Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

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

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

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

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

Very caring Doctor
I have been going to Dr. Christopher Veneziano for orthopedic treatment of my right knee and right rotator cuff for the past 5 years and I cannot express how thankful I am for his help. He is an incredibly knowledgeable doctor who is always willing to go above and beyond to ensure that I receive the best care possible.Not only is Dr. Veneziano a great doctor, but his staff is also top-notch! Everyone from the receptionists to the nurses are incredibly friendly and accommodating.Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my experience at South County Orthopedic Specialists and would highly recommend Dr. Veneziano to anyone in need of orthopedic treatment. He truly cares about his patients' well-being and goes out of his way to provide excellent care every single time!

A Great Appointment!
I saw Dr. Veneziano for a cortisone shot to my hip. I found him friendly and thorough. He explained everything he was going to do and what I should expect after the shot. I was seen earlier than my appointment and was out within 15 minutes.

Dr. Veneziano performed my left shoulder surgery 10 years ago. My right shoulder now is due for surgery. I changed insurance in order to have Dr. Veneziano, he is that GOOD. I have other medical complications, being a high risk patient for surgeries,. He is confident and knowledgeable. I trust him and feel at ease with his explanations. He and his staff are outstanding. Highly recommend!
