Dr. Pugleasa is a great orthopedist with a wonderful attitude. He is professional, friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. He listens to your concerns and makes you feel at ease. He has helped me a couple of times. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

The registration staff were fine. The x-ray tech was adequate. The doctor never acknowledged my wife, was not interested in my comments or additional issues related to my pain and was quite cavalier about my injury. He was flip in his attitude and could not even decide if my x-rays showed additional fractures. We will never return!

Misdiagnosed a very serious fracture as torn acl, barely glanced at xray which hospital suggested possible fracture, waited 5 days for MRI which should have been ordered immediately for acute skiing injury, never checked pulse in lower leg,. Stay away from this idiot.
