Wonderful, caring, Physician. He explains everything in detail. X-Rays were taken right in the office and he went over them with me, showing me exactly where the problem is and what needs to be done. I was given several treatment options

Excellent Doctor with a wonderful staff. Timely, courteous, knowledgeable, and caring.
Dr. Chiappetta was able to alleviate my severe shoulder pain almost immediately, and put me on a home therapy regimen that hopefully will prevent any reoccurrence! The office is fully staffed with many services such as x-ray on site, which is very accommodating for the patient!

Dr. Chiappetta has helped me with three surgeries in the last three years. His office and bedside manner are direct and to the point. I knew exactly what to expect every step of the way. I am a senior citizen Ballroom Dancer. I never thought I’d have the pleasure of a pain free life, never mind Dance again. Thanks to the skill of Dr. Chiappetta and his Team, my dream has come true.
I wish there were more than 5 stars, he deserves millions ! THANK YOU !

Dr Chiappetta is awesome. So easy to talk to, he listens to what issues his patients have, and is thorough in finding out exactly what's going on. I had x-rays since I could have had a hairline fracture which is what I was afraid of, but thankfully it was just badly bruised. He's very caring and asked me to call in 3 wks to let him know if it's better. I would highly recommend Dr. Chiappetta to anyone, he has such a great bedside manner and is so knowledgeable as well.
