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.

Dr. Aleto explains the hip replacement procedure thoroughly as well as at the post-op. visit. He takes time to answer any questions and provides specific aftercare treatment to enable his patient to recover with minimal pain. He provides handouts for all his instructions to further enhance a quick recovery. His expertise speaks for itself!

Timeliness. Office runs on time. One time Dr. Elito stood in for a follow up visit because his assistant was running behind.

Dr Aleto is an excellent surgeon but above that is
The explanation and care and concern that Dr Aleto shows is over and above most doctors. His surgical skills are out standing. I never felt I was left on my own because office contact was always available.

Dr. Aleto is an excellent surgeon but also an outstanding individual. When I am in his office I feel like the only patient he has. He is outstanding in explaining concerns, procedures and expected outcomes and answers any question with patience. I had a partial on the right in May 2024 and will return for a partial on the left August 2024.
