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.

Excellent
Dr A is a kind considerate thoughtful Dr who truly tries to help. He spends time explaining and is so caring

I have permanent "Drop Foot" now!
In 2011 and 2012 I was experiencing severe pain from a dislocated L3-L4 vertebrae and disc. I found out later that I really needed emergency surgery, the Doctor told me that spinal injections would significantly help with my pain. So I had 6 injections in about six months' time. During the 4th injection (A Transforaminal spinal injection), I felt a definite jolt in my spinal cord. A few days later, I noticed I couldn't lift my left foot anymore. It's more than 10 years later and my suffering is worse. The nerves to my left leg anterior tibialis muscle are apparently severed and now the muscle is paralyzed. Warning!!!

Dr. Adipietro cured my lifelong back pain with two procedures, one year apart. That was 5 years ago. The office manager (Eileen?) fought my insurance co. to ensure I was covered. I've sent many friends with the same results. Run, walk or crawl if you have to but just GO.

Probably the most arrogant and rude person I've ever met in my life. I wouldn't let him touch me with a 10-foot pole. I have told everyone about the horror story of an experience I had with him. Hopefully nobody will ever have to endure his unprofessionalism.

Dr. Adipietro was rude, arrogant, condescending, impatient, uninterested and insensitive to our concerns, questions or experiences. I wouldn't let this arrogant individual put a band-aid on me, so there is no way he's putting a needle in the spine of any family member. He personifies the arrogance that eventually hurts patients. I've never had an experience like that. The staff was lovely, but they seemed intimidated and sort of afraid of him too. It was crazy... truly bazaar.

Procedure today, so probably too soon to comment on result. But need to say, staff was extraordinary, facility was impressive, I'm very optimistic about what has been a chronic "incurable" pain issue.
