I just had my gallbladder removed by Dr. Valente last week and I'm doing great. He is very caring and incredibly informative. He went through every test and scan I have been through in the past year as my symptoms were not typical. His updated knowledge of pain control has been very beneficial to my quick recovery in spite of requiring an open surgery. I'm very grateful to have this great surgeon in our community.

One of the most caring and compassionate doctors I have ever come across. Very skilled and knowledgeable. Always willing to explain in terms you can understand. The entire staff in his office is the exact same way. I feel the Dr.s in this practice lead by example and it shows.
