View All Posts"Dr. Chowdhury is simply the best Sports Doctor in NYC. I came in to office visit with 4 different issues, knees, abdomen, thigh, and back...in 20-30 minutes he addressed them all in coordinated comprehensive sequence including, examining me physically, then demonstrating how to do weight lifting exercises properly, stretches, Physical Therapy exercises, warm up and training tips etc....then arranged for follow up xrays and other imaging. I am 68 years old and he is helping me look and feel 20 years younger! This guy knows his stuff inside-out. Also, he is very responsive via email on the Weill-Cornell Portal for follow ups. Couldn't ask for a better outcome."
