Dr Aleto is great. Very informative. He will be doing my hip replacement in the fall. My mother had both of her hips replaced 4 years ago with no problems and only good things to say.

I had been seen by Dr. Aleto years ago. I was pleased to be able to see him again about the same left knee. He explained my X-rays and why I could be helped by a total knee replacement. my X-rays and agreed that surgery would be a good option.
