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.

Dr. Azzoni and staff are pleasant enough however he seemed like he could care less that I was in pain. Instead telling me nothing was wrong with my knee and I should do wall squats. He spoke in medical jargon and didn't explain what he was talking about - he was more concerned with the note taker in the room than his patient. I will not return and instead going for a second opinion in Boston, where I should have gone in the first place.

Dr. Azzoni performed total knee replacements on both of my knees. The first was when he was in his own practice, the second was after he became a part of Heywood Orthopedic Associates. I cannot speak highly enough about Dr. Azzoni's excellence as a surgeon. Truly remarkable. However, the questionable competence and laissez-faire attitude of the staff he is now surrounded by would prevent me from ever going back, or recommending him to anyone I know or care about.

My followup appt 2 wks after carpal tunnel surgery: his appts were double-booked, waiting time ridiculous. He brought 2 people into exam rm I'd never seen before & didn't introduce them. He removed my stitches without a word (the incision was much longer than I'd been told to expect). He didn't clean off the blood! Started to leave. I had to stop him to ask if it was healing ok, where I could wash it, & what about scheduling other wrist? Wish I had more space for the rest of this disaster.
