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.

Saved my 14 year olds knee
He could have trimmed her meniscus injury, but instead spent hours reconstructing her meniscus so she wouldn’t have arthritis later in life. He is the real deal. Very good, smart and really cares.

Shoulder Evaluation and Operation
I have been seeing Dr. Racanelli for more than 10 years for various knee and shoulder injuries. His office has always been very prompt at getting me in to an exam room near the time of my appointment and the Dr is in to see me without much wait. In a busy schedule, that is always refreshing. His evaluations of my symptoms have always been pretty spot on and makes sure to explain options and remedies. My knee surgeries have gone well (all of them were scopes) and the recovery time was very minimal. I just had work done on my left shoulder from a spring break ski accident and so far so good on recovery. His office has always worked with me on getting me in to see him on short notice when I have injured myself.

Awesome experience
This is one of the most organized offices I've ever been in. I had surgery on my knee, and I didn't have to worry about anything but getting there on time! Dr. Racanelli has a great bedside manner and did a wonderful job on my knee. I had absolutely no pain after the surgery and my knee is doing 100 percent better than before the surgery. I would highly recommend this doctor!!

Entire practice is awesome. Extremely knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate. I live a considerable distance out of Dallas and they did everything possible to minimize travel time and inconvenience.

My complaint is with the call screeners
Very aggressive call screeners. I am a 15 year patient with Dr R. The last time I had this sports injury I was refused an appointment. This time I got in, after arguing. The call screeners imply that sports injuries are not within the scope of orthopedic practice. What medical professional should I call? Physical therapist? General surgeon? Does this meet the definition of patient abandonment?
