Kind and very knowledgeable

He gave me my life back
EXCEPTIONAL DOCTOR. Spent time with me explaining everything on my X-ray and MRI and neurological reports. Dr Pagano did a previous surgery on me a few years ago and did an EXCELLENT job that had me fully functional and able to keep working. I LOVE THIS GUY
Outstanding surgeon. He is the one you want working on you when you need the best.
Dr.Pagano is useful and enjoyable person. Your staff did not inform me that you had moved so I went to the wrong location. The posters on the doors said you would be moving ten days from now. The man checking in behind me had the same experience as I had. Kind of sketchy.,,, K
Super informative and answered all my questions.
