Mr. Alberto Carli

I had a knee replacement at a different Hospital. It got infected and required an additional surgery. I was placed on lifetime antibiotics. A While later, I started developing sores on the knee. They switch Antibiotic, which did not help. When I first met Dr Carli, he was very easy to talk to and took the time to explain what he felt I needed and explained, they would need to run test and wanted to discuss the results with his team and other Dr’s before a final decision was made. This made me very comfortable as he was not just rushing in. They removed the old knee and placed an antibiotic spacer in for a three-month period. Ran test to be sure that the infection was gone and in December of 2022, removed the spacer and replaced the knee. I am now on the road to recovery and have less pain and more movement than before, His entire team have always been helpful and took the time to explain any questions I had. Whish I could give more stars

What a fantastic experience!! What a wonderful, professional experience from start to finish. Dr. Carli was compassionate and took the time to explain what this surgery entailed. Surgery went flawlessly and I feel better than ever. His staff was professional and thorough. A great experience. Would highly recommend.

Every step of my hip replacement procedure went super smoothly, from pre-op to surgery to post-op and follow-up. I would highly recommend Dr Carli and his staff to anyone considering hip surgery.

I fell three years ago & after a failed surgical procedure by another surgeon & due to my complex medical history I was referred to HSS & Dr Carli. I had some other medical issues pop up, so my knee replacement had to be put on hold, but when I went back to see Dr Carli in October it was like no time had passed. I had my knee replacement six weeks ago & I’m feeling great. Dr Carli is wonderful, I’m so happy I found him.

Doctor Carli performed revision knee surgery on both of my knees, in OCT2021 and JAN2023. I chose Dr. Carli due to his experience in reconstructive surgery, his technical knowledge and ability, and his overall confidence. He explained the revision knee procedure in detail and told me of the increased risks of infection and blood clots versus initial knee replacements. I saw him numerous times before my surgeries and he always listened to my concerns, taking his time to answer all of my questions. He put me at ease with his friendly bed side manner and he gained my trust entirely. I felt I was in very capable hands going into my surgeries and that was very important to me. I am 10 weeks out from my recent right knee revision surgery and I'm doing great! My range of motion is 120 degrees, I'm already driving and taking short walks. Dr. Carli is an amazing doctor and surgeon and I highly recommend him to anyone experiencing knee/hip pain and possibly in need of knee/hip surgery.

What a wonderful, professional experience from start to finish. Dr. Carli was compassionate and took the time to explain what this surgery entailed. Surgery went flawlessly and I feel better than ever. His staff was professional and thorough. A great experience. Would highly recommend.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Carli. He is friendly, compassionate and understanding. He listens to every question you have a provides an extremely detailed answer so that your questions are fully answered. He makes sure he fully understands your needs and concerns and only then he give you his professional opinion on your treatment options. His staff is also very friendly and accommodating, They reply to emails and calls very quickly and are always ready to answer any questions or concerns. If you need special surgery, you will not regret putting your care with Dr. Carli. I give him my highest recommendation here and I will also be recommending him to family, friends and colleagues.

Dr Alberto Carli did 2 hip replacement on me to correct a mistake someone else did & after 10 months & And a walking boot for 5 months to give my body time to heal & then went back for x-rays & then my new hip replacement even added a couple of screws for good measure & when I woke up the first thing I asked is when can I walk on it ???? it was purfect & spent 2 nights in the hospital due to a low blood count but surgery was a success in my book I even sent my 87 year old Father in law to Dr Carli who put a new hip replacement on his left side & that man has so many nice things to say about Dr alberto carli how he is a god

I had the extreme good fortune to be accepted by Dr Carli as a patient. He performed a revision which became the fifth operation on my right knee. The previous four were done at a hospital by my home. The result was a very weak leg. It would collapse causing me to fall. At one point I fell down a flight of steps. Dr Carli with a high level of knowledge and skill fixed it. HHS is a hospital that exceeded my expectations. It is well organized and they perform tests I was told I could not get done locally. From greeting, to admission, to technician knowledge and competence, Nursing care is excellent. Best exemplified by Shyh Tien who works in his office, she is extremely capable. I was blessed to be helped by professionals, from other hospital departments who were not only capable but treated me (and it seemed all others) with care and respect. HSS performs at a very high level. Dr. Danielle Feliccia is Dr Carli's incredible assistant. She assists him in the operation room. She also performs a policing function if you don't wear your brace correctly. I would send a message to the general mailbox and many time a pleasant PA would call me back. But many times it would be Dr. Feliccia in the early evening. or next morning. I am not sure she sleeps. Ryan Wadhams coordinates the team interface with patients,, serving as a point person in job that seems a little overwhelming. because of the variety and volume she is handling. I have watched her at her desk and she does not stop. Many thanks to the Carlie TEAM and professionals at Hospital for Special Surgery. They are just at another level. If you have a problem consider them. My experience suggests you will be happy you did. HSS and the Carli TEAM gave me my leg and my life back! Many Thanks to them!

My experience with Dr. Carli and his staff was fantastic from the first meeting to surgery and anytime in between.

Dr. Carli is a wonderful surgeon! I had severely bowed legs and bone on bone with my knees and was avoiding surgery. Dr. Carli suggested. bilateral knee replacement, which was not what I expected. He explained that since he would be straightening my legs (correcting the bowing) it would be better to do both knees at the same time. I was not planning on doing both at the same time, but understood it made sense. I had the surgery six weeks ago and could not be happier. I am walking and going to physical therapy. My experience with Dr. Carli, his staff and HSS was excellent. I am now walking in the park and going out socialy. I highly recommend Dr. Carli and HSS. Pleased with the results!

I procrastinated having full left hip replacement surgery so the pain effected other parts of my body mental and physical. Now as I review my HSS journey I’m overwhelmed with gratitude by Dr. Carli’s excellent talent and care. He maintains while he loves performing surgery he prides himself on making sure all avenues are explored before surgery is advised. He never glossed over or dismissed any of my many concerns as evidenced by his willingness to “doctorsplain” (a good thing) in detail. This highly individualized attention continued both by Dr. Carli and his knowledgeable and responsive staff in the post surgery recovery year. I am forever grateful to his excellent team and to HSS for being a first rate hospital. - [ ]

Once the condition of my left hip was discovered, bone on bone, I decided to have a hip replacement rather than suffering with the limitations that I had been living with. Initially I was referred by my primary physician to a particular practice that I was not impressed with. Considering the proximity of Hospital for Special Surgery ( HSS) I made the decision to have my surgery there, fortunately a number of their surgeons had offices in Paramus, NJ. Briefly I am somewhat of a veteran when it comes to surgery, having both left and right shoulder complete repair since 2014. Each surgery with a different surgeon. The first was through private insurance. I had done a lot of research, spoken to many people and came upon a great Surgeon and team for that particular surgery. The second was through Workmen’s Comp. I’m not saying that he wasn’t a competent surgeon, it was a very impersonal experience. After this I wanted to make sure that I could find a similar practice to that of my should

Surgery went great with Dr Carli. Post op and follow up super as well. Concerned and cosiderate

I couldn't be happier about having decided to have Dr. Carli do my total hip replacement. He and all of the HSS staff were friendly, informative, and professional. All visits including the surgery went like clockwork. Despite the comparatively advanced stage of my arthritis, necessitating some specialized surgical methods, my recovery happened just as smoothly as everything else. I hadn't realized how extensively the arthritis and impaired mobility had narrowed my vision of my future, but now that I'm able to move freely again, I'm planning a number of activities I never thought would be possible again for me.

Dr Carli is an exceptional surgeon who eplained the process of knee replacement surgery in a way that was clear and understandable. He made sure to advise me about all the possibilities that could happen..it was not sugar coated.He answered all my questions and concerns. his office staff is superb...I woud highly recommend him

My experience with Dr. Alberto Carli, orthopedic surgeon with HSS, and his staff has been great. I needed an orthopedic surgeon after many years of suffering. My knee had been injured in a car accident then replaced with a total knee, undergone a total knee revision, then suffered a fracture and damaged ligaments while I was walking. Several other surgeons refused to take on my problem. After months of searching, my answer was Dr. Carli. He talked to my husband and me at length about his plan, answered all my questions and showed great knowledge. Today, after 10 weeks, I am walking with very little pain. As Dr. Carli told me, I have a long road ahead, but I am so happy with my results. Dr. Carli is a wonderful, compassionate doctor with a great listening ear. He even called me at home to reassure me that he could help me. His sense of humor is a plus too, and helps relieve stress. I am so very grateful to have found Dr. Carli and his staff.

Dr. Alberto Carli is an exceptional surgeon who exceeded all of my expectations. From the first visit he took time to understand the multiple issues and complexity of my case, and recommended testing which confirmed his diagnosis and treatment plan. He and the HSS staff in various departments answered questions and gave helpful suggestions pre- and post-surgery. His high level of competency, caring, and professionalism is why I recommend Dr. Carli and will continue seeking his services.

Dr. Carli is exceptional. Highly skilled and a level of respect and empathy for his patients that is a rare combination. I am a retired RN and entrust my healthcare with a discerning eye. Dr. Carli exceeded all expectations. I recommend to all.

Dr Carli was very professional and understanding. He made me feel comfortable which was a plus because initially I was very nervous. He constantly checked in on me, he's one in a million. The attending staff was great as well. They were very caring and patient with me.

I was a runner for over 40 years, and was recommended by a friend to Dr. Carli for knee replacement. From the initial appointment to the procedure It went just as planned. No surprises and I have my life back. I highly recommend Dr. Carli to everyone I know.

I cannot recommend Dr Alberto Carli highly enough. He is everything you want a doctor to be; skilled, professional,compassionate. He is also a good listener and informative. Dr Carli and the HSS team (physicians assistants, nurses, techs, and office staff) were always available to answer my questions. If or when my other hip needs replacement, there is no doubt that it will be done by the hands of Dr Carli.

Dr. Alberto Carli is an excellent physician and skilled surgeon. My hip replacement surgery was 2 months ago. I walked almost ½ mile to my physical therapy appointments on nice days and back home again 3 weeks after the operation. I had mild pain the first 2 weeks and I have been completely pain free and able to resume normal activities for the past 5 weeks. My outcome is outstanding thanks to Dr. Carli and his wonderful staff. Dr. Alberto Carli is an excellent physician and skilled surgeon. My hip replacement surgery was 2 months ago.

i was diagnosed with a really deteriorated hip and would need a total hip replacement. i was told about HSS and found Dr. Carli there and i requested a consultation . he saw me and discussed my problems and made a plan and set me up with a nutritionalist and nurse practitioners to assist me in my weight issues / diabetes which would interfere with my possibility of a surgery.. all this went well lost weight and lowered my A1C level and was on my way to surgery November 03 2021.. three months in now i am doing great and very pleased with the progress and assistance i have received from Dr. Carli and HSS crew thanks so much

18 months ago Dr. Carli did a total right knee replacement. The outcome has been great. Dr. Carli is very caring , responsive and easy to talk to. I would highly recommend him.

I would definitely recommend Dr. Carli to my family and friends. Dr. Carli is a very compassionate Dr. with a wonderful bedside manner. He took the time to listen to my issues and explain my condition. He performed a total hip replaced. The surgery went well and I am doing great. His office staff is wonderful.

Dr. Carli is extremely patient and kind. He spent a lot of time answering my questions honestly and calming my nerves. I am so happy I chose Dr. Carli for my knee replacement and I am very happy with the results.

I am a runner and personal trainer and a very active young 62 year old woman. After surgery he came into my room and said that he could not locate a body part that for the life of me I can’t remember what body part he was referring to- during my surgery but eventually found it underneath and he had only seen that once or twice in his career. I didn’t pay that much attention as I was told first that everything went well. I have been to his office several times since my surgery with pain in my back and my thigh and a hole in my buttocks that is clearly and grossly wrong! He said I have slow bone growth and dismissed the cosmetic issues. Had MRI - X-rays -he referred me to a back doctor and was told to continue p/t and he would have his assistant contact me every week to make sure I was doing well- i never heard from him or anyone from his office again. I am worse now than I was before my hip replacement and have not been able to run since surgery.

I was an active, retired 70 year old who started to experience left hip ie groin pain when jogging and walking. The pain progressed so that jogging was impossible and even walking was difficult. As I had an achilles tendon rupture repair at HSS in 2017, I knew that's where I wanted to go. I researched all the websites and decided upon Dr Carli. We did conservative for 6 weeks but no improvement. Reluctantly, as I wanted to go back to being active again, I scheduled a total hip replacement for 11/3/21. I just had my 6 week follow up and I'm doing extremely well. I can walk without a device 2 1/2 miles comfortably at a brisk pace. I highly recommend Dr Carli for his outstanding surgical skill but also as a great guy. He shows great concern and patience. His staff are all wonderful and accommodating. As a retired Physical Therapist, I know the business, and I couldn't be happier for selecting Dr Carli as my surgeon.

Dr Carli recently performed bi-lateral hip replacements for me at HSS. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Carli and HSS - I'd give 10 stars if I could! Everything was professional and as planned. I am thrilled with my new hips and recommend Dr Carli and HSS to anyone considering hip replacement surgery.

I am very glad that I chose Dr. Carli for my knee replacement. He is skilled, honest, and caring. His staff is impeccable as well. I honestly can't say enough good things. Before my surgery, I received great care and honest information. My care at the hospital was top notch. Dr. Carli spoke to my husband right after the surgery, and later that evening he came to visit me. After discharge, the follow up care was excellent. I called the office several times with questions after my surgery and the staff followed up right away -- even on a Sunday. I would recommend Dr. Carli to my family and friends without reservation.

Dr. Carli is extremely thorough, patient and kind. He answered all of my questions and spent ample time with me. I did not feel rushed and it was clear that he is dedicated to achieving the best results for his patients. I am very happy I chose Dr. Carli. My hip replacement went extremely well. I had no pain after one week. Back to walking 2 miles at the park after 4 weeks. I resumed yoga and the gym six weeks after surgery. The entire HSS staff is amazing. Dr. Carli’s Physician Assistant, Danielle, guided me through seamlessly. I knew I could reach out anytime I needed. All calls were answered immediately or returned promptly. Many thanks to Dr. Carli, his staff & HSS

I will be forever grateful to Dr. Carli. After developing complications with my total knee replacement, I was fortunate to obtain an appointment with Dr. Carli. At my initial appointment he made a preliminary diagnosis and created a plan to confirm it. After exhausting non-invasive procedures, he determined that revision surgery would be the best option to correct the mechanical loosening of my joint. Dr. Carli's enthusiasm, energy, confidence, professional knowledge and creative personality exude excellence and by far exceed any other medical professional I have seen. My entire experience with Dr. Carli and his HSS staff was extraordinary. I am indebted to Dr. Carli and his HSS team. What an incredible feeling it is to walk without pain!

Dr Carli replaced my hip after four months of severe pain. Before surgery Dr Carli was very patient, going through the procedure in detail, answering all my questions I asked with answers I could understand. Dr Carli and his entire staff were amazing before and after surgery. My heartfelt thanks to Dr Carli and his staff for the care and understanding they gave me. I would highly recommend Dr Carli and the HSS, they changed my life for the better.

Dr Carli was extremely caring and my hip replacement was flawless. He was extremely attentive and thorough. I would recommend him highly. HSS was so professional and well organized. If you need to have a hip replaced, this is THE surgeon and THE hospital to go to.

Dr Carli was extremely kind and caring from beginning to end for my hip replacement proceedure! He spent time with me before to tell me what to expect and he was attentive immediately before and after my surgery. I would highly recommend him and the Hospital for special surgery.

My experience with Dr Carli and his team was beyond expectation. I had bilateral total knee replacement on a Wednesday afternoon and that Saturday I was home and able to climb 15 steps to my bedroom. In the days following the surgery my wife commented that I was walking faster then I had in 3 years. I’m 7 weeks from surgery and I am enjoying living pain free and moving joyously. Dr Carli is a brilliant surgeon who credits the whole team at HSS for my success. I am very grateful to them all and would recommend Dr Carli and his team without hesitation.

Dr. Carli is excellent. I was dealing with hip pain for years. Too long to remember. I've tried yoga, physical therapy, exercise, but the pain got worse over time to the point that I could not even walk one block. I ended up having to use a cane and I still couldn't walk much. After seeing a couple of specialists, surgery was recommended. I was now face with two choices: 1) apply for disability or 2) do bilateral hip surgery. I'm in my early 40s! I was recommended HSS because they are #1. Dr. Carli was kind enough to take my case and he confirmed that my hips needed to be replaced. Today, I'm happy to say that the surgery and recovery went GREAT! NO MORE PAIN! I'm able to live my life as I use to before the pain. I'm running, jumping and resuming activities I love. Honestly, it doesn't even feel like I had surgery. Dr. Carli gave me my life back. If you need a top notch hip surgery, HSS is the place and Dr. Carli is your man. He's pretty cool too.

I am an old guy , soon to be 75 , and I've seen a lot of medical doctors in my day and I can unreservedly recommend Dr. Carli. If/when I have knee surgery I will have this wonderful man do the procedure. You cannot possibly find a better doctor !

Dr. Alberto Carli demonstrates all the qualities you would want in an Orthopedic Specialist and then some: he is knowledgeable and insightful, can clearly communicate to a lay person, entertains all questions, never rushes through an appointment and instills confidence while allowing the patient to make their own health choices. I, personally, could not have asked for a better surgical experience or a more skilled surgeon than Dr. Alberto Carli. I found him to be as kind and caring as he is talented. And he surrounds himself with an equally outstanding team at HSS. I highly recommend Dr. Carli and the HSS team, they changed the quality of my life for the better.

I am able to walk without hip pain for the first time in years. I am grateful to Dr. Carli and his team for the care I have received before, during and after the surgery.

I came to see Dr. Carli for a second opinion after having knee surgery performed by a different surgeon. When I didn't recover after four months, my first surgeon wanted to replace the knee. Due to my relatively young age for joint replacement (early 50's), Dr. Carli didn't just say "replace it". He spent nine months trying everything to save the knee-physical therapy, medication, injections and weight-loss (which he provided a physician to help with instead of just saying "lose weight"). After 9 months with no real improvement, we settled on total knee replacement for my quality of life, which I was okay with, because I knew we tried everything. In the pre-op visits, Dr. Carli spent as much time as I needed going through the procedure in detail, and was very honest about the recovery and possible residual symptoms. I felt very prepared for the entire process, and I am thrilled with the results. I am walking miles a day pain-free and have my life back. I highly recommend him!

Dr. Carli is fantastic. He initially replaced my right hip and it has been operating perfectly for the past 18 months. I recently visited him because I thought my right hip was starting to deteriorate. After checking my X-Rays and examining me, he told me that I was NOT a candidate for surgery and instead told me how to treat the hip with physical therapy and some mild over the counter medication. As he (as a surgeon) was recommending no surgery, this demonstrated to me that he is more interested in the well being of the patient rather than to be commercial by simply going ahead with a surgery that I thought was needed. This honest evaluation is refreshing and his practical approach was welcome: on top of that he is a great surgeon as evidenced by my :new" right hip. I am very happy to have him as my doctor and HSS as my hospital.

Amazing doctor! Miracle worker. Thank you.

He is an amazing doctor. Patient and kind. Very thorough. Explains everything and takes time for his patients.

Dr Carli, The Best of The Best Orthopedic Surgeon in America or the World.(HSS)

Dr Carli was like any other surgeon I've worked with. He was eager to sit down and tell me every step of the surgery, even squeezing questions out of me that I didn't know I had. My surgery actually involved two procedures: removing a tibial nail that was installed after a 2012 motorcycle accident and a knee replacement. Both surgeries were almost painless. I was climbing stairs (single stepping of course) 24 hours later. Recovery at home has been better than expected. I can't recommend Dr. Carli enough.

I'm so thankful I found Dr Alberto Carli! I suffered for years from excruciating hip pain and only believed in natural alternatives which didn't work while the unbearable pain only got worse. Dr Carli's conservative approach to me was appreciated. He spent the necessary time patiently explaining the surgical procedure step by step for both of my hips. He made me feel both confident and comfortable before the surgery. He constantly checked on me post surgery left hip. When Dr Carli performed the right hip replacement it was the same confident caring attitude. He knows what he's doing and it shows!

Dr. Carli was my 3rd opinion for a hip replacement and was somewhat more concerned about complications than the other doctors, which I found disconcerting... at first. Digging deeper he found some extra problems with my hip and prepared accordingly. He was ultra-cautious about everything. He did a total hip replacement on my right hip at HSS in NYC, and despite my initial misgivings my results are excellent, truly 5 stars. I am still recovering, about ten weeks out, but I feel great. I am walking better than I have in years (some old friends say better than ever), shopping, swimming, working long hours and am almost fully "up and around." I am now looking forward to a full recovery and an active summer. He is an excellent doctor and the surgery and recovery caused me more discomfort than pain. It was not that bad at all, and Dr. Carli and his team made sure I got through it all just fine.

Digging deeper he found some extra problems with my hip and prepared … More

Dr. Carli did a right hip arthroplasty on me. I was impressed by the amount of time he spends with his patients, both pre-op and post-op. I had several appointments with Dr. Carli to check if I were a candidate for surgery and he was never is a rush. The surgical results were very successful as I could walk with only a cane two days after surgery and could walk normally in six days. After three weeks I was about to walk for an hour without experiencing any pain. I am very happy with the results and have returned to golfing and biking without any symptoms.

After having one hip replacement here 11 years ago, I knew I needed another for the other hip. I'm now eligible for Medicare and a friend recommended Dr. Carli, who had done her husband's. Luckily I was able to get in right away, even though the pandemic was going on. I'm a big baby and he set my mind totally at ease. You can tell he loves what he does and is totally dedicated. I really lucked out. He was amazing from start to finish, from thoroughly explaining everything, to having such an upbeat attitude. I felt so confident in his ability, and he came through in every way. I would go back to him in a heartbeat and recommend him to anyone who asked.

Dr. Carli took over an extremely difficult case with multiple surgeries on the same right hip over a multi-year period. He attempted to employ more conservative measures first but ultimately advised a complete removal of the device, the implant of a new femur, a healing period of three months and then a surgery to implant a hip specifically designed along with the engineers for accommodating the double curvature of the pelvis. After years of worry and multiple surgeries as well as multiple closed reductions (where the device in place would allow) the hip has been stable for two years. We could not be more thankful for the wisdom, compassion, skill and bravery involved in a complex procedure such as the one we required. Thank you Alberto Carli and God bless you. Tom Volini

Dr. Alberto Carli is absolutely outstanding. He takes time to listen to all your concerns then patiently answer any of your questions. Explains in detail so you can understand any of your concerns. I have had a complete hip replacement on March 5 2021 and for the first time in over 2 years I am pain free Thanks Soli to Dr. Carli. I will be returning to have my other hip replaced in about 6 month's. I feel blessed to have had Dr. Carli as my Specialize Orthopedic surgeon. All I can say is Dr. Carli is absolutely OUTSTANDING

Dr Carli replaced my Right infected hip with a temporary hip spacer & I was put on Iv pic line for 8 weeks till the infection was gone & I was brought back in to the hospital Feb 3-8 & Now it finally feels so much better Thank you Very much Dr Carli & Special Surgery

I live in NJ and wanted to have my knee replacement at the Hospital for Special Surgery because my surgery was more complicated. Dr. Carli has an office in Paramus, NJ which made it convenient for pre-surgical and post- surgical appointments. He explained everything that I could possibly ask. He is kind, gentle and has a wonderful and efficient staff. My stay in the hospital was uneventful and Dr. Carli visited me throughout my stay. I recommend him without hesitation.

Dr Carli did my left knee replacement on 11-20-2020 and I am very pleased with it he explained every thing very clear my knee healed very quickly he showed me my ex rays and he showed me the joints that was he replaced, it made me feel much better and explained how it was placed in my knee if I had to do my right knee Dr Carli would be the Dr to do it. He did a wonderful job

Very positive, caring, very passionate about his patients well being, patients progressive rehabilitation post total knee replacement, follow up appointments, instructions/teaching within patients understanding. Encourages patients to ask questions.

I’m in awe of the experience I had at HSS for my hip replacement surgery. Dr. Alberto Carli and his team did a superb job of helping me get through a very difficult and painful time. The service I received from my first visit to get a diagnosis through the post-surgery follow-up was as great as it gets. Dr. Carli’s attention to detail is thorough, he is an excellent listener and offers exhaustive knowledge in terms of options for treatment. I knew I was in the best hands I could be in with him and his team. HSS is like a 5-star hotel! The entire staff from bottom to top was so professional and accommodating from beginning to end. I highly recommend HSS for any orthopedic issue!

I had put off a hip replacement for a good number of years. After meeting with Dr. Carli, I felt confident he was the surgeon I was going forward with for the hip replacement. He explained everything to me in detail. He was able to answer all of my questions without hesitation and kept his promise to be available for me pre and post surgery. My mobility and flexibility are much improved and continue to get better. I feel that I made the right choice in going forward with the surgery with Dr. Carli as my surgeon.

Dr. Carli replaced my right knee and I'm going to have him do the Left. Everything went well.

Dr. Carli performed absolutely perfect total knee replacement surgery for me on 1/24/20 at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City! Every meeting with Dr. Carli, prior to and following my surgery, inspired great confidence in my decision to travel to New York from the West Coast for this procedure! Dr. Carli and his team are authentic, compassionate, friendly and highly competent! I am looking forward to having Dr. Carli complete total knee replacement for my other knee!

I had bilateral knee replacement done by Dr. Carli on October 17, 2018. The reason I needed the operation was as a result of 30 years of playing racket ball 4 to 5 mornings a week. Tomorrow will be one year since the operation and I couldn’t have asked for or expected a better result. This summer I was on the golf course 3 to 4 times a week. I no longer need Advil to get me through a round. And for the first time in years I can squat down to line up a putt. (Not that it’s helped my game). Joking aside I can now walk for miles on uneven ground with no pain. As for Dr. Carli personally, I’m hard pressed to remember when I’ve ever met a nicer person. His workmanship is so precise that even the scars from the operation are barely visible. Can’t tell you how many people I’ve recommended.

Just few hrs. ago Dr.Carli examined my wife on a consultation. I was deeply impressed by his opinion, mostly because being an orthopedist his approach to her complex situation went beyond "looking at bones and joints" . He review marvelously her nutrition status correlating with her other health issues . On my long experience in medical practice rarely found a young doctor being so holistic.

Nearly one year ago my mom met with Dr Alberto Carli and began a medical odyssey to restore her mobility. She needed a total knee replacement. However, it was a very complicated procedure due to her having had a prior knee surgery from being hit by an automobile as a pedestrian as well as two other surgeries to repair her twice broken femur which left her with a plate running up the side of her femur about eight inches above the knee and a nail running inside her femur from the knee to the hip. All of this hardware was attached with six different screws. The first operation took seven hours to remove the extensive femur hardware and it was extremely challenging as the femur hardware had bonded to the bone as well as presenting other challenges from errant screws, etc. Yet, through great skill, patience and resiliency Dr Carli was able to remove the hardware without any damage to mom's delicate bones, which was no mean feat and a blessing as any damage would have been a setback of unknown proportions. Then after a three and a half month period of home therapy and recovery, Dr. Carli performed a five hour knee replacement. Because of the previous damage described, Dr Carli had to carefully select, along with the HSS engineering team and other talented medical colleagues, a special stem-type of knee replacement. These stems go inside of the femur and tibia respectively to stabilize the damaged and weakened bone structures surrounding the knee, femur and tibia. The long stem that had to go into the femur was a particular challenge because in drilling out the femur for it there was a great potential to cause bone damage which would have necessitated immediately stopping the operation and devising a new and even more complex surgical plan, which was a scary reality to contemplate. Fortunately, Dr Carli drilled the hole and performed the knee replacement with perfection! Now, about a month and a half after the knee replacement mom is finishing up her physical therapy and has even been approved to return to her gym and normal everyday activity. What Dr Carli did for her is nothing short of a miracle and she is excited about having her mobility restored - and without pain! If anyone is considering orthopedic surgery of the varieties that Dr Carli performs, they would be well advised to consult with him. He will give you a detailed, honest and intelligent analysis of your condition and the best plan for dealing with it. And if the work required is daunting, Dr Carli is up to the challenge, which not all surgeons are. To make your treatment experience even better, you will be dealing with the extremely professional staff and highest grade facilities that make up all areas of The Hospital for Special Surgery. It is not surprising that HSS is rated #1. Nearly one year ago my mom met with Dr Alberto Carli and began a medical odyssey to restore her mobility. She needed a total knee replacement.

Dr Carli was very informative prior, post op and post visit. Very professional. My out come from the surgery was extremely satisfactory. I would recommend him for knee surgery.

Had second hip replaced this year. I can sing praises about Dr. Carli and his entire staff forever. They are topnotch in every category. And the surgery results are fabulous!!!

Following a fall I had horrible knee pain of which I was told surgery was not needed. After 3 months with no improvement I sought a second opinion at the Paramus branch of The Hospital for Special Surgery. There I met Dr Alberto Carli. From that moment I knew I was in good hands. He discovered a fracture that was missed as well as traumatic arthritis . He was kind and encouraged questions and discussion . The total knee replacement was performed in January with fantastic results . His team at HSS was wonderful . I felt very well cared for . I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Carli is a true miracle worker. On Feb 14, 2020 he replaced my right hip. It was the best Valentine's Day present anyone could have given me. He is careful and thorough. He took extensive pictures of my spine and hip prior to surgery. He took into consideration the fact that I had scoliosis and osteoporosis and made the necessary adjustments. He explained everything beforehand and took time to answer questions and address my concerns. While attempting to continue living a normal life, I was in extreme debilitating pain prior to surgery and truly thought I would never walk normally again. Dr. Carli realized this and fit my surgery in although he was booked through May. Not only is he a fine surgeon but a caring, compassionate human. I am now walking normally and walk almost a mile a day. I no longer limp. As far as I am concerned Dr. Carli performed a miracle.

Dr Carli saved my life ! He performed a revision on my Total Knee Replacement after a very serious infection contracted 5 years after surgery ! He was called in to do my surgery at HSS. He actually visited me and my wife the night I was transported to HSS at 11PM! He has been professional while also being caring and concerned, understanding and interested in me as a total person. Dr Carli and his staff, especially Lily, treated me and my wife with care and professionalism throughout my journey of 9 months (so far). I consider Dr. Carli to be exceptional as a surgeon, and a physician and would recommend him without any hesitation. Thank you, Dr. Carli !

Dr. Carli is a highly professional and personable surgeon. My hip replacement last year was a hugh success. Had my one year “anniversary” check up yesterday and I could tell he was as pleased as I was. I want to add that his office staff is very attentive. This is very important. I recommend Dr.Carli to anyone considering hip surgery.

I have recommended Dr. Carli numerous times after undergoing a total knee replacement earlier this year. Prior to the surgery, during my hospitalization and in the post-surgery follow up, his great skill as a surgeon has consistently been matched by his attentiveness and care throughout my recovery.

The first time I met with Dr Carli, I knew that I was in good hands. He explained everything about a knee replacement after it was decided that this was the only option left to relieve the horrific pain of an arthritic knee. The surgery was perfectly performed, given the amazing results. 5 weeks later, I am walking unassisted and without pain!! I recommend Dr Carli, without hesitation for knee or hip surgery.

One year ago I visited Dr Carli in Paramus N.J. for the first time do to a failed first hip surgery. After Dr Carli reviewed the ex-rays of my right hip he recommend for me to report to HHS in N.Y. that afternoon do to the severity of possible total failure of my hip. Dr Carli was extremity diligent in scheduling a special team to work with him at HSS in preparation of my specialized reconstructive hip surgery. My right hip bones were compromised do to Paggits decease which I have. Dr Carli and his team did on incredible job in reconstructing my hip and implanting a special stem which was needed and designed for me. One year later I am pain free and I am enjoying quality of life one again. Thank You Dr Carli and staff for your professionalism and kindness. I highly recommend Dr Carli.

Caring and extremely professional. Care of patient is his number one priority. He is a saint among drs. I definitely would recommend Dr. Carli

Amazing. Suffered for 6+ years with failed total knee replacement and finally found a Dr./Hospital that was willing and able to help me. Dr. Carli was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, professional and thorough. Ended up doing a complete revision after finding my knee was significantly out of alignment. Also found infection once he was inside knee. Spent a week at HSS, outstanding care, nurses, Dr's, everyone. I have not felt this well in 7 years and the drive from Vermont to NYC 7+ times during the process was well worth it. I am recovering very well after 6 weeks and finally feel like I have my life back. Dr. Carli, his staff and his entire team are amazing and I cannot thank them enough for all they did for me and my family. It truly changed my life and I am thankful they are were willing to spend the necessary time with me to listen and carefully figure things out. Outstanding experience, I would highly recommend.
