Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

The team of Dr. Zaino, Pa Jodie and surgical coordinator Daisy work amazingly well together. All of them exuded kindness, compassion and did their jobs above and beyond. I am truly grateful to have found them.

Dr. Zaino was patient and answered all of my questions no matter how trivial they may have been. Now that my injury is completely healed, and I no longer need to see him; he told me if anything came up I would always be welcomed back. That's a good feeling!

Dr. Zaino took the time to meet with me, explain the X-Rays and detail what his proposed treatment would be. He continued to make time to meet with during the post operative period to see how I was progressing.

i am very satisfied with the outcome of my surgery. Dr Zaino did a great job on my hand. i highly recommend him. His surgical skills are very phenomenal . The most important aspect of this surgery is that I am no longer in excruciating pain due to his gifted hands. Jodie, the PA was also very efficient and couldn't be nicer.

Went to Dr. Zaino and his PA Jodie Kunkel after a fall injuring my left elbow. Got an appointment immediately and evaluated for surgery to repair a fracture. The procedure was explained to me and quickly scheduled. Dr. Zaino and Jodie were compassionate and caring thru the whole surgical process. Recovery went very well with their recommendation for therapy at Ivy Rehab. Highly recommend Dr. Zaino/Jodie should you have a need for hand/elbow/arm repair. They are an amazing team and got me to recovery in less than 3 months.

Dr. Zaino was recommended to us and exceeded the recommendation. I fractured my wrist in more than one place and he took the time to explain and show me about the fracture and how he would do the surgery. His staff was friendly, courteous and professional. At all of my follow-up visits Dr. Zaino took plenty of time to respond to all of my questions and concerns. My experience was great and I highly recommend Dr. Zaino and his staff.

I fell and broke my finger. It was a severe fracture and the joint was smashed and displaced to the point that there was no space left in it. Needless to say, it was a bad injury. Dr. Zaino was professional and kind from day 1. He explained the injury to me and carefully laid out the plan. He performed surgery to repair the joint and an external fixation device was used to hold the bones in place while they healed. The device was removed about 10 weeks ago, and I am honestly in complete amazement at the results. The x-rays show a healthy and healed joint and bones, and I have full range of motion back! I feel very fortunate that I came to Dr. Zaino after my injury. He is truly the best of the best, and I have the results to prove it. He's trained on the latest techniques and procedures and will do everything possible to give you the best possible outcome from you injury. Thanks Dr. Zaino!
