I have known Dr. Scilaris since he started his practice. I am a former OR Nurse of over 40 years, who also had the pleasure of being his Nurse at times over the years. Dr. Scilaris is incredibly compassionate, a fabulous diagnostician and an excellent surgeon! One who truly cares about you. My mistake, I was not aware he accepted my insurance. After 6 years of pain & incompetent docs. Dr. Scilaris operated on me yesterday. I am a new woman!!! I can now stand up, sit down, sleep and just live with no knee pain! He is also my WC Dr and will be operating on both my shoulders. I have no fear at all. He will and has already decreased my pain so I can breathe. I highly recommend him to everyone. His entire team at the office and the surgi center I went to are FABULOUS!
