What I appreciate about Dr Fassero is his integrity! He is completely loyal to his patients, not orthopedic companys! He is an amazing surgeon, keeps us with the latest in technology and newest developments in orthopedics, and helps so many people! He gave me my life back! I love my new knees, and couldn't be happier! THANK YOU DR FASSERO for learning about and giving me the Oxinium 30 year knees so I don't need revisions in 10-15 years. You are awesome!

I give Dr, Fassero credit for saving my foot years ago which was basically disconnected from my leg due to a compound tibia and fibula. I was lucky he was on call that night. I think other doctors may have decided to just amputate. He also repaired a meniscus for me a few years back. I highly recommend him.

Dr Fassero did my right knee for me. He is awesome. I was concerned about the pain because medication makes me sick. He made sure that I was taken care of, and I came out of surgery fine. I was able to go home and take care of myself. I couldn't ask for better care or results. After two years he is still checking on me. When I had any questions or concerns, he would always quickly get back to me and make me feel better. Thanks Doctor Fassero...you're the best.

Dr needs to retire. His bedside manner is a joke. Wont read the mri in front of you, I had a serious orthopedic problem that another dr picked up on within 3 minutes of the visit. Take it from me, go find another doctor!

Dr Fassero has done a hip and knee for me! He is an excellent Doctor. He is Mayo Clinic trained and is the only specialist I have seen that looks at the "whole patient". He is personable, thorough, compassionate, and a very skilled surgeon. I felt totally at ease because he exudes confidence, without being hauty. He seems now like an old friend when I see him. His office staff do well at followup. Tom Craft his assistant is such a nice easy guy and very caring too.
