Dr Alfonzo

Very little follow-up info. What's next? What happens if this treatment doesn't work? What other options are there? Seemed in a rush to leave.

Ultimate professional, thorough, understandable and explicit.

Not driven to “cut” if there are other options. Can’t hate that!!!

Very informative and great with the patients concerns and kindness. Absolutely an awesome surgeon.

Excellent surgeon and congenital person

Here’s a question: If during surgery a nerve is accidentally cut can it be repaired? I watch Veterinarians shows and have seen Tilapia fish skin used to treat burns. How about healing severed nerves? Enquiring minds, etc. Thanks for accepting me as one of your patients. Bob.

It only is he a brilliant surgeon but he is kind and considerate. Always ready to listen and advise. I can’t recommend him enough.

Jesse is patient with my many question. Explains his plan clearly. Highly recommend

Dr. Affonso is an extraordinary shoulder surgeon with an unwavering commitment to patient care. He is detailed oriented, and is personally involved in the care of his patients before, during and after their surgical procedures. He has an empathetic and compassionate approach with his patients. By taking the time to understand their concerns, he instills confidence and reassurance as they prepare for their surgical intervention. He is easy to talk with and works collaboratively with his patient’s post-surgical rehabilitative care. I would highly recommend Dr. Affonso to family and friends and would readily return to his care if I ever have further difficulties with shoulder care.

I've been coming to Cape Cod orthopedics for broken bones almost every year since 2015. This has been the one and only time I have ever seen a doctor. I started years ago with Dr Kincaid and never saw him ever.

Always on time. Shoulder replacement was done expertly and I’ve had no problems since the surgery 3 years ago.

Professional !!!

I would recommend him to everyone

Excellent communication.

Super Doc ! Gave me great options and an injection to knock down pain !

Listens and understands patient issues. Made me feel comfortable about my surgery. The outcome of my surgery was excellent and my shoulder feels like new.

My surgery went amazingly well! I never needed more than two Tylenol after the block wore off. One week out and I am taking the occasional Tylenol. A dull ache is no more of an inconvenience than the sling.

Dr. Affonso is patient and takes the time to answer questions. I never feel rushed with him. He uses terms you can understood. I have confidence in his surgical ability. He apologized for keeping me waiting, although this has never happened before.

Very satisfied with Dr. Affonso and my care pre and post surgery.

Great job with my reverse shoulder replacement, looking forward to a pain free future.

Super guy, great interaction

He was excellent !

Great doctor, very informative!

Awesome, he squeezed me in

He was recommended by someone I know who works at Cape Cod Hospital. The first doctor I went to said I needed shoulder replacement. Dr Affonso, after assessing my shoulder, he was honest about what reverse shoulder replacement versus my current ability to move my shoulder would be like. Let me make decision. If/when the time comes, he will be the doctor I choose.

He is a great, very knowledgeable doctor who makes sure the patient understands everything, and even let's us ask questions. We are lucky to have him on the Cape!

Not rushed, up front answering questions. Covered possible options after I have MRI. Very comfortable with options discussed.

Dr. Affonso is a wonderful orthopedic surgeon. He has a caring bed-side manner, answers patient's concerns but is not pushy about having surgery. My shoulder replacement was so successful I would highly recommend him to anyone contemplating it.

Awesome manner and skill. Superbly run team and practice.

Very helpful. Works with you. I have already recommended him to all with shoulder issues
