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’ve been completely neglected
Why I stayed under Dr Noce care for as long as I did I have not clue. He has completely neglected me. His communication is horrendous. Never follows through on anything that has been talked about. As soon as I changed Doctors after 4 months with no results my wound went from 0% progress in 4 months under his care to 60% in 2.5 weeks. He discharged me with an infection later to find out I was to get back to the ER ASAP otherwise I was facing severe illness. I went on NPO 4 times not knowing if I was going to have surgery the next day or not to then not having surgery. This list could be a mile long of the situations of pure neglect. Dr Noce should be banned from practicing medicine. I will do everything possible to prevent from anyone possibly being under his care.

Worst Surgical Experience of My Life
I met Dr Noce just before heading into surgery. He offered very little eye contact, was abrupt and impatient with my questions, and not at all comforting or reassuring. I had fallen 10 days earlier and broken my right wrist. It was recommended by a PA that I have a plate put in for my best chance at recovery and full return of mobility. I was in terrible pain right after surgery and was THEN subjected to a nerve block while fully conscious. It was excruciating. When I asked why it was not done while I was under anesthesia I was told that the doctor had to know I was in bad pain before approving it! I had to ask for a RX for pain medication and he gave me EIGHT tablets - 2 1/2 days worth. I am still in a lot of pain at the surgical site and continuing to process how horribly traumatic and brutal this whole experience has been.

Hardly a "specialist". Go elsewhere if you can. This guy clearly doesn't care about his patients' well being.

Smug jerk who doesn't listen to patients. His MA is incompetent and when I questioned her he called me back and proceeded to act as a quasi tough guy telling me with a stern tone he didn't like how I spoke to her. Hey man, no one with a bow tie like that is tough. Complete lack of personality and bedside manner aside, when I asked him about a tendonitis issue he tried to say it was a nerve issue. Right. Bottom line is I now have to wait another month to see another doctor after already suffering for 8 months. Avoid at all costs.

After seeing some of the negative reviews I thought perhaps they were wrong about this doctor and his care and went to see him hoping he could help me with my wrist pain. Needless to say those negative reviews were spot on. He doesn’t listen to what is being said. He doesn’t offer any help to find the actual reason behind the pain. He essentially wants people to live with the pain. Try a different doctor before going to this one and wasting weeks of time suffering with your pain. Find one that will help you find the answers and not pass you on to another doctor.

Dr Noce did an amazing job repairing my daughter’s finger after a bike accident. He was kind, explained everything thoroughly and did not make us feel rushed at all. Her finger was broken and the tissue was badly damaged and after surgery her finger looked so much better immediately.

Memorial Day, 2017, I fell playing tennis and broke my wrist really bad. Dr. Noce was in the ER the afternoon it happened. 3 days later, he performed a 2.5 Hour surgery. The pain was excruciating for at least 2 months. Simple tasks were almost impossible. About 2 months ago, I started playing tennis again. I have NO pain! It is a complete miracle and I think Noce must be a genius. Thank you!

Very disappointed in the overall experience, from front staff all the way through to the Dr. After waiting for almost two hours, he was abrupt and I didn't feel he was listening or cared about what I saying. A year after a scope and I'm seeking care elsewhere because the issue isn't resolved for me. I cannot accept a Dr. telling me, "that's just the way it's going to feel."

I had a carpal tunnel release surgery done with a scope. Dr. Noce did an absolutely excellent job. My recovery was fast, and my scar is so small you can barely see it. They took great care of me the day of surgery and made sure that I was not nauseated for the car ride home. I highly recommend him to family and friends. My husband is actually going to have his surgery done by Dr. Noce as well.

I found Dr. Noce to be curt, unfriendly, and not helpful. After telling me there might be a third break, but would have to look at the original ex-ray, he couldn't be bothered to do so. After five weeks my hand & wrist remain painful. He said I needn't return. I would not recommend him.

Terrible doctor that could care less about helping his clients. Not helpful and basically told my wife that she has to live with pain in her wrist (she is in her twenties by the way). Gave her zero plan of action and will never recommend people to him.
