- “My experience at Virtua Hospital with Dr. Scott Schoifet has been excellent in every way. The professional that was evidenced at every level was first class. Dr. Schoifet is a surgeon par excellence and I feel confident that my second surgery of a knee replacement will be very successful.”– SrPatient Rating:

- “Saw Dr. Ropiak the day I broke my shoulder and mangled my rotator cuff (after I came home from the ER). I was able to make an appointment immediately, get my CAT scan etc and get a clear diagnosis. His explanation and assessment were clear, not condescending) and he was very straightforward, patiently answering every question. Scheduled surgery within 2 weeks, did a wonderful job,”– IrenePatient Rating:

It was a good experience and I would recommend Doctor Dwyer to anyone who needed this surgery. He explained everything that was going to happen and made me feel very comfortable.”– AnnPatient Rating:

Treating Doctor:
- “I met Dr. Greenleaf after I had been admitted to the emergency room for Cauda Equina Syndrome. Dr. Greenleaf was friendly and reassuring to me in my time of need. He was informative and explained the procedure in a way that I could understand, as well as why it was beneficial for me to receive surgery. I never felt pressured to make any surgical decision and he allowed me to consult with my family and other physicians before I agreed to surgery. I recovered quickly and the surgery was a success. I am now pain-free and back to my regular exercise regime just three months later.”– KatherinePatient Rating:

Treating Doctor:
- “Dr. Marcelli replaced my hip and Dr. Mariani replaced my knee. Both docs were great. My knee was done on May 11 and July 14th, 64 days later I played my first round of golf after my surgery. My knee feels good and I expect to play again. Both times I went to Kennedy Hospitals. Both times the staff were all pleasant and efficient. I was home again just three days after my hip operation and just one day after my knee.”– LouPatient Rating:
Treating Doctor:
- “I recently had ankle surgery with Dr. Alami. She made me feel comfortable and confident in the whole process. Everything runs smoothly; from the time I sign in for an appt., to seeing the doctor, to having surgery and even all the necessary forms I need completed (Antoinette is the best!!!).”– CynthiaPatient Rating:
Treating Doctor:
- “Had unbearable sciatic pain in back, buttocks, and right leg all the way to the big toe. Dr. Greenleaf suggested a laminectomy would rid me of the pain. He rated the chance of success at 95%. Immeadiately after the surgery the sciatic pain was gone. Dr. Greenleaf's pre-surgical explanations were concise and easy to understand. He talked to me at length and answered all my questions. I soon felt that I could trust him and asked for the procedure to be done ASAP. The surgical pain from the laminectomy post-op was minimal, certainly compared to the sciatic pain I had been enduring prior. When I meet people who have back pain I tell them to contact Reconstructive Orthopedics and make an appointment with Dr. Greenleaf. HE IS THE MAN!!! ”– DavidPatient Rating:
Treating Doctor:
- “In 1998 I had had a right hip replacement and had spent 5 days in the hospital and 2 weeks in rehab. On April 12, 2016, I had a left knee replacement. I am truly amazed that at the age of 83 that I was discharged the following day of my knee replacement and went home.......especially since I had 2 little dachshunds that I was truly concerned about. My children did stay with me for 2 weeks, I had physical therapy at home during that time...as well as visits from the nurse. Dr. Jain's staff monitored me before and after the surgery. His staff is extremely conscientious in seeing that all tests and medical clearance are done I am very thankful that Dr. Jain did my surgery and I am indeed very grateful to him. I am just sorry that I waited so long to have the surgery.”– CarolPatient Rating:

Treating Doctor:
- “I walked in with constant and excessive pain starting in my right shoulder and going down my right arm. From the time I walked in I was greeted with friendly and professional people. Ashley Melton knew exactly how to treat me and the Xray tech kept me as comfortable as she could while she took some difficult photos. Ashley was able to give me tell me what was going on better than the emergency room. My follow up visit with Dr. Jill Marple was just as friendly and professional. She made sure that I was 100% before she returned me to work and told me that if the pain returned to make an appointment.”– JamesPatient Rating:
