The reviews listed below were collected independently of All Florida Orthopaedic Associates through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
Their scheduling department is beyond inept. I did NOT have an appointment with Dr. Pagano ...I was meeting with another person for a mere follow-up. However, this was not only NOT caught by Dr. Pagano's staff, but I was shuffled in to the X-ray room for four unnecessary x-rays. Now I'm running an hour and 25 minutes late from my appt time. Another PA for Dr. Pagano came in, and when I basically asked what the h*ll was going on, the PA unraveled this total SNAFU in my appointment. After an hour and 45 min I had my actual appt with my proper PA. The PA explained the corporate decision that created the issue, and made sure I was not charged for the unnecessary X-rays.
While I never had ANY meeting with Dr. Pagano personally, I was asked to review my experience. Instead of a quick 10 minute follow up, I wasted just under two hours due to the total internal scheduling screwup. Thankfully...I enjoy working with my correct PA, and the other doctor I've trusted with my medical situation.

This is one if not the best surgeons you can find. If you ever need an orthopedic surgeon this is the man you want.
