Dr. Romano always answers all of my questions and explains my progress for the recovery of my broken leg. I appreciate his compassionate care.

My comments are that no one wants to listen or even care to listen on what I say say to them. No one in the past year after I had a bad fall landing on my left side and more on my shoulder and have been in bad pain in it down to my elbow and no doctor I have seen so far have all been the same and I have gotten no real help.All they care about is to keep on repeating x-rays and not listening what I'm saying.

Dr did not seem interested or concerned with my questions about my ongoing difficulties. Felt as if I was taking up his time and I had to initiate questions and discussion, then told to come back in six months. For what? Pass and will seek another doctor elsewhere.

Dr. Romano is informative but yet has a pleasant bedside manner.

He saw me because of workers comp case. My last visit I told him how bad I feel, because I’m in pain and I’m unable to bend, seat or stay stand for more than 30 minutes due to my discs problem. So he told me to go run, do weights at the gym, get a lawn mower and do my yard because he can’t do anything for me if I can get an injection in my spine. Is unbelievable how doctore treat and take care of patients. Is more important to please workers comp than treat with respect and professionalism. I will like to know if was a racism or if I can’t get injections and leave an extra money to the practice was convinced to send me to work without restriction when I even can’t walk. For this practice patients are the least important and respected from their doctors. I will get answers to this matter.
