I’m hoping it was unusual but I waited a very long time. First, I was brought in to the wrong drs office area and at that point I was the wrong patient. Then I waited again to be brought in and waited. There was an apology for the tardiness. He was knowledgeable and gave me options as to how to proceed for my issue. I would trust his opinion if I find it necessary to return to him.

Fantastic Orthopedic Doctor; within a few minutes of being X-rayed we discussed my options for treatment of my chronic left knee pain; based upon our discussion of the details of my injury, physical examination of the knee, my current physical condition, the radiographs and my recent PT appointments Dr Alessandro And I agreed that I should continue my PT treatments; and if my improvement had leveled off one cortisone shot might be an option to alleviate the soreness. Dr Alessandro felt that gradually the pain would subside to the point that I could resume my ususl activities including walking, Biking, yoga and hiking; His opinion was that surgery could be avoided by following his treatment plan. I highly recommend Doctor Alessandro and am so grateful to have seen him.

Dr. Alessandro has been my doctor for a very long time. While he was out of town, I was in excruciating pain and was seen in a short period of time by his physician's assistant, Amanda. With in a week, the pain returned and I was able to see Amanda again. I followed up a week later with Dr. Alessandro. During the 3 week period, I received shots, X-ray and MRI were ordered and physical therapy was prescribed. I was fortunate that Dr. Alessandro has a competent staff and they are available on short notice. Currently my right upper arm is pain free.
