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.

Not his fault
My visit was terrible. I had a person call me to schedule the appointment after being sent for an MRI by the original doctor that I saw with Premier. Upon being seen by the doctor, he told me he also did not specialize in the specific type of injury that I had and I needed to see another doctor. Why is it that you guys can’t get straight with Dr within your own practice? It’s very disheartening and makes me think I should not use premier at all

Pre surgical visit
Dr Giammattei is always pleasant, professional and doesn’t rush you through your visit. He did surgery on my left knee and will now be doing the right knee because he did such an amazing job! I highly recommend his practice and surgical skills!

Excellent Surgeon
Dr Giammattei has performed 2 knee replacement surgeries on me - the first surgery was in January 2013 and the second surgery was February 2024. I had wonderful results on both knees - no more knee pain and my knees function perfectly. If you are having knee pain Dr Giammattei is the surgeon you need to go see! I highly recommend him!

My husband dislocated his right shoulder in a fall on ice last friday. DrGiammattei saw his Friday morning after an xray. He needed ONLY an Xray because it showed exactly what the problem was. He worked first with Mike to reduce the shoulder with only local anesthesia and finally , after many attempts, Mike eventually needed conscious sedation. I am a former physician's assistant and the service we had was fantastic! Staff and doctor could not have been better, very thankful

I have seen Dr. Giammattei since 1996. He has always been upfront and honest about the condition o my knees. We went through series of Synvisc and Orthovisc shots until they were ineffective. Finally, in June 2017, He performed double knee replacement surgery. The surgery was very successful. He said he's fry to straighten my legs a little. He did such a good job that at age 76 I grew an u=inch taller. Dr. Giammattei is a true professional and a gentleman. Not only does he perform surgery well, but he also communicates very well. He called my partner, Janet, before I came out of the effects of anesthesia and gave her a detailed account of the surgery as well as a prediction for my recovery. He has always been available to listen and to explain everything I was concerned about. I grew up in a medical family so I learned early that doctors are not gods and that not all doctors good communicators or nice people. Dr. Giammattei is in the top three doctors who have helped me in my life
