Review for Dr. Fernicola

I did not see the doctor: I saw PA Patrick. Patrick was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, explained my problem in detail and explained what I could do after the shot. He was terrific!

Review for Dr. Fernicola

Dr. Watson is very well trained and bed side manners are great and explains every thing to the patient in details and nothing is left out and he spends the right amount of time with his patients. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR ANY ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY....

He was able to see me the day after my urgent care visit. Had me in for surgery two days later. Couldn't ask for anything quicker. Very nice and informative.
