Valentin Antoci, MD

Listens and provides great advice!

Best results anywhere and he proved it to me!!!

Dr. Antoci was very thorough and explained why I had issues with my knee replacement from another doctor.

Dr. Antoci did a great job on my knee replacement. He and his PA were very positive in their comments at my post-op appt.

Excellent!!

Saw Dr Antoci for the first time and was very happy. He explained my results and options very well.I will definitely recommend him to friends and family.

Awesome physician. Did a great job with my hip replacement. I definitely would recommend him and UNIVERSITY ORTHOPEDICS

I arrived at 2:40 and was not seen until just before 4pm - Dr Antoci was great but waiting that long for a five minute visit is unacceptable

Dr. Antoci replaced my hip about three months ago. Everything went smoothly, and now I can walk without limping along. I had a great deal of hip pain before surgery, but now I have no hip pain. Dr. Antoci answered all my questions before surgery. I had a fair amount of them. He answered patiently and thoroughly. It is amazing to me that in this short amount of time, I feel so much better and can get up from a chair without pin, walk around much more than before, and I believe that I have begun my way to an improved quality of life. If you are having hip surgery and Dr. Antoci is your surgeon, you are in excellent hands.

Dr Antoci did an excellent job with my knee replacement and has been very helpful during the post surgery meetings.

Dr Antoci is a good listener, doesn’t push surgery before exhausting other treatment alternatives and I would recommend him. However, bring a book because he’s usually behind schedule 😁

Excellent doc ,

Outstanding physician

Dr Antoci has helped me and my brother. He is a top doctor for knee surgery and he is helping me to avoid surgery. His common sense approach is what I relate to. I've been able to avoid surgery and medication with PT and motion excersize as part of my weekly routine.

Dr Antoci is so thorough and easy to talk to. I felt at ease and my concerns were addressed

Always a pleasure to see Dr. Antochi. Thankfully I have not required his surgical services yet .. he always explains things clearly. If I do require a hip replacement in the future I would choose him as my surgeon.

Perfectly satisfied with my visit on Sept. 9th.

Excellent as always

Dr. A to I was 90 minutes late for my appointment and spent about 6 minutes with me.

everything went great, very happy with the whole process

I would highly recommend Dr. Antoci.

Great visit with Dr Antoci even though he was very busy.

I couldn’t have asked for a better physician . He does his job with a lot of compassion .

Answers all questions. Very personable

Very happy with the knee replacement surgery he performed on me. The whole process was relatively pain free and run like a finely tuned machine. Now a year after the surgery I am pain free and enjoying working out, riding my bike and hiking again!

Great doctor. Explained a lot of things to me.

Dr. Antoci cured me! I was miserable with a bad hip and it was hard to do so many things. With my new hip I can walk with no pain and I feel great. He has been kind, compassionate, and so competent!

Great visit

Very polite, explains your condition and what to do to help your condition.

Very good experience, profesional and nice

Kind, courteous and great surgeon!!

Excellent work on me knee.

Dr. Antoci was prompt, courteous and thorough. He diagnosed and explained the diagnosis clearly in easy to understand terms. He provided a care plan and follow up, without ordering additional tests, taking into consideration the cost of tests that may not be necessary. A+

So understanding and listens that's important to me very informative

I liked him. He was personable and professional. Got right to the point and was clear, concise, and efficient .

Dr Antoci is the simply the best. He is extremely caring and empathetic. He listens carefully and encourages dialogue. His calm manner puts me at ease. I cannot say enough great things about him!

I am so happy with the care Dr. Antoci has given me. He is kind and takes his time to explain things and answer my questions. I have given his name to many people with orthopedic issues.

Lovely man. Very comprehensive. Did an excellent job communicating to us the diagnosis. Very pleasant!

Respectful, as is the whole staff

An excellent experience. Thank you.

I would have given a 5star rating if there was contact about the procedure after the surgery.

Listens to his patients and takes the time to answer questions.

Answers all questions.listens to patient

Very explicit as to problem and took time to answer all my questions

Happy he gave me a plan forward with my situation.

Introduced himself and shook my hand. Most Drs barely say "hello". Very knowledgeable, gave me plenty of information in order for me to make my decision on what to do next. I really appreciated his honesty.

The doctor presented several options for knee pain. He had found out how many times I’d been to see doctors about my knees. He noted how much movement was compromised. He listened and responded to my questions.

I really appreciate that, unlike other docs, Dr. Antoci didn't immediately push me towards surgery. I also appreciated his suggestion about a pain killer.

caring is the word i use to decribe this man

Dr Antoci gave me a very good option to doing surgery in the near future.

1 1/2 hour waiting time. That is the only complaint. The visit with Dr. Antoci went smoothly.

Discussed my X-rays and answered all my questions.

I had an appointment to go there I was there at 9:00 that was the appointment no one had any record of me or knew who I was it's aggravating as hell and then they want you to keep up with your appointments thank you

I love Dr Antochi. He is personable and takes the time to listen. He makes you feel valued as a patient.

Already like Dr. Antoci.

Friendly and thorough

I love the doctor but the wait is always at least 35 mins.

Best doctor ever!!

Great doctor some day he will do my knee

Excellent doctor, and person!

By far. one of the best clinicians at U O. Patient oriented and clinically "on the ball". Your best answer to the increasing competition from Ortho RI.

My favorite orthopedic DR

I would recommend him to anybody.

The best

Very happy with seeing Dr. Antoci for first time!

He listens to your concerns

Very pleasant but 45 minutes behind schedule.

I have been going to Dr Antoci for 6 years. During that time he has always explained everything clearly and answered my questions patiently . Besides being an excellent surgeon , he is also very kind and empathetic.

Dr. Antoci is a caring doctor. He has always taken the time to talk to me, explain things to me, give me truthful information and not speak down to me like a lot of doctors like to do.

Dr. Antoci is a competent, caring and knowledgeable surgeon who puts his patients first at all times.

He's a great doctor. Very personable and compassionate.

First appointment with him. I think he is a Dr. that will feel comfortable with and that I can trust him

He’s the BEST!!! he cares about his patience. He’s an excellent doctor. He’s kind straightforward to the point. He’s not a doctor that’s going to leave you sitting in the waiting room for an hour and a half. He’ll get you in and out of there. He knows that your time isn’t just as important as his. He’s a wonderful doctor. Wonderful guy.

Finishing up my second hip replacement in 6 months- no one better than Dr. Antoci!

Extremely knowledgeable and caring all the way in the process of Dad's care. We are very appreciative of all his work.

Great doctor. Great organization.

Tops, takes time to talk and listen. Really tops

Really appreciate Dr. Antoci and his staff for the work they did on my knee. Everyone was top notch.

Always the best!! Dr. Antoci is the best !!

Dr. Antoci spent the time to answer all of my questions.

What can I say, 65 years old with hip injury as a result of a fall, I felt my career/livelihood were over. Dr. Antoci and his expertise turned it all around. I am a new man with a new lease on life. If you are contemplating a total hip replacement like me, please don't hesitate. I was 240lbs at time of surgery, previous heart issues on record. I went in for surgery at Fatima for 8:30 am ( Great Hospital and staff. Very sterile environment ) was home by 3:00pm same day. Did not need the prescribed oxycodone ( Gave all 20 back to the pharmacy ). Minimal pain, small four inch scar can't really see it. Dr. Antoci, Chloe Conrad, PA and the team at University Orthopedics are the definition of true professionals. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. GOD BLESS Anthony Falco

Pleasant, informative and explained everything clearly.

Knowledgeable, easy to talk to, answered all my questions.

Listens to concerns/questions and is very generous with his valuable time.

I think Dr Antochi is the Orthopedic Surgeon I would ever go to!

Long wait for 5 mins disussion

Dr Antoci did both of my hips and repositioned my muscles where they belong in both hips to ensure that I could return back to a full enjoyable life. I highly recommend him for hips and knees.

Always respectful, thorough, and clear.

He was very informative and told the truth

Took the time to explain my situation- and I appreciate that!

Dr. Antoci is the best!

Dr Antoci is very kind & caring towards his patients in addition to being a excellent doctor.

Dr. Valentin was very professional, and my surgery was successful. C

So far so good.

Listens to concerns. Explains the surgery he will be performing. Great surgeon.

Option. For surgery

Never met. Kept waiting in room for hour. Appt for 6:30; I left at 7:30.

Dr. Antoci is Magical, he explained the surgery to me and it was exactly what he said it would be. I’m grateful for his help he gave me.

He Listened, He spoke! He considered my spine, knees and hips! Wow. I left there with my anxiety way reduced, knowing I had my found my surgeon. THANK YOU !

After having problems with my first knee, (Infection) and needing the other done, he seemed to be very rude stating he comes from a 3rd world country and they don't get this surgery You take your cane and rocking chair and sit on the porch! We pay a lot of money for healthcare insurance to get the same as a 3rd world country! Finally he says if i can get someone else to operate on my knee then he will do it?

I did not feel rushed during my appointment and he answered all of my questions.

Efficient, pleasant but concentrated on problem. Beautiful work on a very complex knee. Excellent staff in office and in surgery.

My guys the best he’s straight to the point and it makes you feel comfortable. He knows what he’s talking about. I can’t wait to get the surgery done and move on with my life and comfort. Thank you boss.

Dr. Antoci always explains the medical problem clearly, precisely, and in a way that I understand.

I am healing quickly, due in large D. Antoci’s experience and efficient work. He is also kind and reached post op to my husband and.

great Doctor

My hip replacement was the result of an accident, unplanned, at an inconvenient time, and Dr. Antoci happened to be available. I lucked out! After six years, all works as well as the original equipment.

Answered my questions. Understanding.

Dr A is a great guy, friendly knowledgeable and caring. He takes his time and doesn't rush you out the door.

Doctor Val Antoci was extremely helpful with my knee dislocation. He carefully went over all my imaging and explained in detail why my injury occurred. Prior to seeing Dr. Antoci I had two other orthopedic doctors look at my imaging. They all immediately suggested knee cap replacement with a year recovery and my life never being the same again. Instead of easily taking advantage of the situation Dr. Val advised on a rigorous rehab and recovery plan that I took seriously to this day. Fast forward, I feel like my old self and back ti my every day physical activities. I truly can’t thank him and his staff enough. A++

Excellent awesome doctor!! He takes the time to listen carefully to what you say and address everything you say. He is thorough and detailed when explaining anything! Plus a wonderful open friendly personality!

Calm, knowledgeable, personable. I felt informed and equipped with very useful information after meeting with him.

He’s caring and I believe a good surgeon. Was not pleased I had to wait 45 minutes from appointment time for him to come into the examination room. Would have been nice if he apologized. My time is valuable too.

He was almost an hour late not a biggee. I am retired and can wait. Yet I want him to spend all the time he needs to with his patients.

I enjoy Dr. Antochi. His disagnos is clear and easy to understand. I really appreciate that he talks to us in terms we understand. :)

There were 3 people in the examining room along with the doctor & only the 4th year resident was introduced. I don't believe that is appropriate protocol. The woman typing notes into the computer should have been introduced as well as the young man who was the last one to leave the room. I asked him who he was & he said he was a high school senior shadowing the dr. since he was considering medicine as a career. I should have been asked if I was OK with having him in the room (I would have agreed) but I was never asked & I think that is improper medical protocol & I am shocked that this occurred.

Excellent surgeon, demeanor, and explanations of all that was to be done and what was to be expected after hip replacement.

Excellent

Dr Antochi is the most caring doctor I know.

Very reasonable and conservative prognosis

Confident, competent, incredibly skilled, a superb surgeon with great communications.

Great doctor Antocci he is at the top of his game. And he is very thorough and has the patient best interest.

Dr. Antoci, and his team are very professional. Took the time to listen, and answer any questions. I received great care from my visit from Bursitis in my leg. Everyone involved w/ my care that day was very helpful. Received that Cortisone shot for much needed RELIEF from ongoing pain! Thank you!!!!!

Dr. Antoci is an outstanding orthopedic surgeon. He has replaced both of my knees, and since then, I have had NO pain and regained more than 80-90% use. He does surgery perfect the first time.

My total hip replacement surgery was a success! I can walk again! Dr. Antoci listens, makes certain you understand the specifics on your condition and best options. I am now making an appointment for him to do my knee surgery. He's a skilled wonderful surgeon.

I am 2 weeks out from a full knee replacement by Dr. Antoci. It has been a long journey for several different reasons. My care right from my very first visit with him has been exceptional. He is very professional but balances that with kindness

Very kind!

I wish Dr Antoci would really listen whole heartedly not just hear words from another pt. When for example I try to tell him what is bothering me still as well as what's better. Example my knee was beginning to swell again after 4 months injection. At 1st Dr said no its not then I gave him and my knee a look then he said yes a little. So when he did the injection of ? hyalin cartilage he found a good amount of fluid in joint and then proceeded to tell me that he would order medrol pack incase the injection and fluid got uncomfortable. So ultimately my knee was swollen like I had tried to tell him. When I 1st started seeing Dr Antoci he was listening more. I am hoping this is not our new medical model.

Fantastic brilliant Dr. Great guy. Eliminated 30 years of pain!

Dr Antoci continues to make me feel very relaxed while I await my right hip surgery! He explains everything in detail, which is what makes him so wonderful! I am blessed to have him as my surgeon!

Dr.Antoci was very positive and confident about my upcoming surgery. I am looking forward to the results. Thank You Dr.Antoci.

Dr. Antoci was totally focused on me and my health. He was kind, caring and was committed to helping me with a conservative plan.

Very practical...cuts to the chase!

Excellent doctor; gave me good advice; very personable and a good listener. Dr. Antoci answered all questions.

Dr. Antoci listens but doesn’t beat around the bush in his replies.

Very friendly and professional. Listened to me. Did not rush through the appointment.

Very warm in his manner explaining upcoming surgery. Patient with questions.

Dr. Antoci is professional, informative, and a great surgeon.

Think he's a great man very kind hearted just hope to God they can pinpoint what's going on... just to get some relief and move forward... the rest of the floor staff and greeting committee are "A" number 1.

Dr.. Antoci is approachable, informative, and straightforward. He is excellent clinically, as well as personally. He always introduces his student, and looks you in the eye when discussing your situation.

I’d recommend this guy to anyone who asks ….

I was never able to see him for my 6 week fu visit.. I waited over an hour & then saw the PA. Dr.Antoci did a wonderful surgery procedure, but have yet to see him, which is disappointing

Was very pleased with my visit. Do like the doctor, just know I will be in good hands

I like Dr. Antoci. Somehow he manages to be a good listener and thoughtful physician even with a waiting room full of people. I hope I never need another surgery but if I do, I would feel comfortable with Dr. Antoci.

Very friendly and genuinely concerned with my issue

I am placing my care with a caring, gifted, talented, intelligent surgeon.

Saw Chloe today.

His nurses x-rayed me, changed my incision bandage and showed me the x-ray and then told me that I could leave. I was DISAPPOINTED that the doctor never saw me or spoke to me!

Very kind,I felt at ease talking to him!!!

He fixed me and took away much pain

Dr. Antoci is very personable, listens to his patients & explains everything. He has a wonderful personality and makes his patient feel comfortable & addresses any and all of their concerns. I feel very fortunate to have him for my doctor.

I suffered with hip pain. I saw several doctors from 2 different medical groups and no help. I saw Dr.Antoci once and his procedure worked. I am pain free for the 1st time in over ten years!

Everything went well. From Victoria checking me in to Emily in recovery, They were great. I can’t forget to mention Shelby from PT who help me walk my first steps on my new knee. I believe everyone in the OR was great also, I just don’t remember anything. But I guess that’s good

Very efficient and great bedside manner. I really appreciated Dr Antoci 's quick return call when I had a minor issue.

Great first visit. Very knowledgeable and great caring person.

Doctor Antoci repaired my hip and allowed me to do many of the things I did before my accident. He did an amazing job. Thank you!!

Personable and listens- doctor patient interface is 5 star. Brilliant surgeon!

the best ,he kind, and a good experience

Dr Antoci is an excellent listener who took the time to answer all my questions. I found him very personable and easy to talk to.

Lacked bedside manners, had two individuals with him & didnt introduce them nor ask if i minded if they remained in the exam room, his disposition was harsh, used the word crap at least twice during the visit, barely did an exam, wasn't really interested in my concerns, didn't even offer or try to address my pain or discomfort during the appointment, at the end of the appointment reached out to shake my hand with a seemingly smirk on his face. Not impressed at all and not sure if ill return in part if that's the kind of treatment I'm going to receive. I took time out of work, paid a Copay and left without any resolution or real plan for my care. The appointment was so short that 11 minutes after my scheduled time I was already on the highway heading home.

He listened to me and got the job done. I am so happy!!

The doctor listen to everything I had to say. Thank you.

He is the best doctor ever he is very polite to all his patients.

Very helpful, I feel I received very good care and advice.

My experience with University Orthopedics thus far has been excellent including Dr Antoci, Dr Hulstyn for his referral and all supporting staff (Anna, Dina, Gabriella, Vanessa along with all the very helpful receptionist). The PT post surgical support and nurses were also first class. Thanks for making this knee replacement surgery as pleasant as possible.

I think he's a great orthopedic doctor

Always takes the time to make sure my concerns and questions are answered.

Very professional.

Dr Antoci was very helpful to me in understanding how my osteoarthritis has progressed. He suggested that I am a candidate for knee joint replacement when I am ready to consider it. He is very approachable, did not rush, and answered my questions. This visit was very helpful to me.

Friendly, knowledgeable and understanding.

Always takes time to answer questions, and to ask what has changed since my last visit

DR. ANTOCI is, as always, a top surgeon and more importantly, a compassionate human being. The administration of UNIVERSITY ORTHOPEDICS, however. Gets a LOW & UNSATISFACTORY rating for my having patients like me wait 3 HOURS in the waiting room Tobe seen!..even tho I had an appointment!

Nice Dr…but quick spoken. However,,, my appointment was 1:45 and I didn’t see him until 3:15 !

Loved Dr. Antoci, just had to wait 45 minutes to see him.

Friendly, sense of humor, knowledgeable & professional. Went over options, & workout recommendations. I’ve had other orthopedic surgery here at your facility, the care & staff are top notch. It’s well worth the hours drive, & I live near 3 hospitals in Worcester area! When it comes time for a knee replacement. Dr. Antoci will be my choice.

Answered all questions clearly, explained and demonstrated surgery procedures with care.

Very skilled, excellent surgeon!!

He explained everything in terms I could understand. My knee needed emergency surgery. He added me to his surgery schedule the next day. For that I will be forever grateful

The very best doctor! I recommend him to all my clients and friends!!!

Excellent explanation and suggestions

This is my 3rd surgery with Dr Antoci and my recovery is going very well. I would recommend Dr Antoci to anyone.

Excellent care; extremely knowledgeable on latest techniques.

Hi

I didn't actually see Dr Antoci. I saw his physician assistant. She was most helpful and professional

I’ve never felt more comfortable,

Very personable and kind

The young lady that treated me was the best you could possibly get!

listens well-has practical suggestions to be of help-certainly does not rush to discuss surgery

Seemed ver nice and certainly knowledgeable!

I like Dr Antoci a lot, we understood each other definitely will be seeing him again

Happy with my consultation. Provided good evidence based support for his recommendations and decision making.

I valued his expertise and honesty about my condition and the procedure.

Excellent follow up and eval with Dr. Antoci! Thank you ; )

Very personable and considerate doctor.

Great surgeon had my hip done 2020havent had any issues having my right knee May30 hopefully that’s as smooth as my hip plus the dude is Dancing with the Doctor’s Champ and he climbs Mountains to kill time good man 😎Rick M

Very personable and approachable

Literally changed my life with both hip replacements

Dr Antochi discussed my options regarding my knee pain. We agreed on a shot which might relieve pain for a few months. No promises. He was honest, & realistic regarding my knee issue. He didn’t sugar coat anything which I appreciate. I want honesty in regards to my own health options. He is honest.

Great Doctor!

He had good news for me and thus did not seem interested in listening to my situation which I have been living with in pain for 2 years. He told me 3 exercises to do and was very ready to get to his next patient. He had 2 colleagues with him but did not introduce either of them, maybe spent 10 minutes with me, but after waiting over an hour I was expecting a little more individualized attention. As he walked out the door I asked about side effects of the meds he prescribed and one was elevated blood pressure. I just started taking BP meds 2 months ago so I didn’t have a chance to ask more as he was literally out the door. He seems knowledgeable and kind but after spending more than an hour waiting I thought I’d get a little more individualized attention.

Very helpful. Thank you.

Excellent

We were very pleased with the first visit to Dr. Antoci! Looking forward to having him with me for this journey.

Great counseling. Took time to explain options and concerns

Couldn’t get a better doctor very happy with the results

Dr. Antoci is a wonderful and brilliant doctor in his field, the one problem is he is very quick with your visit. A scheduled 15-20 visit, that my BCBS is paying for, ends of being approx., 8 min, Never should a doctor make a patient field rushed, They should also explain in detail what is going on and what is recommended to do.

I was glad I had the chance to talk to him first hand

Excellent,! The best!

I waited an hour and twenty minutes to see this doctor. No one came to the room at any point after I was checked in by the attendant to give me any idea on when I would be seen. When the doctor came in the room he asked me how I was doing and I said “not good I have been waiting an hour and twenty minutes. I proceeded to say that I hoped his operations went more smoothly than his office visits. At that point he said “I don’t have to operate on you”. At that point I agreed and left the office. I told him he could keep his co-pay.

Dr. Antoci is an amazing doctor. He’s very thorough and caring. I have recommended Dr Antoci to quite a few people for hip replacement and knee surgeries. He is the best of the best!!

Wonderful experience with Dr. Antoni as always

THANK YOU

Outstanding.

Extremely professional and explained my situation very satisfactory and able to understand. Also answered my questions with clarity

Dr. Antoci listens and provides good, therapeutic advice. Am happy he was the physician to coach me through this MCL sprain. Thank you.

Doctor Antoci did a terrific job on my hip after I had been limping around for a year. I feel like a new person. Thank you Doc!!!

Awesome experience with Dr Antoci and the entire team that cared for me.

He himself personally seems like a nice man... just curious as to how the injection shots will work next... if at all.. Sadly the steroid pills didn't do much at all.... but hopefully something will give me relief soon.... HOPE...🙏

Very personable and caring. Very knowledgeable as well. Formed a care plan that I started following right away and already see improvement in pain reduction and irange of motion.

Incredible surgeon. Great staff and all are professional and efficient. Look forward to my upcoming hip surgery. Completed hip and then knee replacement for my husband and reserve amazing.

The doctor explained and told me what to expect after surgery. Risks and benefits.

He is a very good surgeon.

Was very honest about my diagnosis, and let me know about options for treatments

Excellent surgeon with a superb staff and assistants. Efficient, addressed underlying issues, confident, thorough

Top notch surgeon. He is caring , compassionate and easy to talk . As a surgeon he is the best , he did a total knee replacement on me , my results in 2 weeks were exceptional , range of motion and strength was amazing with minimal discomfort. Highly recommend him! Thank you !!!

Dr Antoci is amazing, he cares for each and every patient and takes time to listen.

Dr. Antoci’s PA..Chloe is excellent!

He's very good and through

Dr Chloe Conrad was awesome!!

Very professional and forthcoming.

Very long wait to see the doctor. I had a 5:15 appointment and didn’t see him Until after 6:15

Very good surgeon. Very patient.

The appointment felt very rushed. I felt like I was on a timer. This may not be his fault since the insurance companies seem to set the clock now. It’s not a good system. Patients don’t feel heard.

Very kind and excellent bed side manner👍👍

Excellent doctor, excellent care excellent atmosphere.

Explained everything carefully and answered my questions thoughtfully. Made me feel important even if he’s talked about these things hundreds of times.

Excellent, caring doctor.

Very professional, explained everything clearly.

Dr Antoci is a wonderful doctor I am so blessed to have chosen him to be part of my health care team.

Great appointment quick and got all my questions answered

Dr. Antoci was always extremely professional and understanding in his delivery of my conditions and concerns. He took the time needed to listens to my feelings and demonstrated empathy for my problems. I had and have total confidence and Dr. Antoci’s professionalism and respect his opinion on my conditions. I would definitely recommend Dr. Antoci to any individual experiencing knee or hip problems.

Dr. Antoci was the most thorough and detailed Orthopedic Dr. I have ever spoken with. Very patient centered.

Excellent Orthopedic Surgeon. Would highly recommend him!

First time meeting him and he made me feel very comfortable and that he actually listened and cared.

Not really enough data points, yet.

Excellent, and has a excellent staff, as well.

Excellent

Dr. Antoci ....I can't express the gratitude I have for him helping me with my new hip replacement. He is the best there is!

He was excellent.

Very kind and personable, answers all questions. I would recommend to all.

Professional. Excellent patient care.

I've seen this doctor before who is sure that my hip pain is not indicative of hip dysfunction. It "pops out frquently and my knee is painful. I got the brush off from this visit and was surprised that he was so abrupt. I' disappointed.

I had questions but he was in and out to fast.

Best Otho Dr I've ever had!

Excellent experience from patient intake , to operation, to followup

Very warm and personable, especially for a surgeon! Very thorough and professional. Very happy with the visit.

I appreciated his honesty. He was up front about my options for a knee

Very helpful explaining my condition

Very kind and takes time to explain everything.

This was my second visit with Dr Antoci. For me trust is very important to me . I trust this Dr. He is honest and deals with the facts, he doesn't sugar coat anything, yet he is very kind and considerate.

I leearned a lot during this visit to help myself

I was very impressed with Dr Antoci & his level of confidence & caring has made me feel more confident in my surgery choice

Dr. Antoci was exactly the kind of Doctor that I hoped for. He was great!

Awesome very happy!! thanks for your great care!!

Dr. Antoci is a highly intelligent and a gift to the medical field. He is compassionate, and excellent listener who does not rush patients. Exceptionally caring.

Had my post op 1 year visit today. Was experiencing post op hip pain as well as knee pain. After x-rays. Dr. Antoci came in the room to see me. He could have told me anything I I'd have bought it. But he told me my pain was just muscle related and gave me PT to address it. He cares about his patients and is a truly skilled surgeon and just a great doctor. I would recommend him to anyone, anytime !

Dr. Antoci was very polite and answered all of my questions. He was patient & explained everything to me.

Very friendly and caring

He listens and I feel like we are on the same page.

I like the fact that when the therapist that came to the home, said that other doctor's have there patience come back earlier, when asked, I said I go back later toward the end of the month, which makes it better for recovery. Because you are still trying to remember the exercises that you are suppose to work on, and really be cautious about your hip. And I think that is really caring about your patience, besides being thoughtful and kind.

How could he say my hip was ok from x-rays when they didn’t even take any x/rays this time

And he climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro!

Excellent patient skills and a wonderful reputation.

I love Dr Antoci's way of making you feel your in good hands but also the way he listens and makes me feel heard and seen.

Super kind and professional

Wonderful doctor

He patiently took the time to answer my questions about an up coming knee replacement

Always kind and professional, listens patiently to questions.

Took too long to see the doctor

From the first time till now I think Dr. Antoci is an excellent doctor. He listens to you and answers your questions and is very informative.

Very personable and answered all my questions.

Fantastic!

Rapid diagnosis and excellent candor!

I feel very comfortable when seeing Dr Antoci. He never seems rushed and listens to what I have to say.

Great doc! Thoughtful and smart!!

He is a great doctor! He answered all my questions before I even asked them!

Not vest most professional Dr I’ve ever had . Will be Dr orthopedist for life

Listened evaluated. Explained plan of care

Very judicious in his recommendation for surgery. It was recommended that I go through physical therapy to avoid surgery and it worked to restart the clock to where I was 5+ years ago. PT works when you put the time into it and Dr A+ Is very convincing.

He made me feel less anxious about the hip replacement surgery

Dr. Antoci is the BEST !!!!! He makes you feel important and that he actually cares about your health.

Dr Antoci is very attentive to my concerns and I never feel rushed. He explains things very clearly and offers different treatment options.

Very empathetic on first meeting.

very warm and friendly listened

Dr Antoci was very committed to my surgery which has significantly added to my successful recovery.

Exceptional Surgeon. Truly caring person.

Kind, compassionate and caring. This was my first appointment with him and he was extremely patient and listened to my concerns. Would highly recommend!

Great Doctor

Dr. Antoci is always very kind and takes the time to explain whatever you may have questions about. As someone with previous knee problems as well as rheumatoid arthritis, I was nervous about my knee replacement and the recovery. I would highly recommend Dr. Antoci to anyone considering surgery. Even three years post-knee replacement, he still took the time to treat my concerns with care and respect.

Professional, thorough and very encouraging!!

Dr Antoci is the absolute BEST !!!! So competent and caring

Thank you!

I would give a 10. Finally a doctor that listened. Only bad thing can't get surgery till March. If it hadn't been for 2 other doctors lack of care I would have been done with this. But now I have help. Thank GOD

Dr. Antoci explained to me what to expect after the surgery and the recovery time. MD was very professional.

Thank you Dr Antoci and staff

I have been seeing Dr Antoci for 4 1/2 years. I have complications from my knee replacement that left me with limited flexion. He has spent time looking for new ways that might help and took time to review everything with me. There isn’t anything that can be done right now but maybe in the future.

very good dialogue

Very thorough, attentive explains options makes sure the you ARE part of the plan. Plans for f/u status through use of portal to ensure that the plan continues to move forward in timely manner.

Always ontime and very concerned on getting you back to 100%

Outstanding

Very cool!

Excellent surgeon! Knee replacement 7 weeks ago and I am almost back to normal, without the pain.I highly recommend him

I sat in the room an hour waiting for him to look at X-rays

GREAT!!!! I recommend Dr Antoci to everyone I know. Trust him completely. Awesome personality. He surrounds himself with a professional and very attentive staff. They are all great to be taken care by.

Dr. Antoci was very responsive and helpful getting to my needs ASAP. I had an emergency situation and he worked to fit me in. He has great bedside manner and did a great job of explaining the procedure.

Kind, caring, excellent doctor with a fine bedside manner

Dr Antoci is a fantastic surgeon, he repaired my right hip. I am now able to golf, ride my bike,etc without any pain . Also, his whole staff has excellent customer service skills! I highly recommend University Orthorpedics

Able to be caring,kind and concise

Very willing to answer any questions

Amazing doctor who truly cares about his patients

He's an excellent doctor with great advise

Professional, explained the problems well

Dr Antoci was excellent, explain everything to me so I understood

Very thoughtful and helpful. Good information for my condition.

I only saw him for 5 minutes before knee surgery and not once in the hospital. He is overbooked and inaccessible.

DR. Antoci's encourage me to find other forms of cardiac exercise since I have stopped running due to knee pain and noted that keeping the knee in motion would be helpful. His approach aligns with my thinking and was very helpful.

Answers questions thoroughly, pleasant, excellent surgeon

A master of his craft!!! I felt in good hands at all times!!

Was very patient answering my questions and discussing my concerns

Helpful and knowledgeable.

Clearly explained what was causing my hip pain. Very friendly and kind.

Always a positive experience, takes the time to fully inform the patient.

patient listener Made me feel at ease and hopeful more so than any other specialists I have seen.

Very clear communications. I left him feeling I found the right Doctor

My first appointment, he set me at ease, described my circumstances based on x-rays and discussed options going forward. Based on family members great satisfaction I’m confident of excellent appropriate care.

I have the highest level of confidence in Dr. Antoci’s care. I have had a complicated, clinical history and he has been very responsive to my needs to pee did you pee? Oh good girl good girl yes you are very good girl but I haven’t peed yet.

He was very thorough and kind.

Always wonderful, professional care. Thank you, Dr. Antoci!

Very informative; like him very much

Very professional. Great results!!

I highly recommend Dr. Antoci, I received such a high level of care and he explained the procedure so fully and throughly. I highly recommend him to all Family and Friends.

Was treated to the most highest care, Dr. Valetin Antoci was very utmost best surgent ,after my surgery his team was most attentive caring to myself highly recommended at University of Orthopedics.

very professional and he explained everything to my satisfaction.

I am 81 yrs. old and at four weeks after surgery I am walking with the limit use of a cane. Dr. Antoci is truly a Miracle worker. I had little or no pain after surgery and my recovery has been pain free with minor soreness.

Very caring

Ausume

I found dr. Antoci to be very understanding and nice.

he is excellent

This was my initial visit to see Doctor Antoci. He took his time during our appointment, Answered my questions and explained what the x-rays were showing. Instead of jumping right to surgery he recommended some physical therapy first. The only downside was that my appointment was close to 45 minutes late in starting. I know sometimes that cannot be controlled.

Operation went well. About three months into recovery and have a green light on activities! No pain. A little stiffness but getting better. Rehab going very well. Visit was positive and encouraging

This was my first visit to Dr. Antoci. He took time to look at my imaging, educate me regarding my diagnosis, and look at options. He did a great job communicating the information and giving me possible solutions.

Very clear and answered all my questions.

I have two new hips thanks to Dr Antoci. Once again I can take care of my large yard and gardens, and take long hikes in the woods..pain free.

Dr. Antoci is terrific. He listens and provides good recommendations for recovery from injury. Feel lucky that he has taken the time to help me recover from a tough knee injury.

Valentine’s as smart as they come! Accurate, no nonsense, succinct and positive.

Very professional and personal

Awsome guy.very smart

Dr. Antoci is the best !!!!!

great job on my knee-great staff and doctor-and kettle point is great

Straightforward as to needs/disgnosis

I saw Dr Antoci after a slip and fall for my knee. I found him to be very professional, patient and friendly. He explained my diagnosis very clearly even drawing pictures and showing me on my X-rays . He tended to be more on the conversation side and feels the body likes to heal itself … in my case anyway … he’s not quick to jump into surgery if it’s not necessary. I like that . He recommended specific daily exercise ( biking , yoga) for my particular injury with an explanation why these specific ones would be good. I like that because it encourages me to do the exercises knowing how it is helping in my recovery along with physical therapy.

Competent physician who listens to his patients and spends time as needed with them.

Dr Antoci is a knowledgeable Dr who has a great manner and attention to details. Highly recommend.

Very professional yet very friendly. Answers all my questions. Highly recommend him.

Evaluation without examination

Excellent bedside manor! Caring and attentive, very pleased. Being from Massachusetts, but having Rhode Island Insurance I chose to have my procedure done in network. I made a great choice and my Orthopedic doctor in Mass told me I was in great hands. Yes I am. Thank you Dr. Antoci

Dr A is the absolute best surgeon He is brilliant, has a personality that allows him to connect with his patients

Absolutely wonderful doctor! Attentive to all your questions and concerns…. Very informative about my situation and an excellent listener.. completely puts you at ease. His staff is awesome too. Thank you Dr Antoci!

Wait to the point and very quick

Both the Dr. And the PA took the time to answer all my questions and concerns

Professional and caring.

Fantastic. He calls me at home to check up on me and answered my call to his cell when I had a question.

Would have liked a little more time with the doctor. I thought I was getting a new xray, but I didn't.

I saw his PA, Chloe, today. But as always she was professional, attentive and was good at listening to help me make a good decision for today.

Dr.Antoci not only the best orthopedic surgeon in the state but also the most honest and caring doctor

Takes his time to explain and listens to you

Saw the PA. She was. Very efficient

Amazing results with my knee replacement

personable

Wait was excessive, 1 hour, but great doctor

Dr Antoci is wonderful. He is so knowledgeable and patient and understanding. I would and have recommended him to anyone that needs an Orthopedic doctor..

Dr Antoci has replaced my knee and hip and I’ve had excellent results with both procedures and I’m in horrible health so that says a lot!

Personally called me and gave me his cell number. He cares. Great personality as well. Most important, my hip feels great.

He was very professional, and had a good bedside manner definitely would refer him to a friend.

very thorough and kind. THanks

Pleasant experience. Explains all.

Dr Antochi took his time to talk with me about my x-ray and refer me to a Dr. that can take care of what he saw in the x-ray. He already did a total left hip replacement that went perfectly.

Doctor Antoci is so awesome. Gave me a shot for my knee pain and explains everything in detail. Great personality and caring.

Quick visit for 1-year follow up on full knee replacement.

I believe he did a great job- he told me too that he believes it was a good surgery and I should recover well

Good DR. good guy

Dr. Antoci took the time to answer my mom’s concerns, we didn’t feel rushed. Looking forward to seeing him next year! I will definitely recommend Dr. Antoci to others.

Very positive productive visit.

Very professional?

U listen to ur Patience and you take what’s best for them

Dr. Antoci began our appointment 35 minutes late, after I asked if anyone was coming in to the room. He entered with "What can I do for you." I replied "I'm here on a referral for arthritis," to which he began shaking his head no and said "No, you don't have it. I can assure you my knee is worse than yours." I responded "I didn't realize it was a competition - and the remainder of the appointment when downhill. He was clearly in pain with his own injury; however, he was incredibly dismissive, rude, and egocentric. I did not leave with enough information and he did not live by "do no harm."

What a great doctor and understanding of your problems
