Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep the reviews trustworthy, honest & fair.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

Excellent short AND long-term outcomes! 10 years ago this month Dr. Cerabona performed a lumbar laminectomy and fusion which immediately resolved relentless back and leg pain. I soon returned to normal work, travel, golf, and other sports activities and I remain similarly physically active and pain-free from that original lower spine problem. He patiently listened to my history, explained my MRI and other test results along with his diagnosis, and objectively outlined my surgical and non-surgical alternatives. My surgical and lifestyle outcomes remain terrific 10 years out, and I highly recommend Dr. Cerabona!

Dr. Cerabona is a wonderful back surgeon. He fixed a debilitating condition that I had had for many years. He really listens during consultations and did a fantastic job.

All I want to say about him is "I DIDN'T KNOW GOD CAME IN A WHITE COAT, THANK YOU GOD. NEXT TIME YOU DON'T LOOK AT AN XRAY OR EXAM A PATIENT, THINK OF ME. YOU SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG, BUT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG. "

I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Cerabona. He is kind, efficient, trustworthy and an honest dr (which is the most important thing!) Hes not the type of Doctor that is quick to cut you open. I am lucky enough to have had him perform my back surgery. I now live my life painfree because of him. I could not thank him enough. My surgery was such a success that I did not even need physical therapy. I live a normal life now! Thank you!

Cerabona never looked at the MRI film or examine me. He said I don't need surgery. Keep in mind didn't touch my back or look at the films! I saw him at Kings Highway Orthopedic Associates, whereas they all don't know what their doing! I didn't know GOD came in a white coat! THANKS GOD!!!

This Doctor is very nice and understandable. He explains every detail of the procedure. Unfortunately my surgery wasn't successful and I fell as if I was thrown to pain management as well. After the surgery and the time allotment for healing and there is still pain it becomes unbelievable to the doctors, almost as if you are making it up. Then there was no further after care.

he completely butchered my daughter starting at age 11 and then pawned her off to pain care. he's a monster. she is 28 years old still suffering from what he did to her. I am so angry that he was allowed to get away with it. she loved and trusted him and now is so devastated by his lack of follow-up and concern from what was done to her. She still needs so many more surgeries to even give her a modicum of normal life. I am so devastated by what he has done to my child. doubtincludedhere
