The reviews listed below were collected independently of South Hills Orthopaedic Surgery Associates, P.C. through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
This doctor is rude and the appointment was a waste of time. I waited weeks for this appointment following a referral from my primary care physician and was left extremely disappointed. He did not explain my X-ray results and did no physical exam on me - he spent the 15 minutes with him leaning against the exam room table asking me what questions I had. Dr Petrolla uses a dismissive tone and gave me advice saying I could take it or leave it. He also recommended over the counter supplements and told me to ask my brother who is a personal trainer which I should take. He told me to go to PT but gave no recommendation as to who I should see and I received no follow up paperwork. I will be seeking treatment and advice from somewhere else.

A great doctor. Always takes time to listen to the patient. Treats patient before diagnosis. More doctors should relate to patients this way.

some input to relieve my almost debilitating pain.
