Dr Haber is very thorough and super helpful when explaining the medical diagnosis and procedures. He is very friendly and kind! Easy to talk to and great bed side manner! He is doing surgery on my son and I had a lot of questions and concerns. Dr Haber listened to all of them and helped me to feel reassured about everything. I recommend him to any parent needing any orthopedic needs for their child. Thank you Dr Haber.
