Dr. Joseph Daniel Valentino, MD

Dr Valentino is an EXCELLENT GI surgeon & gives his patients 110%. You don't choose a surgeon like you would a friend. You find the surgeon who is the most skilled. Dr Valentino was trained by the best, at The Cleveland Clinic, which was the initial reason I chose him. Most people don't need to have a long-term relationship with a surgeon, but I am not that fortunate. I have severe Crohn's & have required surgical intervention 7 times to date. The last 4 have been with Dr Valentino and all have been under less-than-ideal circumstances. In Jan 2019, my bowel perforated & my body was shutting down. They took me to the OR on a Sunday morning, but he wasn't on call. The dr who was rounding called him & he left a family event to ensure I was getting the best care possible. That year, I saw Dr Valentino more than any other dr. He made me feel well-cared for and safe. He did all he could to honor my wishes. I have the utmost respect for him & would recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Valentino, no doubt, was instrumental in saving my life after being diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. His care & concern for me personally, overall knowledge & confidence, leadership with interns, and detail in explaining treatments & outcomes, I would highly recommend Dr. Valentino. Three years later after the surgery & consistent follow up with Dr. V, I'm still cancer free. I love this guy!

I have been seeing Dr Valentino for awhile now, he's been amazing to me with no issues. Both surgery's went smooth with no complications. He's nice, he listens and explains in details, I feel safe being in his care.

Dr Valentino is the best! He is smart, thoughtful, and experienced. His nurse is great, and the whole staff is super helpful. I couldn’t recommend him more.

I was diagnosed with neuroendrocine carcinoid cancer and knew that I needed to find a great team for treatment. As I searched for a medical team to provide treatment, I looked at groups near and far. I choose Joe Valentio because of his education, his experience and his skill as a surgeon. I was not disappointed with my decision. What I did not anticipate was the care and kindness that Dr. Valention provided. Dr. Valentio was there to answer questions from my wife and me and to reassure us when questions arose. His confidence gave us hope, his skill gave us results, his care gave us comfort.

I came to the appointment after seeing a couple other colorectal surgeons in town. No other doctor took the time to listen to me like Dr. Valentino. He explained to me my condition, explained my treatments with and without surgery and even had his staff get me in with other providers that helped treat my condition. After having surgery I have never felt better. Honestly, I couldn't thank that office more. I would suggest him a million times to anyone who would listen.

This colorectal surgeon should NEVER be allowed to work on living breathing adults! He would be more suited as a medical examiner in the morgue. The pain he inflicts is beyond anyone’s imagination. Don’t ever complain to hospital staff about the way he’s treating you because he will come back into your room and you will wish you were dead.

Dr Valentino was very thorough in his work up of my problem. He explained everything so I could understand it, and took extra time to make sure all my questions were answered. I trust him and am so glad he was my surgeon. Would highly recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Valentino is very straight to the point, which I appreciated. If it wasn't for him, I would not be alive. I am grateful to him!
