He is professional and did a great hip replacement for me. I was a perfect specimen again in 6 weeks. He listened to my silly concerns and helped me return to normal. If you ever need a surgeon, he is the man!!

No one in the office seems to return phone calls. It is very difficult to make decisions and get results without being able to ask the doctor certain questions. Otherwise, I have nothing but good things to say about this practice.

Over the last 10 years I used Dr. Polifroni to replace both my hips and left knee. I consulted many highly regarded medical professionals and have never met anyone in my life that I would trust more than Dr. Polifroni. Everything he has ever said to me has been the truth. All 3 surgeries went well and at age 52 I can enjoy my life.

Dr. Polifroni performed an ACL reconstruction on my knee about 20 years ago and I have not had a problem with it since. My father who also has used Dr. Polifroni over the years, had recently fallen and broken his hip and had surgery to repair. To date his recovery has gone great.

Dr Polifroni did 2 knee surgeries on me. He is compassionate, caring, and lets you know exactly what is going to occur before and after and the surgery ad sees you thru till you are 100%. He is not one to operate at the drop of a dime he will do whatever he can before he even suggest sugey but when h does you know that it was a last esort. I recommend him highly for all your orthepedic need.
