Dr Germano is a great doctor. I went to see him for osteoarthritis. He told me to do physical therapy and take anti inflammatory medication. He explained everything to me. Told me to follow up in 6 weeks

Had hip replacement with dr Germano, I have more problems now then I did before surgery, he does not do measurements, so leg was much more longer then the other, which causes other issues beware.

After having both my hips replaced I need a right hip revision and could not find a doctor who would touch another doctors work. Dr James Germano gave me another chance ta life.

Dr. Hermano did a hip replacement as revision surgery. He was very nice, caring and competent, definitely better than the first surgeon i had in the ER. I would definitely recommend him.

Dr Germano was responsible for me having two total knee replacements that I suffer from to this day. first he did the left knee and I don't know who did the right knee probably his interns, but for three months after the surgery I walked around with the Cather from the pain pump inside my leg I also had a extra hole in the back of my knee that he could not explain. The leg healed with the Cather inside it and then one day broke through the skin , but when I called Dr. Germano He was no where to be found and refused to answer his pager. I suffer with pain in my knees to this day, I trusted him but never again. Monica D.
