Brentwood, NY – Complete Orthopedics

Dr Paresh Patel was excellent, attentive, pleasant, detailed and answered all my many questions patiently.

Dr. Karkare did 2 surgeries in both of my hips and now I feel great! I don’t even feel that I had double hip replacements. I am back to doing all my old activities without any issues. He is so personal and truly was the best doctor I’ve ever had. All the girls at the front desk are so amazing as well.

Place is very clean,employees are professional and treat you well. Doctors ask all my questions and they are on time.

Absolutely and recommended very nice people finally and when I’m coming attending it in the time

Dr. Athar is simply excellent — and I mean that wholeheartedly.
From the moment you walk in, you feel it: this is a practice that genuinely cares. His team is kind, efficient, and thoughtful at every step. They make what can be a stressful process feel manageable, even comforting.
Dr. Athar himself is the kind of physician who restores your faith in medicine. He is skilled, attentive, and truly present with his patients. Thanks to him and his wonderful team, my healing process has been as good as it possibly could be.
I am deeply grateful — and I recommend this practice without any hesitation.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Dr. Lubens Lavaud and his team. I suffered a stress fracture in my right foot, and from the very first visit, Dr. Lavaud was knowledgeable, patient, and reassuring. He took the time to explain my diagnosis and treatment plan, and I always felt confident that I was receiving excellent care.

After about 2 months of treatment and recovery, I am fully healed and back to my normal activities. I am truly grateful for Dr. Lavaud’ expertise, professionalism, and compassionate care throughout the entire process.

I highly recommend Dr. Lavaud to anyone in need of othopedics care. Thank you for helping me get back on my feet! 😊

Great experience, with great people! My sons first fracture and they answered all questions and made us feel comfortable. Will 100% recommend this place and will come back if needed.

Doctor Lubens Lavaud is the best orthopedics that I've ever been to trust me He is the best then all the rest.

Dr Thakar was excellent with my Mom who had a tear in her gluteus medius tendon in her right hip. She went for physical therapy and is doing great. I would definitely recommend him.

Complete Orthopedics in Stony Brook is one of the best Worker's Comp. facility that I've been to Throughout Long Island.

Dr. Thakar is great, he got everything approved by worker’s comp immediately, he is thorough, gentle and knowledgeable. His office staff is diligent and professional. I recommend them highly.

Doctor ocean thakar is great, took care of my rotator cuff surgery and the office personnel following up with me after was awesome, thanks so much for everything a

Great experience all around with every visit and highly recommended. Dr. Sharif and the staff do an outstanding job attending to their patients!!

Parish Patel was great! Great bedside manner and really took the time to explain in detail the issue I was having. The front office staff were welcoming and very sweet! Highly recommend

Just had my last visit with dr. Vashka, he took me through my whole journey of my broken ankle with surgery, i would recommend him to anyone who has that problem wonderful attitude never in a rush and very helpful, the best dr i have ever had!!!!!!!!

What can I say. Complete Orthopedics, Dr Vaksha and his team got my baby back to 100%. They were amazing, tentative, caring and supportive throughout the process. Thank you so much for making a scary situation a little easier.

Staff is wonderful, dr vaksha is the first surgeon to help improve my pain. Highly reccomend

Took my son here which was originally booked for us by urgent care! The front desk staff is welcoming and helpful. We saw Dr. Lubens who was amazing and made my son comfortable. Could not recommend them more!

El doctor vaksha es un excelente profesional luego de mi cirugía de columna su trabajo fue perfecto pudo resolver el dolor y la incapacidad causada por el accidente mi doctor anterior y mi abogado solo se lamentaban y me dician que guardara reposo después de varios meses de sufrimiento e incapacidad laboral tuve que cambiar esa negligencia hacia completé orthopedic por su buen prestigio ellos si analizaron la lesión e hicieron que este caso fuera diferente un choque a 50millas por hora impactado por detrás en stop y un registro de un cheque por 65 horas la semana en mi trabajo recientemente antes del accidente son suficiente para evitar que te engañen por contratiempo de los seguros si eres una persona que pasa por un accidente y no eres culpable no dejes que un doctor o un abogado negligente te vea como un objeto manipulable cámbialos se es necesario si te lesionaste tienes derechos a recibir todos los tratamientos necesarios hasta que te sientas bien por eso completé orthopedics sería una buena opción para lesiones de accidentes músculo esquelético y los recomiendo.

Dr.Karkare is an amazing doctor he perform both of my mother's total knee replacements when she was 70yrs old .Now she is 85 and she keeps going ,walking and enjoying life. I am very grateful , I also see him and recommend him to everyone. He is very attentive and caring.

My daughter seen Dr. Patel today for her knee. He was very caring and compassionate with her and the problem ended up being she has flat feet and gave me instructions on how to help her. I highly recommend him. Great with kids. Very thorough too.

Great orthopedic I ripped my pectoral muscle the day before Easter. They were the only ones that were open and they were able to see me right away. Dr. Thakar is a great surgeon. Had my best interest at heart when it came to my surgery and rehabilitation took my injury very seriously. Did a great job on the procedure. And getting it done as soon as possible. I don't even feel like I had surgery done. The healing process is going great. Definitely would refer anybody who injured themselves or tore anything to complete orthopedics if I ever tear anything again which I hope not I'm coming back to them.

Yo Gloria quiero hablar del dr. Océano que el tratamiento que el doctor me ha brindado ha sido espectacular me siento muchísimo mejor llevo varios meses con él y todo ha mejorado muchisimo muchas gracias dr. Ocean

Complete Orthopedics is simply the best. Went there three weeks ago for a hip problem that I’ve been going to primary care for since January, they sent me to have an x-ray done, physical therapy and the whole 9 yards. They stop at nothing in order to get you well and on your feet. I went to Therapy department next door and let me tell you Sean and his staff is the best. Words cannot explain the fantastic treatment you will get from this combination. Try them for yourself and you will get the wellness of a lifetime.

Came to see Dr. Ocean Thakar after suffering a full-thickness pectoral tendon tear. From the initial consultation through surgery and the entire 6-month recovery process, Dr. Thakar treated me with exceptional care, professionalism, and attention to detail. He does an excellent job explaining the injury, the recovery process, and setting realistic expectations every step of the way. As someone who lifts weights regularly, I can honestly say that 6 months post-surgery, I feel like I never tore my pec at all. I’m extremely grateful for the outcome and highly recommend Dr. Thakar to anyone dealing with an orthopedic injury.

Our second visit here . Great front staff . Doctor is awesome. Clean bathroom & clean office .

Doctor Patel is great. Very personable really listens to what your saying or feeling highly recommend

Dt Patel is awesome! He is very patient explains everything in detail and always gives you his time

I’ve been seeing Dr. Ambreen Sharif for the past few weeks, and the experience has been consistently excellent. From the beginning, she showed a great level of attention to detail and genuinely listened to every concern I brought up. She never made me feel rushed, and every question I had was answered thoroughly and with patience.
What constantly stood out was her passion for what she does. It’s clear she truly cares about her patients and takes pride in providing thoughtful, thorough care. She created a welcoming and friendly environment that made every appointment feel comfortable and reassuring. It’s rare to find a doctor who combines professionalism, compassion, and dedication so naturally. I’m very grateful for the care I’ve received and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an orthopedic doctor who truly listens and values their patients.

Also, Can’t forget the receptionist! They are awesome as well !!

Dr.Patel is a wonderful doctor. He was very attentive to all my needs. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I recommend Dr. Patel to any one.

Dr. Vaksha Listens well & explains showing what the problem is with MRI results on TV.

Great Doctors office. The staff is great and Elizabeth was very sweet. Dr. Karkare is very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain everything and answer any questions. Highly recommend.

I wanted to take a minute for everyone to know how much they have helped me I feel
So great thank you for my care you guys are the best

I'm writing on behalf of my mom, Maria Dunn, to leave this review: I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Ambreen a few months ago for a very painful injury on my right foot. This injury involved my achilles' tendon. During my first visit, it was very obvious to me that the scope of her treatment would give me my best chance for recovery. Dr. Ambreen was very thorough explaining what could be done, answered all my questions & concerns and was very compassionate about my situation. Her medical expertise surpasses my previous treatment and and I remain under her care for my final stage of treatment. I would recommend her to anyone in need of an orthopedic surgeon! Thank you Dr. Ambreen!!

I had a injury to my left knee and suffered a lot from it for a long time. My left leg was swollen and at the worst time I could not walk without the help of crutches. Dr. Rodin discussed his treatment and method in details with me and prescribed his medicine, which is proper special foods, such as nuts and fruit and vegetables. With this regime I fully recovered soon. There was no medication no surgery involved. It is painless and safe. I got the treatment and cure while I was having my meals and foods. I wonder if my medical records are available in the office so that I can get a copy of them? So I can accurately trace the date and time and describe my symptoms and my treatment. I highly recommend this approach to treat knee injuries.Thank you.

After a devastating car accident in June 2024 that left me with multiple severe orthopedic injuries, an an extensive impatient care ans multiple repair surgies I cannot express enough gratitude for Dr. Thakar and Dr. Athar at Complete Orthopedics. From the very beginning, they treated me with compassion, professionalism, and truly individualized care.
I suffered a shattered heal, ankle, tibia fibia fracture that unable to walk and a left humeral fracture that required hardware placement, leaving me with severe pain, limited mobility, not being able to stand on my own feet and uncertainty about my future. Thanks to their incredible surgical expertise and dedication, I am now able to walk again with almost a normal gait and have regained nearly full mobility in my arm within just two years of the accident.
These doctors not only restored my physical abilities, but they also gave me hope during one of the hardest and most traumatic times of my life. Their knowledge, skill, and ongoing medical support throughout this journey have made an immeasurable impact on my recovery and quality of life.

I will forever be grateful to Dr. Thakar, Dr. Athar, and the entire team at Complete Orthopedics for helping me reclaim my independence and continue moving forward

THANK YOU!!!!

Such an AMAZING experience from the minute I met Dr. Karkare about to head into surgery!!! I fractured my femur as well as fracturing AND dislocating my knee ! This surgery was September 2024 and this is me April 2025!! Walking with NO assistance and able to fully bend my knee with little/no pain. He introduced himself before going into the OR and went over everything he was going to do while I was under anesthesia. He calmed my nerves so much and took the time to answer any questions and insure I felt safe and in good hands !! During my recovery he was amazing ! There were times that I had called or emailed the office for a question / concern and he had called me back personally !!! But my absolute FAVORITE thing about Dr. Karkare is that he is extremely personable and takes the time to actually talk and listen to the patient ! I couldn’t recommend Complete Orthopedics more!!!

Dr. Karkare is a great doctor very professional and helpe me a lot great office and staff.

Dr. Karkare outstanding practice help a lot, I will recommend this office great staff helpful and professional.

Dr. KARKARE is helping me to much with my body parts and the attention is great he is a great doctor with patients highly recommended.

Dr karkare is very professional I have seen much improvement with all he has done a treatment including exercise injections and referrals for other injure body parts

I love this practice. Liz at the front desk is so helpful. Dr. Patel was kind enough to diagnose a nerve condition I didn’t even know I was causing. Dr. Karkare, Dr. Vaksha and Dr. Athar are very knowledgeable and nice as well. Will always recommend this practice!

I've treated with Dr Karkare at both offices for a few different work place injuries. Throughout the years he has maintained the same professional and welcoming demeanor. He always discusses all possible avenues of treatment and never once have I had any doubts in his recommendations. I tell anyone I know who has recently been injured that he's the doctor to go to.

Dr Karkare is an amazing surgeon. Had my 2 knees done 8 years ago. I still see Dr Karkare once a year. My knees are in great shape. He is a kind and caring person. His bedside manner is wonderful. Always follow up to see how your doing After surgery personally. Everyone in his office is very pleasant. Great experience.

My mom broke her femur from a fall and that is how we met Dr Vashka at the hospital. The surgery and healing went beautifully and 6 weeks after the fall she's walking again and has a very small scar. The staff are amazing, special shout out to Donna who went that extra step which made a world of difference. Everyone was friendly, knowledge and helpful!
