Great doctor with a great staff.
The whole office staff is professional, courteous and knowledgeable. I have been seen by Dr Savarino several times. I highly recommend him.
I thought the office was neat, clean and very professional looking and the staff very nice. I guess I was satisfied, because I will be returning on Wednesday, March 8, for an MRI of my knee.
I previously had shoulder surgery with Dr. Montalbano and because their professionalism I have continued to go when need consult any issues.
He is the best 9 years ago had knee surgury he took care of me came back stronger Now he taking care of my other knee Wouldn't go to anyone else
Dr. Montalbano was pleasant and saw me right away. He was not anxious to run unnecessary tests and confirmed my thoughts about my back.
Comfortable and clean environment,professional & friendly staff. I would highly recommend this practice.

Great
Staff was very professional and attentive.
Dr. Montalbano is a great doctor. This was a follow-up and I went to get an MRI for more information.
Professional and friendly environment. Willingness to answer questions and provide additional referals
I found Dr. Montalbano to be a caring professional, with vast knowledge concerning my knee problem. He took all the time needed to explain what his diagnosis would be and any future treatment. He indicated if I need his services to please call his office. He was thorough with his exam and explained my course of treatment. Robert S.
He was totally professional and he is taking one step at a time. He doesn't jump to conclusions. I like that!!! Barbara T.
Dr Montalbano was a very attentive during my visit. He took the time to answer all my questions and was very polite and kind. I was there for a knee issue and he performed an ultrasound and explained everything he saw. I highly recommend him.
This being the Monday afternoon following Thanksgiving, I was expecting a bit of a wait, but it was all worthwhile. In stark contrast to the alarmist and unsympathetic demeanor of my previous physician who recommended surgery for my broken collar bone literally as I entered his office, Dr. Montalbano was both optimistic and caring, not to mention having used equipment far more sophisticated than what I witnessed at the previous office. At this point, he sees the collar bone recovering over a reasonable period of time, and was not hell bent on performing any surgery. On that front, his integrity matches his compassion and professionalism. I most highly recommend the office of Dr. Montalbano.
The assistant and the doctor were both friendly and thorough. I would recommend this doctor without hesitation. It was a friendly office and did not feel rushed.
Love the fact that Dr. Montalbano really knows athletes and he treated my daughter as such.
Very professional modern office, iPad for filling out forms. Multiple large screen t.v.'s , coffee, water,snacks make waiting area comfortable. Professional staff, X-ray and MRI on site.
Dr. Montalbano is a very good doctor but the office staff is the worst. You have some of the girls willing to do anything to help you and than you have others that should look for another job.
Doctor was good and professional but the staff was unprofessional. I asked them many times to make sure that the doctor is in-network. They said yes and then they billed me a big amount. Very unprofessional.
Dr. Mantalbano was quite cold - his bedside manner was severely lacking. He was really short with me, and made me feel silly for asking questions. The women who work in his office are incredibly rude - one put me on hold for 10 minutes, another promised to call me back and never did; they all spoke to me like they were doing me some grand favor by talking to me. I was very unimpressed by their unprofessional behavior.
Wait time can vary quite a bit. But thee doctors and PA are thorough, professional and pleasant to deal with. I trust them becuase I have gotten good care.
Waited for 2 hours and 15 mins...from talking to other patients in the waiting room, discovered that they double booked all the appointments...when I finally saw the doctor there was no apology for making me wait for two hours and with in a minute of poking at my knee he told me I needed an MRI...Its all about the money and I wouldn't send my worst enemy to these crooks.
They cancelled and reschedule for June 4 @ 10:30 Thank u
Staff is very pleasant to deal with...Always seen as scheduled
The doctor didn't seem to listen to my concerns. Once I said I was a runner, he seemed to make up his mind as to what my issue was.
GOOD JOB
Saw this doctor for the first time for some hand pain. He looked at my hands but didn't take any xrays. Instead he listed a number of diseases that I could have and told me to go to a lab for a blood test (his nurses couldn't take my blood in the office). I thought the appointment was a bit strange so went for a second opinion to a different doctor. The other doctor did a through exam and took xrays. The other doctor also recommended things I could try before going further (none of which involved a blood test). Whats worse? This doctor charged me twice as much as the other doctor and did half the work! I feel like I was overcharged and will never come here again.
I have been going to this office for several years. Sometimes I see Dr Montalbano & sometimes the other doctors or the PA. In all cases, I have been very happy with the level of care. They have been thorough, informative respectful & gentle. Wait time can vary a lot from visit to visit, however. Despite that fact, I highly recommend the practice.
I experienced the expected professionalism that I have come to expect from this doctor and his staff. Treatment and diagnosis were promptly and expertly done and I had no questions or anxieties.
It was great
Offices were clean and visually pleasing. Was a bit confusing figuring what which entrance to use to locate the office (have to use the north door rather than the south). Staff was fine though not great. Dr. Montalbano was professional and courteous.
The girls were very polite answered all my questions accordingly. Made me feel comfortable. The doctor was very precised with what ever was done in his office explain the details.
great
Pleasant. Besides my pain, he got my problem. Imediatly. Great Dr. And a nice guy.
