The doctor listened to my concerns and referred a surgeon to get me back to 100% so I can do all of the activities I love. He explained all of the options in detail so I could decide which one was best for me. I would definitely go back.

From the moment I walked in, the front desk staff was very helpful and efficient. All the staff and the X-ray technician was very friendly. I’m very pleased with the service, as I had everything completed in one day, including X-rays and treatment for my severe knee pain. Dr. Darosa quickly identified my medical issues and is highly knowledgeable. I highly recommend his expertise and experience in sports medicine.
