Excellent ER follow up
My elderly father had a bad fall on a Saturday night, and was sent to the ER by his assisted living. He had a fractured shoulder and the ER referral said to contact Dr. Romano. I called Dr. Romano’s service early Monday morning and they got us in at noon time. I was so grateful to have an orthopedic surgeon look at him in a timely manner. The exam and the care and the follow up gave me a sense of confidence that my dad was receiving the best care possible and that he would heal. Also, the staff was extremely polite. The office is easy to navigate with a wheelchair.

Takes the time you need
Dr Romano outlines all your options for care but encourages a conservative approach to treatment first. Listens to patient’s questions and explains all very well. You don’t feel he’s in a rush.

The staff I met before seeing the doctor did their jobs well. It was a pleasure to meet Doctor Romano. He was personable and friendly. He made me feel comfortable. He showed me the scary X-ray and told me what we are going to do about it right now and what the future looked like for me. He already knew my reservations about surgery because we’re the same age and we all heard about bad knee surgeries in our twenties. “Don’t let ‘em cut you man. Worst decision of my life.” Yikes. He gets it. He told me about what isn’t going to change and my options. I appreciated hearing all of that put forth so clearly. He also spent time showing me exercises and stretches that will help lessen my discomfort every day. It was a great visit to the Doctor’s office!
