Dr. Valery Dronsky graduated from Russian State Medical University in Moscow, in 1988. Since then he started his surgical career as the faculty member of the same University. He has extensive clinical research experience at UCSF California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco. Then he continued his surgical education as a resident at Lenox Hill Hospital and SUNY Downstate Medical Heath Science Center at Brooklyn. Dr. Dronsky completed Minimally Invasive Laparoscopic Fellowship in Lutheran Medical Center at Brooklyn and was working as a Surgical Attending / Clinical Assistant Professor in General, Minimally Invasive and Trauma Surgery. Now, as a part of Surgical Associates of New York, his interests are laparoscopic surgery and general surgery. I have a great passion for my profession. I feel that it is an honor and a privilege to take care of patients, and to have them entrust me with their health. Sometime, in fact, my friends and family reveal to me that they think I care too much about my patients and their outcomes. They see that I spend days and nights at the hospital caring for people. I do not think that a physician, especially a surgeon, can care too much. Every decision I make, every recommendation I give, every operation I do, has incredible importance. I have always felt this way, and I always plan to practice medicine in this fashion. Please visit our website at: www.glsnyllp.com

-Roger E. Mayerson in Morristown, NJ | Apr 06, 2017
Dr. Valery Dronsky is one of the most super surgeons that has performed surgery on me. From the initial visit, to the laparoscopic hernia surgery, to the visit in the recovery room, and to the followup visits in his office, Dr. Dronsky exhibited kindness, understanding, and quintessential knowledge of the procedure. Due to his expert surgical skills, I completely recovered within one to two weeks. Dr. Dronsky gets an A+ rating from me.

Dr. Dronksy is very knowledgeable; I've never had surgery before and Dr. Dronksy made sure I was comfortable guiding me through the entire process. I will definitely recommend him. He is very approachable and has a great sense of humor.

Dr. Dronsky did emergency surgery on my husband for severe volvulus (twisted intestine).It appears to have been a very unusually intricate case which put into action all of Dr. Dronsky's skills, also considering the patient's age: 87. He was able to eliminate the problem and resection the bowels: very successful outcome. His manner is realistic and reassuring at the same time. He is gently direct with explanations and instructions. He takes the patient's condition and needs into consideration.

-Christopher K in New York, NY | Dec 31, 2016
I had a double hernia surgery. Dr Dronsky was caring, clear in the diagnosis and always had a sense of humor. I had one post op issue which I called his service about and he was back to me in less than 15 minutes ( it was minor and completely normal). I also thought his anasthesialologist did a great job. I had no post op issues with anesthesia. The MEENT walk in clinic was also very nice and the nurses very pleasant. He actually gave me pictures of the procedure at my follow up visit.

Doctor Dronsky is very experienced. He diagnosed my hernia right away and I was able to get a surgery date very quickly. Follow-up visited also went great. I am very happy I picked Doctor Dronsky to do my surgery

I couldn't have asked for a better experience. After two PC physicians failed to find what I was sure was a hernia I scheduled an appt. with Dr. Dronsky at a friend's suggestion. Within five minutes of meeting him he'd found THREE hernias, guided my fingers to them so I could feel them for myself, and set my mind completely at ease.
The surgery was quick, clean, and professional. Dr Dronsky's been extremely helpful with my follow-up questions and recovery is going smoothly. Best doctor I've had.

-Regis Z in New York NY | Jul 12, 2016
Loved having Dr. Dronsky as my doctor. He was professional, courteous, funny and had a conservative approach to treatment, surgery, and recovery - which I appreciated. He was very realistic with me on what i could do post-op and did a great job of explaining everything that was going on. I was treated with acute appendicitis and had a laparoscopic appendectomy. Both times I enjoyed being under Dr. Dronsky's care.

It is a pleasure to say that Dr. Valery Dronsky and his staff are one, if not, the best in-patient care. If you ever need to have gallbladder surgery ? Dr. Dronsky is the surgeon you want. He goes above and beyond the standard questions and answers. He is right by your side from the first office visit through your recovery period?kudos to Dr. Dronsky and his staff!

Great doctor who tells you the truth, felt very comfortable and secure having him do a double hernia operation on me.

-michael in New York, NY | Apr 03, 2016
I saw Dr. Dronsky for hernia issues I was having 2 years. I saw 2 other primary care doctors in the past that said I did not have any hernias. One visit to Dr. Dronksky and within 5 minutes he was able to diagnose me with bilateral and umbilical hernias. He was even kind enough to guide me to feel them for myself, which was awesome. He is hands on,explains everything, answers all questions and even gave me pictures of my internals during surgery. He has allowed me to return to jiu jitsu.

-Marc S in New York, NY | Apr 02, 2016

Dr. Dronsky is very sincere, passionate and confident so that I didn't need to be nervous before/after my operation. He responded to me immediately when i had questions. I am so glad that he is my surgeon.

-Stephanie B. in Astoria, NY | Feb 29, 2016
Dr. Dronsky performed a massive hernia operation on my mother, one of the largest he had ever seen. Prior to the surgery, he meticulously went over every aspect of her condition, providing every detail, answered every question and ultimately allowed my mother to make the decision for herself. His compassion and bedside manner made all the difference during this ordeal. I have never seen a doctor so committed to his patients, caring for them as if they were his own.

I just had my entire abdominal wall rebuilt by Dr. Donsky. He did an awesome job - pain-free and no episodes at all. In a few months, I will be completely back to normal, with no athletic restrictions. I am extremely pleased with his care and professionalism. Thank you!!

Dr. Dronsky is a wonderful surgeon. He is kind, understanding and patient and puts his patients at their ease. Before and after my surgery, he took the time to explain the entire process to me.

My overall experience with Dr. Dronsky was excellent. He reviewed all options for my hernia surgery. he was very specific and spent the time necessary to answer my very specific researched questions and was very patient with me. He diagnosed me properly and the reception and pre and post op meetings were very alee organized, on time, and again answering all my questions.
