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.

God forbid you have questions or follow-ups
I saw Dr Fabiano for a broken ankle a few years ago. The first follow up appointment, I realized there was a problem. When I asked a simple question, he rolled his eyes and gave me a short answer. His goal is to get out the door. The next appointment, I made a point to bring in a list of questions so he couldn't shrug me off. The real problem came more than a year after the initial surgery when I was still having issues with the ankle. I spent over 6 months in pain trying to get him to respond to a call, or an email, or ANYTHING. My work comp agent (representative?) even noted that she had never seen anything like this. He completely refused to take either of our calls, or schedule an appointment to even see what was going on. I ended up having to go to another doctor for another consult, and eventually to have another surgery, because Fabiano was completely unwilling to even entertain the idea that his 'work' was anything less than perfect.

I called to ask a few questions about the follow up appointments and he basically made me feel bad for questioning anything at all. Said that everything he was doing was needed and necessary but still couldn't answer my initial questions. Doctors should not get defensive for questions as we are our own and in this case our children's only advocates.

Disgusted in his bedside manner – Apr 19, 2022
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Fabiano?
The visit was very rushed. Didn’t seem to listen to how I was describing my pain and symptoms and said let’s do a cortisone injection and was out the door. I came back because the injection did NOTHING. He has me schedule surgery for a scope. After surgery he didn’t even talk to my spouse face to face nor did he answer any questions that they had. I’m in more pain, with more complications than before surgery.

Linda Kelly – Mar 22, 2020

Dr. Fabiano rushed me out of my first visit. I had an X-ray from my family doctor of my knee, he said, it's bone on bone knee, no surgery today, just a cortizone shot. He rushed out like he was at a race track. Dr Fabino was with me less than 5 minutes. I felt that he didn't care about me. I pay good money for my health insurance and co payment and I expect excellent service. I didn't get to ask why I have so pain in my knee and thigh. The physical therapist that my family doctor sent me to thought it was a torn meniscus. I'm going to different orthopedic surgeon. Dr Fabiano has no bed side manners, he didn't adress me by my name or took any time to talk to me or explain things or if I had any questions. A friend referred me to Fabino. My friend said, he is a great doctor. I beg to differ.I wish I could find out what is causing this pain. First impressions count on the first doctor's visit and Dr Fabino failed.I would give him 0 stars if I could.

Horrible “doctor” did surgery on my foot and messed it up so I had to see another “doctor” who also messed it up. Went in another time with my bad knee and I said I didn’t want the cortisone shot he didn’t listen to me and just jabbed the needle in and then walked out. He has done surgery on 3 other people I know and has messed them up too. PCI really needs to make sure their doctors know what they are doing.

he may not have the best bed side manner. However he does know what he is doing. Ask questions and be apart of ur health experience. no one can read your mind so if you have a question or a concern, address it at the time you are there'

When my loved one was in the hospital and having medical issues, nurses couldn’t get ahold of him. He will not return calls to physical therapy or the hospital on his patients care, even when it’s emergent

Two months ago, Dr. Fabiano said my options were to have surgery to repair my torn rotator cuff or get a cortisone shot to get by until after back surgery. I took the shot. This time, he said he'd give me another shot, but there was nothing wrong other than slight fraying and to go to PT and then rushed me out of his office. I came home all confused. Turns out he had looked at an old MRI from a few years ago instead of the one from a few moths ago. Rude, condescending and unprofessional.

Twice saw for shoulder injury - first rotator cuff, second broken humerus after a fall. Trust him completely. Does what is needed, doesn't push unnecessary procedures. Sometimes quiet, but great sense of humor. Independent PT told me his patients healed faster and better than anybody else's.

Dr. Fabiano was very concise in his diagnosis and straight forward with what it would take to repair my knee injury. He was thorough, caring and did an excellent job with my surgery and in directing my Physical Therapists with his recommended protocol for a full recovery. I could not be happier that I was referred to him.
