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.

Worst surgical results ever!!
Seemingly a nice doctor, he ruined three of my fingers while operating on one! My hand is now malfunctional & painful. I saw a 2nd surgeon to see if my hand could be fixed & he said that it was unlikely. Yet Dr. Talerico suggested he do a second surgery. I WOULD NEVERLET THIS MAN OPERATE ON ME AGAIN!

Dr. Talerico was very nice and pleasant. He assessed my hands and knew what was wrong with them. I work from home, using my computer and I’ve been doing so for years. He gave me a shot right away and he explained everything (diagnosis, procedure, post-procedure care) very well. His physician assistant John McDonald saw me before he did and he performed some tests to diagnose me. He explained the diagnoses very well and he provided course of action that the doctor agreed with. He was very nice and approachable as well. They both have great bedside manners and their medical assistant Bekkah Popovich was very professional and nice! I had a great and productive visit. I absolutely recommend Dr. Talerico, John McDonald PA, and their Advocate office to everyone with hand pain/problems.

Saw Dr. Talerico twice for severe pain going down my arm into my hand. Took an x-ray. Sent me for EMG. Upon arrival for second appointment, Dr. Talerico said "I can't help you". Luckly, I then went to a pain specialist who did a MRI which showed disc protrusion .

Dr Talerico operated on my mother and fixed her hip. Not only did he do a great Surgical repair, but his bedside manner, caring and compassion were refreshing in this day and age. He also gave us the plan and carried it out on time.

Dr. Talerico explained in detail the surgery to decompress my ulnar nerve and the potential outcomes. I had the surgery yesterday and I'm extremely optimistic about the results. Dr. Talerico was extremely kind and supportive and I am thankful to him for performing my surgery.

My son broke his arm. The debate was surgery or no surgery. Dr. Talerico was so informational and helped my son (then 14), my husband and I feel confident about the decision to proceed with surgery. Not easy to imagine having a plate and screws installed in your arm, but Dr. Talerico made our son feel relaxed and was a joy to work with post-op/rehab. My husband has since seen Dr. Talerico and I just made an appointment for a knee issue.

About Me

care philosophy

My goal is to provide high quality care to my patients. I tend to have a conservative approach to many of the common orthopaedic injuries I treat. I also like to include my patients in the decision making process regarding the best possible treatment for their injury or problem.
