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.

Stated to me 'why are you wasting my time after a nearly 2 hour wait. Enough said bye.

Shoulder injury issues
In Virginia 19 years ago I got hurt requiring major shoulder surgery. We moved to Florida 5 years ago and my PT in Virginia highly recommended Dr. Tutorino if I ever had issues. I saw him the first time in 2018 and was extremely impressed. Today back to him with the shoulder problem. His kindness and I appreciate his conservative approach! I’m in the winter of my years and have been involved with the medical field. I totally trust him and know his experience and judgment is what is best for my situation. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. TUTORINO!

Personally, I just have to say that he has to be one of the best ortho surgeons I've ever met! I'm an operating room nurse and I've seen many joint procedures and Dr. Tutorino's skills are definitely top tier. If I have to have my other knee done he will be the first one I call. His bedside manner leaves no questions unanswered and leaves you completely confident prior to and after surgery. Dr. Tutorino does beautiful work - see picture below - I can't thank him enough!!!

I would highly recommend Dr. Tutorino. He has repaired tears in both of my knees and has done an awesome job. He is very thorough and always explains what he is going to do and what to expect. Best part is very seldom do you have to wait more than 15 min. Usually always on time. I really appreciate all that he does to make you feel at ease in his office and before surgery. Pat Lehman

Horrible! This man has no interest in helping you. Given the fact that I was experiencing a high level of pain I expected this man to have some sense of urgency. It took him 2 weeks to give me MRI results and another 2.5 weeks to send script for physical therapy. All of this after waiting 3 weeks for a return call when the steroid shot didn’t work. His best recommendation was pain meds. No thanks. I wouldn’t take my cat to this man!

Will you usually wait past your appointment time...yes, but is the wait worth it...yes!! I had both my knees replaced last year. Right one in January and left one in August. I was out of work less than 2 weeks with each of them and the scars look as if a plastic surgeon did the work. I have no pain at all and I am walking over 5 miles a day now. Best thing I ever did and Dr Tutorino is great. Just schedule your appointments when you have a little extra time and relax. It's worth the wait.

I arrived early for my appointment and was left waiting 90 minutes past my appointment time with no apology. After having xrays taken, the doctor came in and spent less than 15 minutes with me. He took one look at my xrays and stated I needed both knees replaced but to take me as a patient would be for him to commit malpractice because of my weight. He judged me without knowing anything about my issues. He offered to send me to a gastric bypass doctor. I refused and left in tears.

Scheduled a morning appointment as I had a work meeting at noon. I arrived 15 minutes early, it was 30 minutes after my scheduled time before I was brought back to room, another 75 minutes before the doctor came in. He explained a couple things, an assistant came in with an issue, he left without explanation, never came back. Likewise, I won't be back.

No one wants to go to the Dr..... But when you do you want to feel welcome and like the Dr and staff care. Once again I was impressed by how courteous the staff was and my total treatment. Unfortunately I see many Drs some very good but horrible bedside manners (tell me why you are here, what would you like me to do about it and then they disappear). I have received excellent care before during and after surgery. I highly recommend Dr "T" and staff from my experiences

From the moment Dr.Tutorino first looked at my ganglion cyst, he put me at ease w\his knowledge of how to treat it and gave me more of his time than most doctors ever do. It was evident that he cared about my physical issue, as well as my personal concern. The surgery was scheduled and performed in a timely manner and very efficiently. He made sure to let me know how everything went after I came out of my anesthesia and was personally available for a follow up visit when I called w/a concern.
