I had visited Dr. Fogolin in the past, and most recently in March 2023 for a right foot fracture. Dr. Fogolin is always professional, accurate in his diagnosis, and straight-forward. Dr. Fogolin does talk a lot (laughs!) HOWEVER, it is because he wants you to fully understand the scope of your injury, how to best heal, and what measures you to monitor and maintain healthy bones. Not only did he successfully treat my fracture, he took the time to educate me about bone density baseline testing, supplementation (D3 and Ca), etc. to maintain healthy bones now and in the future. He doesn't just treat the ailment, he educates. He will tell you the how, what, why and where! Superb doctor all the way around. I highly recommend Dr. Fogolin, and would not hesitate to return to him in the future.

Dr Fogolin replaced my left knee March 23. 2023. I’m now six weeks out and feeling great. He explained the procedure and my rehabilitation. I am looking forward to a pain free summer. Dr Fogolin did an excellent job and I would highly recommend him.

I've seen Dr. Fogolin a number of times in the past 17 years, and wouldn't consider going to anyone else. From minor back issues to major (recent) shoulder surgery, his care has been tremendous. He's patient, explains everything clearly, and his results speaks to his expertise. Wouldn't consider anyone else for Orthopedic care!

Dr. Fogolin did an outstanding job with my shoulder surgery. Two cuff repairs, labrum repair, and bicep tendon repair and I couldn't be more pleased. He was very professional and informative... my outcome has been better than expected. His staff is also amazing.
