Dines Orthopedics - Joshua S. Dines, MD, Uniondale NY

I've had a labral tear surgery by Joshua Dines that left my left shoulder worse. Now the rotator is disconnected from my shoulder thanks to the surgery. I was told that I need a new MRI. But Dines office said they will not issue a new MRI prescription. They want me to get a MRI prescription from a different doctor and bring it to him. Waste of time.

I’ve been fortunate enough to have Dr Dines as my orthopedic doctor since 2016. He listens to and addresses all of my concerns (and poor guy, there have been a few), he is an effective communicator and a more than competent physician. He has a pleasant bedside manner and his skills are second to none. If you need orthopedic surgery, he is the man for the job.

I saw Dr. J. Dines on Thursday. Surgery was scheduled for Monday. A well-oiled machine. Very efficient staff. My experience so far is awesome.

Dr. Joshua Dines fixed my right elbow (3/4 torn UCL) by two PRP injections, I am now 100% from that. Unfortunately I had a severe left elbow injury recently that he operated on: my entire elbow, the nerve, distal bicep and tricep. A few weeks out and just starting my recovery program. Besides having such a great staff, he truly is the best doctor out there - I have and always will recommend him to others in need of the top care there is. Most doctors I feel like a number, Dines remembers everything about you and is very personable. Don’t think twice, definitely go to him if needed!

He repaired my ACL and meniscus in 2013. He did a great job. My only problem was my first few weeks in therapy I had horrible therapist and that time frame is crucial when it comes to this type of post op surgery. Overall Dr. Dines did a great job. I was injured on the job and he helped me. So the comment regarding his does not help people on the job is not true. I’m uniform staff and he helped.

Whenever you come in for your appointment, Dr. J. Dines, always takes the time to explain things to you in such a simple but caring way.
