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.

I Dislocated my shoulder
The Dr. Ghigiarelli and the person that works with him all the time were great. I was in a lot of pain in the begining and they treated me gently and were informative. They both were very pleasant. As my treatment progressed, i learned that I looked forward to seeing them.I wish I knew his partners name. She was always so calming.Thank You Both

Seen in walk in clinic with 3 months of pain in hip, barely able to walk. Did 1 x ray. Told me condition was psychosomatic and to exercise more. Turns out I had stage 3 cancer with a tumor pressing up against a nerve. Lesson learned: if you have any serious health conditions leave NEPA for a place with better medical care. The people at UPenn and MSKCC were outstanding.

Went to see Dr. G for a second opinion and he did nothing but belittle my wife and her concerns. Several weeks later we saw her pain management doctor and he set up a MRI on her left hip. The results were definitive and her hip was deteriorating. We set up an appointment for a top hip replacement doctor who agreed that her left hip needed to be replaced. Dr. G was in my opinion, a doctor you need to stay away from if you need to get an expert opinion from a qualified orthopedic doctor.
