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.

Horrible Doctor and Surgeon
Completely messed up my hip surgery and took absolutely no accountability.

i think Dr Russoniello is a great doctor he did surgery on my left knee 7 times before he had to do a knee replacement my knee felt much better but for some reason i could not move my knee more then 35 degrees that had dr russoniello confused so we tried therphery for 8 months and still nothing, so when i retired and moved to the philippines my knee started hurting for some reason and i saw a doctor he took a mri and said the knee is not aligned it off by 1 degree so the doctor went in and fixed my knee and he also found that dr russoniello left a guide pin in my knee that's why my knee was hurting me this could have been a malpractice suit but i just left it alone. but yes i would still go dr russoniello because he is a very good doctor and knows what he is doing i highly recommend him to any one who has joint problems.

I have been a patient of Dr. Russoniello's for many years. In fact, most of the members of my family go to him as well. He has operated on my shoulder and given me injections over the years for tennis elbow. He has helped me with physical therapy for disc herniations, and if he cannot help, he has always recommended me to very good pain management doctors. I find him to be an excellent surgeon and a kind and compassionate person.

Referred by sisters's boyfriend. First time I met him he was patient & answered all questions. Finally felt hope as he was doctor #6 for my back/hip/thigh pain. Sent me for an MRI. Told me nothing wrong with hip, refused to answer any questions about why it would hurt, kept interrupting me saying hes not going to sit here & keep telling me its not my hip. More upset he was doctor #6 & not #1. Acted like since he couldn't make money off of me he didn't want to give me time of day. Arrogant & rude

Dr Russoniello fixed my knee and my shoulder. Both are doing fine. I highly recommend him. He's caring and attentive and a skilled surgeon. His staff walks you through the whole process. It really was a breeze.
