Have seen him for several types of surgery. Saved my life, literally, when I had a gangrenous gall bladder

Late for my surgery (and I heard he is usually late for most surgeries). Poor bedside manner. This doctor is very forgetful and his medical assistant is even worse. She constantly violates patients' privacy, she is very rude, never washes her hands between patients, and makes personal calls during work. If you need surgery, do not go to this doctor. He is awful and needs to retire already. He didn't even remember where on my body I had surgery when he walked into the room.

I needed emergency splenectomy. He performed the surgery and follow up care. Excellent diagnosis and treatment of aftercare discomfort. Relief came within minutes. Excellent doctor. Highly recommend.

Dr. Cimino took care of my husband after a very tragic motor vehicle accident. If it wasn't for him, my husband wouldn't have been here. There's no question that he cared about my husbands life / recovery.
