Dr. Michael A Troiano, MD

When was the last time a doctor personally checked in with you? Dr. T is amazing - it’s old fashioned medicine- where your doctor actually cares about you! I broke my foot a year ago. I kept telling my orthopedic doctor that something wasn’t right - that my ankle hurt more than the broken bone. I got a lot of “there there, you’ll be fine.” After months of no improvement I finally went to see Dr. T who LISTENED to me and was able to quickly order the right tests and diagnose my problem!

I first went to Dr. Troiano several years ago simply to get orthotics because my orthopedic surgeon recommended that I get orthotics. That very first appointment he said, "I'm going to be operating on your ankle in a few years." What kind of real surgeon makes that comment to someone who doesn't even have any complaints? Well, now it's several years later so I guess, in his book, that means I'm due for a surgery! I went with some new minor ankle pain and I thought I needed new orthotics. He took in-office xrays and then claimed that I need major surgery that would require bone fusion and a bone graft or as he put it in his reassuring way, "I'll break the heal and then fuse it to the other bones." If that barbaric description doesn't put you off, I don't know what will. Luckily, I went to an orthopedist at Penn for a second opinion. They saw his xrays and repeated the xrays in their office which looked the same. And guess what? The ankle joint space looks perfectly fine and I don't… need surgery. My new pain is from scar tissue that developed after my first surgery. So either he doesn't know how to read the xrays of the body part that he specializes in or he knowingly recommended a major surgery that was not indicated. I will never go back to this "doctor."

My daughter has been battling juvenile bunions since she was 6. She had surgery on both feet and neither corrected the situation. Dr. Troiano did 1 surgery and it is 100% better than the other 2 surgeries. She had the surgery 4 days ago and says she wouldn’t go to any other foot doctor. Dr. Troiano thank you so much for all you have done to correct Valerie’s issues.

I have been battling this foot condition for 5 years. I feel confident for the first time with Troiano and his team. Awesome bedside manners, he actually care. He's a blessing.

DrTroiano is an excellent Surgeon. I am 2 weeks PostOp with surgery #2 (under his care) and recovery has been extremely difficult. Many emails have been sent and all have been answered. I am extremely grateful to have him on this difficult journey with me. I respect him as a surgeon and trust him with my life. I'm more than just a name on a file. His patients matter to him. I'm one of them.

He worked his magic on my ankle! Came out of surgery with 80% less pain. Very thoughtful and caring. Takes his time explaining everything and answering questions, plus has a good sense of humor too. Truly the best of the best!
