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.

He performed a TFCC repair and a Medial Epicondylitis repair on my left elbow and wrist all in the same year. He was fantastic. I would highly recommend him for all your orthopedic needs.

I had an excellent visit with Dr. Cavo - a follow up to my ER visit for a severely cut wrist. He was extremely thorough, and gave me a full explanation of the internal damage that I had done, the different options available to repair, as well as explaining the probabilities of success and the implications. Overall, he was awesome!

I do not feel like he hearts my concerns, and declined to re x-ray my wrist, despite my occupational therapist and my concerns

I had been with one doctor and am continuing with another as the first one left the area. I liked the new one but had some worsening of my condition after the injections. Hoping that was a fluke and will improve soon. Looking for trust in my doctor as I'm on my third within one year. Hoping I've found the one that will take me through many years to come.

Dr Cavo explained the situation with my wrist and the options that I have to reduce pain. The challenge now is for me to decide whether to fuse the wrist or not. He gave me sufficient information on which to make a decision.
