Iām very happy with my TKR and doing well almost 4 months PO.
Quick but thorough. Nice staff. Pleasant demeanor.
Great Dr but had to wait 1 1/2 hours plus to see him.
PA Gianna was very pleasant and very attentive thank you for everything. I really appreciate it. Five stars for Gianna also
I got Dr. Costanzo for a revision of my right hip kept coming out from my previous hip surgeon who left the practice that I had him when he replaced both of my hip. He called Dr. Costanzo & asked him to do the revision right hip surgery for me. I am so happy that he agreed to do it for me. It has not came out since he did the revision right hip surgery. I really like Dr. Costanzo. He explains things to you in my words that I would understand & he is such a nice doctor. I will be having Dr. Costanzo, when the time comes, to replace my knees. I'm not going to New Jersey, where my previous hip & knee surgeon went. He is very personable & all of his staff are great.
Great bedside manor listen to your concern. Give you a great understanding of your visit.
Couldn't find anything wrong with my knee, but I was definitely in pain. Dr. C suggested a Cortisone shot. It seems to be working. I just have to get the swelling to decrease. Good call on the Cortisone shot!
Had my first appointment with Dr. costanzo and it went very well. He was very punctual easy to talk to came up with a solution to my problem while there my wife also came with me and she was having some problems they were able to fit her in on the same visit, did an examination took x-rays and was able to give her an injection to get relief from knee pain.
Seems very knowledgeable and he is very down to earth. His staff are friendly and very helpful
Dr decided with out asking that I would get my cortisone shots in both hips at on e. The second doctor or nurse practitioner did not introduce herself. Nor did the doctor introduce her. Doctor was aware that at my last visit I found the shot extremely painful. Why would you do it this way without advising or asking if I was ok with this being done. Also the hip pain contued through the fo)owing week. Ugh.
