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.

My initial visit with Dr. Christino was extremely brief, she asked few to no questions and displayed very little curiosity in or investment in learning about my injury. Treatment plans were depersonalized and zero notes were uploaded after the appointment. I would not recommend.

This is the second knee surgery my 19-year-old son has had with Dr. christino. She is amazing, very compassionate. She explained everything in detail she communicates with the patient in a timely manner. And after the first surgery last year my son was able to play hockey again! Other knee injury this year operated on today and I have all the confidence in the world he will be back skating again thanks to Dr. Christino. I highly recommend her cannot say enough about her!!!

She treated my son's shoulder injury. Extremely thorough, patient and compassionate. Went beyond normal to check in on him after surgery.
