Frankly baffled by the negative reviews. If I could confer more than five stars I would gladly do so. I found Dr. Fracchia to be accessible and responsive to any questions I had. By the time I sought medical attention the cartilage in both my hips had been completely destroyed. His professional competence was more than confirmed by the results of two hip replacement surgeries in the course of three months that were performed quickly and successfully. No pain or discomfort at all was experienced during or after surgery, and I was immediately able not only to walk but also to negotiate stairs without difficulty, and was able to return home the day after surgery. Full recovery was achieved a few months after the second surgery, confirmed by follow-up visits, and I am now nearly as mobile as I ever was in my remote youth. Incisions and scarring were minimal and now barely noticeable. What more could one say or wish for?

When I see Dr. Fracchia it is never a bad experience. Any questions I have are always answered in a professional manner. I recommend him to everyone.

Dr. Fracchia operated on my torn lateral meniscus. I was very disappointed with the outcome of the surgery. What I find the most frustrating is how he didn't seem to believe what I did for a living and that I had a very physical job. I guess because I'm a woman he can't wrap his head around the fact that I don't work in an office and sit at a desk all day. I really don't know what I'm going to do but I wish I never had the surgery.

Horrible attitude, this is the type of doctor to avoid. Thinks he's a know it all and totally misdiagnosed the problem, find another orthopedic

"No need to order an MRI, because no matter what the results are, I am not going to surgically repair you." Dr. FracciaWent elsewhere for 2nd opinion. MRI ordered in days, operated on 2 days later. Well on my way to recovery now, but if I listened to Dr Fraccia my ankle would never have healed correctly.

Several of my family members go to him, ever since he helped my mom's hip when no one else could. He really cares about all his patients
