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.

If you want a doctor that has the worst God complex that you will ever encounter, then this doctor is for you. He is a maniacal overlord that believes he can do no wrong, so that means you must be a liar and not in pain, so he will not do the right thing to help you. He use to work at the VA, so I would suggest if you have had your fill of VA doctors and you are a veteran, then stay away from this doctor and you will be better off. If you ask him routine questions, he will yell at you and not to ask him such questions and not to talk to him like that(again, routine questions about surgeries he has performed on you). He is also not good at the truth, having his staff put lies in his records. I fell one time, he had his staff put in my records that I fell multiple times. I needed a second surgery to correct his mistakes, and he would not do it, because it would mean he messed up (remember, his reactions to thinking he doesn’t mess up). His office staff is top notch, they

Excellent! – Feb 11, 2021

Dr. Colosimo was very thorough in testing, explaining the problem and procedure to be done on my legs. He is very conscientious, and waited 3 days to do the procedure until my counts were where they should be. He checked on my condition each day while I was in the hospital. He was always caring about how I was progressing. We are SO thankful that he was our doctor and could cure my problem. His staff made copies of his reports for us to take home with us, and the girls were always friendly
