Patient Testimonials

Dr. Labovitch listened to my symptoms, explained (in easy to understand language) the issues with my ankle and how we would proceed with treatment. Felt listened to and not rushed.

Came with a comminuted (multiple pieces) clavicle fracture. This was a second opinion consult. Thankfully it was quickly apparent that I had a surgeon who be the answer.
Kind, thorough in a non rushed manner, excellent in explaining injury as well as repair & options, and considerate of ancillary staff.
I was impressed that he is does not utilize a physician’s assistant (PA) for patient care with his patients or certainly not in my case. This allows him to know his patient in the preoperative days, obviously in the OR performing the repair and, more importantly to me, postoperatively. He witnessed the healing, progression of the range of motion and eventually the return to full activity. Means alot to someone anxious to get back in the pool/ocean to swim confidently.
He was knowledgale in the current options availabe to repair my injury which was not evident in prior consultations from others.
He also on 2 occasions returned my call in the post op period in a timely manner. Office runs efficiently.
This physician delivers healthcare in the manner it should be. Excellent care while maintaining the dignity of the patient.
Cycle safely Doc…..we need ya!!!!!

Dr. Labovitch was very helpful in treating my shoulder tear. I would highly recommend him to other patients…. Thanks!

Amazing physician!! I recently had a recent fall while mountain biking the high sierra mountains and manage to fracture my leg, ankle, and wrist. Was a horrible day. After the ER I was referred to a ortho doc at Hoag Hospital which I went but the doctors were to busy flirting with the staff and talking about how much money they make. So I looked around and Dr. Labovitch showed up as a new M.D. in Newport. I went there and the staff was really nice and knew what they were doing. I was in pretty quick and he spent alot of time and effort into my case. He explained every option including surgery to rehabilitation, more than most of the docs I saw. I would highly recommend this physician to anybody who wants great care.

Last year on September 29th, the night of my son’s wedding rehearsal dinner, I slipped on some wet grass. The fall resulted in multiple fractures to the right humerus and a right shoulder that was partially split, crushed and shattered. I had previously seen Dr. Warren Kramer for an unrelated issue but because of the severe trauma, I was referred to Dr. Labovitch. This doctor is the real deal!
I’m a CEO and I have come to expect excellence from the people around me. Dr. Labovitch not only exceeds that expectation but he sets the gold standard in the medical profession. He is an excellent surgeon (proven by rebuilding a very challenging shoulder) and a caring physician. During the post-surgery weeks, it was not uncommon to receive telephone calls from him at the end of his work day to check on my status. His patient care is always sincere and unyielding. Simply stated, he cares about his patients!
Yesterday was my final 1-year discharge visit. I have full range of motion and no negative effects from the injury. Dr. Labovitch made that happen. In hindsight, I can’t say that others would have been capable of meeting that goal.
Along with the warm, fun and absolutely competent team at his office, I will miss having Dr. Labovitch as one of my regular physicians. I strongly recommend him to anyone in need of a highly skilled and extremely dedicated orthopaedic surgeon.
If you want a personal recommendation, call me direct at 800.492.5186. I will be happy to share my full sentiments.

Dr. Labovitch took the time to really explain in detail my diagnosis and treatment options in ways I could understand them. I really appreciated the fact he gave me options and did not rush me to surgery. There are not to many doctors that take the time he did. I really felt he cared and I was not just another number in his practice. He is a great physician and surgeon and I will come to him for all my orthopedic needs.

Dr. Labovitch…..the best in his field.
His up to date knowledge of the human body and injuries it sustains is something to consider.
As a 57 year old former athlete and dancer, I’ve gone to him now for my knees and most currently my hip.
Without skipping a beat, along with his friendly staff had me in and out with my appointments and up and out with a protocol for continued healing.
You’d be hard pressed to find a more brilliant and kind doctor.

Have seen Dr Labovitch numerous times. A professional who listens and puts you and your health first. Excellent doctor, great staff and wait times minimal now the office is following covid guidelines. If you need to see someone make sure you at least talk to Dr Labovitch first. Recommended 5/5.

I was referred to Dr. Labovitch by my sister due to continued knee pain and inability to perform my love of dance and hiking. My first appointment with him was impressive. He was extremely detailed in talking about how the knee functions, and very thorough in going over my x-rays with me, performed a detailed exam and knee function test, what to expect as my knees age and solutions to help me get stronger knees through exercise, strengthening, and other options when needed. His explanations were precise and I was able to understand what needed to be done. He was kind and I felt he was concerned about my outcome. His office staff was excellent, friendly and helpful. I feel very confident that I will have better outcome down the road.

What a great surgeon! He’s a surgeon that is more interested in your health than just doing surgery. He won’t opt for surgery unless no other option. He’s very thorough too. He did my knee surgery on Monday and I was up walking into his office for my post op on Friday!
He explains everything too. Great personality. Professional but puts you at ease!
