A Non-Operative Approach to Orthopedic Care

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Dr. Harary is a board-certified sports medicine physician who specializes in the non-operative treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. If your condition requires surgical evaluation, he’ll refer you to a trusted orthopedic surgeon within Orthopedic Associates of Long Island.
Common reasons patients visit our Wading River office include sports injuries, arthritis, tendinitis, concussions, fractures that don’t require surgery, joint pain, and overuse injuries. Dr. Harary treats patients of all ages, from youth athletes to older adults.
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy uses a concentrated sample of your own blood platelets, injected under ultrasound guidance into the injured area to support the body’s natural healing process. It’s commonly used for tendon injuries, ligament problems, and early arthritis. Because PRP uses your own blood, there’s no risk of rejection or allergic reaction.
Viscosupplementation involves injecting a hyaluronic acid solution into an arthritic joint — most commonly the knee — to lubricate it and reduce pain. It’s typically given as a series of weekly injections, and relief can last six months or longer. Dr. Harary can help you decide whether it’s appropriate for your situation.
Ultrasound guidance lets Dr. Harary see the structures inside your joint or soft tissue in real time, so the medication goes exactly where it’s needed. This typically means better results, less discomfort, and a clearer picture of what’s happening with your injury.
Your first visit will include a thorough conversation about your symptoms, a hands-on examination, and often an ultrasound assessment in the office. Dr. Harary will explain his findings, walk you through the available treatment options, and work with you to decide on a plan that fits your goals. Plan for the visit to take about 45 minutes to an hour.
