The Doctor is great! It just took almost a year to get in for an appointment because the office kept re-scheduling. During that time I was still dealing with increasing pain and issues.
Perfect surgeon. I just wish he could have taken me as a patient!
Very thorough with a conservative and logical approach. Thank you for your time and patience in helping me understand my options a make a decision to hold off on spinal fusion.
Dr Iannotti is very kind. He explained my condition to me in a thorough, considerate manner and took time to answer my questions. I have a lot of confidence in his assessment and feel much more hopeful about my condition.
Thank you for shaking my hand when you introduced yourself, that was a very human thing to do. My experience with Drs. and practitioners is they sit down and start typing on their computer... and occasionally look up. Thank you for being such a pleasant and professional provider!
Exceptional visit, was very explanatory with my situation. Gave me options and let me choose my personal option.
Dr. Iannotti explained the procedure with confidence.
