Complete Orthopedics
Based on 305 reviews
Dr. Karkare is an excellent Doctor. He is very knowledgeable, and thorough. His staff is welcoming and attentive. I highly recommend this practice.
Dr. Thakar is a pleasure to have as my orthopedic surgeon. He has great bedside manner, but even more, he seems highly confident and it’s clear that he knows exactly what he is talking about. I was impressed with his candid approach, and I found him likable as a person. I have only just had my surgery 3 days ago, but I am confident that I will be pleased with the results. Dr. Thakar has been on my side regarding insurance and expediting treatment so that I could have the best results possible. I can’t say enough positive things about Dr. Thakar. In my book he gets an A+ for medicine and healthcare.
Great place! took very good care of me, very professional and friendly. I would recommend it to everyone 🙂
Have been here for 2 separate injuries and I have gotten great care. For my second injury I had surgery with Dr Vaksha and he did a great job.
Dr. Vaksha is a great doctor. Everyone at Complete Orthopedics is very nice and treat you well. Would definitely recommend.
All the doctors are very caring and understanding.This is very importante to me . The staff is very helpful. I recommend them to everybody especially Dr.Athar.
Very good service, nice employees, the doctor was amazing! I also had a very quick recovery from my shoulder surgery. Love it
Dr KARKARE in Stonybrook is a quality orthopedic. He also does surgery. I went in with right hip pain. He sent me for X-rays and an MRI. Then suggested physical therapy among the after steps I should take. I’m happy I chose him. He knows what he is doing. He patient kind bedside manner. Thorough and to the point!
Dr Vaksha is the best doctor. Helped cure me completely. His team Raj and Fiona are super polite. This is the best orthopedics office on long island. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend this orthopedic specialist establishment!
Front desk is wonderful! But my fave is Mike my pt - he's personable and efficient and always makes me come back!
Dr Vaksha saw me as a new patient after a bucket handle meniscus tear and recommended surgery. I chose to go with his professional opinion and I’m so glad I did. The surgery went very well, and the recovery went much better than I could have expected. I feel I owe so very much to Dr Vaksha, his skill, professionalism and his helpful and courteous staff!
I needed an orthopedic doctor appointment. I called Complete Orthopedics. Friendly and professional front desk answered all my questions. My insurance is not in their network but doctor still saw me without any charge. The doctor recommended the treatment and my knee pains the cause of the arthritis and of course aging is almost gone. I'm thankful them. Thank you doctor Vaksha.
The service was excellent. Dr. Paresh Patel was great and provided excellent care. Ms. Donna Aiello was a wonderful help and patiently assisted me with all my billing queries.
Dr. Vaksha is an amazing surgeon — I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

After a car accident, I was diagnosed with a torn meniscus and told I’d need surgery. Suffolk PT and Chiropractor referred me to Dr. Vedant Vaksha at Advanced Orthopedic, and I’m so grateful they did.

This was my first surgery ever, and I was understandably nervous. But from our first meeting, Dr. Vaksha made me feel completely at ease. He explained everything clearly, answered all my questions, and I could tell right away that he genuinely cares about his patients—not just as cases, but as people.

The surgery went smoothly, and my recovery has been going better than I expected. He also made sure I was set up with the best tools and resources to help with my healing, which made a huge difference.

I’m now walking without pain and getting stronger every day. I truly can’t thank Dr. Vaksha and his team enough. If you need knee surgery, I highly recommend him. He’s not only incredibly skilled but also kind, supportive, and really thorough in his care.
Dr. Athar is very caring and listens to all my needs and that is very important to me, The office staff are very nice and friendly.
Dr. Athar and Dr. Patel were absolutely wonderful. I broke my toe on a Saturday and after much research I found Complete Orthopedics and was able to be seen on a Sunday! Dr. Athar was so professional and compassionate from the very start. He evaluated my fracture and was able to book me for surgery right away. The whole process went so smoothly and my surgery went so well. I could not have asked for better care. The surgery took place one week before I went on vacation in Europe and with Dr. Athar's help I was able to keep my plans and trip with my family. From start to finish, Complete Orthopedics has been the absolute best.
Dr.Karkare es muy profesional excelente atención y profesionalismo y también su equipo. Lo recomiendo para cualquier cuidado ortopédico.
Dr. Vaksha is a great listener, compassionate and goes above and beyond. I recommend him to anybody
Amazing doctors who are all very kind, trained professionals and if I were you, I would definitely come to complete orthopedics at Stony Brook. In my case, I broke my arm a few months back and Dr. Vaksha took care of me really well by quickly performing a surgery on my arm to fix the bone. I am really happy with the progress of healing the bone. The staff in the stony brook office are also really kind and gentle.
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.

On 2/4/2025 I had surgery to repair torn rotator cuff of left shoulder. Dr Vedant Vaksha did a really great job of putting me back together. After auti accident in August 2024 I felt broken. Went for PT and followed their direction of exercises but still felt broken. After reading I learned surgery was a must. Thank you Dr Vaksha & staff for making sure I was put back together.
Dr. Athar is excellent! He explains things thoroughly, is able to answer any questions, and provides his realistic opinion of your situation. Would highly recommend for any issues requiring an Orthopedic Surgeon!

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Patel. From the initial consultation to post-treatment follow-up, they displayed professionalism, compassion, and expertise. They took the time to explain my diagnosis in detail and provided clear treatment options, ensuring I was comfortable with the plan. The staff was also welcoming and efficient, making the entire process stress-free. I highly recommend Dr. Patel for anyone in need of orthopedic care!

Dr Patel was so attentive, kind and caring. He didn’t rush us and listened to us. Definitely recommend him.
Title: Exceptional Care and Expertise:
Dr. Vedant Vaksha (Complete Orthopedics,Lindenhurst)

I recently underwent knee surgery for torn miniscus and IT Band issue, performed by Dr. Vedant Vaksha, and I cannot express enough gratitude for his exceptional care and expertise.

From the initial consultation to post-operative follow-ups, Dr. Vaksha's professionalism and dedication stood out.Firstly, Dr. Vaksha took the time to thoroughly explain my condition and the proposed surgical procedure in a clear and understandable manner. This level of communication helped alleviate any anxieties I had about the surgery.

During the surgery itself, Dr. Vaksha demonstrated a high level of surgical skill and precision. The procedure went smoothly, and I experienced minimal discomfort post-surgery, which I attribute to Dr. Vaksha's expertise.

Furthermore, the post-operative care provided by Dr. Vaksha and his team was exemplary. They monitored my recovery closely, addressed any concerns promptly, and provided detailed instructions for rehabilitation exercises.

Overall, my experience with Dr. Vedant Vaksha has been extremely positive. His professionalism, expertise, and genuine concern for his patients' well-being make him a top-notch knee surgeon. I highly recommend Dr. Vaksha to anyone in need of orthopedic care.
