I had shoulder replacement best and easiest surgery ever! !
Excellent surgeon and staff!
My total knee replacement surgery seven weeks ago was amazing. I was off pain meds in 4 days and healed quickly with no complications. This particular visit was to schedule my second knee replacement surgery. I am so pleased with Hughston Clinic, Hospital, physical therapy, and Dr. Fernicola. I know I am in very good hands!
Best doctor ever!! Doesn’t rush.. explains everything throughly.. I could not ask for better!!!
Super amazing Doctor
Excellent bedside manner.
The best!!
This physician is an example of the old guard patriarchy attitudes where doctors expect for patients to be compliant without question. He took great offense to being asked for injections pulled up into syringes be marked with med name, dosage, etc. This is an accepted safety standard practice and he was so arrogant he threatened to not treat rather than have drawn medications in patient presence. His arrogant, condescending behavior is the mentality that serves errors. If you are OK handing your body over to someone without question and just pray that no errors will occur, he might be a good fit for you. If you prefer to have a healthcare partner and an organization that adopts all modern safety protocols, I would suggest you go to someone else.
Took time to explain process and answer questions
Very pleased with my visit.
