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.

I was having elbow problems and went to Dr. DiPaola. He spent time with me and got to know me a bit. He took care of my problem and had a game plan in case the exercises he recommended didn’t help. He understood how Lupus affects my health, especially with regards to my joints. I recommend him highly.

Dr. DiPaola was great. He communicated clearly. Listened to me well and is willing to meet me where I am and do what I want and not the other way around as I’ve found occurs sometimes.
I have never had a cortisone shot before. I was not looking forward to anyone sticking a needle in to my sore shoulder so I avoided that. He was doing it before I knew what was happening and I was amazed at how adept he was at it and how little pain there was.
Thank you Dr. DiPaola.
I recommend him to anyone considering this doctor.

Dr. DiPaola performed my shoulder and bicep tendon surgery on 1/20/20. I can't be more please with the efficiency of his office and most importantly the outcome of my surgery. I've never waited more than a few minutes of my scheduled appointment. Questions asked via the patient portal are answered within minutes. I'm glad I made the last minute change and switched to UB Ortho for my surgery!

Dr. DiPaola treated me for a broken humerus which because of a non-union eventually required surgery. He is an exceptionally skilled surgeon and practitioner but equally important he is a caring compassionate person.
His office staff does a great job and appointments never necessitated more than a 5-10 minute wait.

I had a car wrick in feb 2015, and had an elbow surgery in ms. where they placed hardware in my arm, for over two and a half years the pain was unbearable.
i moved to buffalo ny & searched the net, i found a youtube video by dr. DIPAOLA, I called his office & all i can say is words is not justify enough to explain how great, honest, generous, kind and highly standard human he really is
A complicated surgery turned out to be a big relief
dr. DIPAOLA is highly recommended
Thank you for everything
