What They’re Saying

“Dr. Chaim quickly diagnosed my problem, helped me understand what exercises I can safely do with my current injury and had me on my way very quickly. He was friendly and funny too!”

HeatherHealthgrades

“I really liked Dr. Solomon Chaim! He explained the break and showed me the X-rays. I’ve already recommended him to my friends.”

Barbara M.ZocDoc

“I could barely walk the first time I saw Dr. Chaim. He looked at my x-rays & immediately knew the problem. Surgery was scheduled the next week. While the recovery was intense, I was able to walk in a few months. 2 years later, the same surgery had to be done to my other foot. Same great results! Now I walk pain-free!!!”
