Dr a Terrono is at the top of his profession. He is very experienced, is thorough and provides all options for care. surgery is not his first option if there are other more appropriate plans of care.

November 9, 2011SM
checking in I was informed the Doctor was running 45-60 minutes behind! How can that be before 10am??? I rec'd 20-25 texts or emails prior to my appointment. Is it too much to ask that they send ONE more indicating what they obviously already know? My 10am appointment really isn't going to happen until 11am. When I asked the receptionist, she pointed to the homemade sign behind her that indicated he was one of TWO doctors already running an hour behind. What kind of system is that??? When I asked the young lady that brought me back to the exam room, her reply was that "they are busy little bees, today". Oh well, never mind then!!

Great “bedside” manner and Boston Sports and Shoulder is such a well run practice. I was in and out quickly due to their shoe efficient office team, and that included seeing Dr. Terrono, then getting X-rays, and seeing him again before the visit was over. Booking on ZocDoc was easy and fast. I booked an appointment online for Monday on the Thursday night at 8 pm, and by 8:30am on Friday morning the office called to confirm. Awesome!

August 1, 2019Cathy S.Verified patient
Dr. Terrono was knowledgeable and I trusted him with my care, but I had to take X-Rays, for the second time, which took about an hour and a half. Overall, I was at the hospital for about 3 hours and no treatment was actually given (none was needed at this date). My only complaint is that wait time.
March 6, 2019Catherine M.Verified patient
Dr. Terrono was extremely thorough in his exam and paid attention to my entire history. I felt he was genuine in his desire to find the best treatment for me given my age and occupation.
