Actually saw the NP--A Johnson and she is also just as great. Took her time to review my xrays and how things have been going since my hip was replaced. Explained time frames with me and when to come back if needed. Dr. Colanese and his team have made life wonderful again!

I thought be was very courteous and very willing to explain and answer any questions I had. He found a solution quickly and put it into action, unlike the last doctor I saw who said it’s arthritis but offered no course of action.

I waited less than 10 minutes to be called and less than 5 minutes after answering the nurse’s questions for the doctor to begin the examination. Dr. C answered all my questions and my husband’s questions.

Dr. Colanese was very personable and was able to communicate the issue with my hip and the options. There were no issues with the surgery and follow up. My hip feels better than it has in years.
