What Patients Are Saying

    Dr Trentacosta is the best. I would recommend her to my friends and family

    Outstanding care and surgeon

    I could tell that the doctor looked at my MRI report for the first time while on the phone with me. She did not provide any sort of long term prognosis or plan other than if it hurts, then we could do something about it.' Obviously it hurts, otherwise I wouldn't have wasted my time or money to see a doctor about it. I feel as though the fact that I'm not longer an athlete or more pressing case meant that there was no need to find a solution for me. It's a bummer, as I did feel like Dr. Trentacosta listened to me at my original appointment. I fear that perhaps this was a product of the doctors being overbooked and overscheduled. I liked Kerlan Jobe much better before it was acquired.

    Dr. Trentacosta has an excellent bedside manner. So important!
