any wait to see him, especially if you want the best for yourself & your family.

Best orthopedic in NY love him very kind caring and explained everything.
