The office itself is old and has a strange smell, but don't let that scare you or turn you off! Dr. Lastihenos was very professional, throughout and had great bedside manner!

I saw PA Michael Polidoro. Excellent diagnostic and bed side manner.I did not feel rushed and he answered every question I asked . The medical technician and x Ray technician were professional and polite. The front desk staff was courteous and helpful. A very pleasant experience .

The PA and the doctor were very professional. The Xray tech was very experienced and quick. The worst part was the wait in the waiting room that was over an hour, and when I went there this morning there were only a few people. When I left, the waiting room was full. Hopefully, they will not wait even longer.
February 3, 2016John B.Verified patient
I thought the staff there was excellent. The P A and the DR. Was great , they took the time to ask me questions and then examined me to get a clear diagnosis of my situation. Then they took ex rays right away and officially diagnosed the problem in my hip and said I needed no surgery they made me excitedly happy. They are they best so far and today was my first visit with them. I highly recommend this facility to everyone who's looking for a great orthopedic Dr.
