From a young age, Dr. Daniel Buchalter was inspired by his father, Dr. Joel Buchalter, a founder of Somers Orthopaedic Surgery & Sports Medicine Group, PLLC. Growing up in the picturesque horse country of Westchester County, Dr. Daniel Buchalter saw the profound impact that his father had on the lives of his patients and the immense joy it brought him to have the privilege to care for his neighbors. Having developed an independent fascination with the inner workings of both cars and computers Dr. Daniel Buchalter saw a clear career path that combined both his mechanical inclination with his desire to be able to serve his community in the same way that his father did his whole life. His father's legacy as a revered orthopedic surgeon and community leader, combined with his mentorship at home, profoundly shaped Dr. Daniel Buchalter's career path and interest in dedicating his life to the care of patients in his community.
Looking ahead, Dr. Buchalter is excited to work alongside his lifetime mentor and role model, his father, and the esteemed Somers Orthopaedics team, to continue to bring the latest orthopedic advancements to the Carmel, Mt.
