Orthopedic Surgeon near Jackson Heights

Recovery time depends on the procedure, your overall health, and how well you follow post-operative instructions. Minor arthroscopic surgeries may require just a few weeks, while more complex operations like ACL reconstruction can take several months. At MM Medical, we offer full recovery support to get you back on your feet safely and efficiently.

Not always. At MM Medical, we exhaust all non-surgical options before recommending surgery. These may include physical therapy, PRP therapy, bracing, and medication. Surgery is considered when conservative treatments fail to relieve pain or restore function.

In many cases, you don’t need a referral to visit our orthopedic surgeon—especially if you're paying out of pocket. However, some insurance plans may require it. Contact our office, and we’ll help guide you through the process.

Our orthopedic surgeon treats joint pain (knees, shoulders, hips), back and neck pain, sports injuries, arthritis-related discomfort, and traumatic injuries like fractures. If your pain affects your mobility or quality of life, it’s time to see an orthopedic specialist.

All orthopedic surgeons are trained as orthopedic doctors, but not all orthopedic doctors perform surgery. At MM Medical, Dr. Manouel offers both diagnostic and surgical expertise, so you receive complete care from one trusted provider.
