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.
Dr Giordano was knowledgeable, caring and clearly interested in creating an appropriate care plan for me.
Solid experience with Ridgewood Ortho. Dr. Giordano is an excellent surgeon. He was reassuring, confident in his approach & execution, and communicated well by asking and listening without fault.
Great bedside manner from the first visit all the way through. Dr Giordano listens to your concerns and figures out the best solution with you. Best doc around.
Dr Giordano is kind and listens and explains all to me!! He is great!!!.
