How this practice works

The aim is simple: return the injured patient to normal in the shortest possible time, using the least invasive method available, surgical or otherwise. Most patients seen here do not end up having an operation.

That goal is met using current techniques and technology, and knowledge gained through research, education and experience. Treating patients with compassion, kindness and respect is a cornerstone of the practice.

What patients say

Read all reviews

Dr. Seneviratne takes time to answer questions with clear explanations. His surgical team was highly professional, kind and also took the time to listen and address concerns. ACL patella tendon autograft was both doctor's and my preference, other surgeons tried to talk me out of this option. Site looks fantastic, scar is small and neat. Dr. Seneviratne and his team plus great PT team has me back skiing in seven months. Have referred him to multiple friends already.

Dr. S. is a knowledgeable and patient physician and conservative doctor, which I like. He listens to me and answers all my questions-nothing is "silly." He is like an old time physician of my youth.

February 18, 2015 · New York, NY

Dr. Seneviratne is not only a highly competent surgeon, but he is a truly compassionate physician. His demeanor is refreshingly atypical of what you would expect of a highly successful NYC surgeon. He is confident, but not arrogant. The office is extremely well run and his employees are very pleasant and easy to work with.
