Very professional
Always puts your best interest first.
Dr, Giordano is a great doctor. He really cares!
Very nice person
Dr. has a very good bedside manner and explains everything to you so you can understand. Gives you the good and bad information upfront.
Dr Giordano takes his time to explain everything, Thank you for being so attentive and compassionate
Fantastic! Very understanding, friendly, focused on the achieving a great outcome. I won’t go anywhere else.
Very calming and great bedside manner in addition to being confident about diagnosis and eventual surgery.
He totally blew me off with my symptoms. Tells me I have an issue with muscle in my leg and despite the fact that I advised that I had a fall in June and symptoms started then gives me an unspecified script for PT. Would have been appropriate to at least attempt to see if there is any test or damage to my muscle. Going for a second opinion. Not at all what I would expect from this practice
Great listener. Explains everything in detail.
