Always very professional and kind.
Informative, asks good questions, and answers my questions.
Caring knowledgeable friendly
Very happy with Dr Giordano I will recommend him to all of my friends and the staff is outstanding as well. So glad I switched over from my previous Dr.
Dr. Giordano is one of the best doctors I've had a deal with. In fact, all doctors that I've seen at Ridgewood orthopedics are great. He took his time did not rush me with a quick exam. Explained everything that was going on with my knee and gave me different options to treatment. I would recommend him to anyone.
A very patient and knowledgeable Doctor. A great visit. Thanks!
Great doctor. You’ll be in good hands.

Dr. Giordano was terrific! He took his time and explained everything to me before during and after my surgery and I’m very grateful and thankful for everything he did for me! He’s the best!
