Dr. Cugini is not only an amazing surgeon, he’s an amazing knowledgeable physician. He has excellent bedside manner and explain everything in great detail. He is easy to talk to and he listens to you. His staff is wonderful and they are very quick to return your call with any questions or concerns. As a nurse myself; I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Cugini and his staff. He’s well organized and effective in his care. Thank you Dr. Cugini for all the care you provided to me. If anyone needs a surgeon recommendation; I recommend Dr. Cugini.

Some of the answers below go past the EXCELLENT number indicated by the stars. But since I could only put 5 stars, that was my limitation. "He could work on me anytime"

Fantastic surgeon. Used by my daughter, I then used as well. Entire pre-op, surgery itself, and post-op went seamlessly.

Dr. Cugini was on call the night I was in the ER and needed surgery. He explained everything and did a wonderful job. He found something that did not show up on the CT scan and removed it. I was released the next day with very little pain.
