Dr, Acurio has treated my rotator cuff, my knee, my back and my hand. I am not far out on a knee replacement. He has a wonderful bedside manner and listens to what you are saying. I highly recommend him for any orthopedic injury.

He always makes sexual comments and has only made my injury worse. Terrible Dr. His only answers are pain pills and surgery. The medical board should check into him.

Dr. Acurio has been my orthopedist for 12 years. He finally diagnosed a very unusual condition that I had been to 3 local orthopedic specialists seeking help. They ran lots of tests and came back without an answer. Dr. Acurio diagnosed the problem, accurately, with a purely physical exam! He corrected the problem surgically, and I had 10 years of comfortable movement following the surgery. I have sent many friends and Church members to him and people have been very grateful. When I recently had a neck and shoulder problem he fixed me up non-surgically. He is not anxious to cut! I really feel like we are friends and I can be honest and he never sugar coats his comments. I like his bluntness and good humor, but his expertise is what really causes me to be his biggest fan. I urge you to give him a try and see if you too can be helped by this fine orthopedic surgeon and diagnostician.
