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.

Dr C is simply the best. He has been my knee doctor for years and has always been their best friend and my best doc.

Thank God there are still some left like him!
I am an M.D. myself, and old enough to remember when docs spent time with you and answered your questions. I had two meniscus tears, and Dr. C. did partial meniscectomy for them. He listened to my concerns and addressed them. I highly recommend him.

Dr Cicotti
Dr Cicotti and his team performed a rotator cuff repair and bicep tendon repair . I could not be happier with the whole process from the Navy yard facility to Dr Cicotti and his team . Just had my 6-7 month follow up and he answered all my questions and told me to call him if anything comes up . He is a true professional and a great surgeon .

Rotator Cuff Surgery
Why I waited so long to get my rotator cuff repaired after I tore it many years ago as a former NCAA Division 1 Baseball Player, I’ll never know. Dr. Ciccotti is a superb surgeon combined with an amazing bedside manner that extends to/thru his entire medical team. If you are looking for a perquisite orthopedic surgical experience, look no further!

Dr Ciccotti is an amazing knee surgeon. 8 years later, the knee in which replaced my ACL is stronger and smoother than my other knee. My recovery was much easier than I expected, and I was back to soccer faster than most anyone said I could be. I can't say enough good things about his skills.

Dr. Ciccotti performed my ACL reconstruction surgery. Prior to surgery he was extremely comprehensive both in diagnosing the tear, explaining my options, and giving me pros and cons for each scenario based on my lifestyle and activity level. The surgery and recovery were smooth and throughout my recovery every check in I was seen by him. Appointments for my next checkup were always made leaving my last, so scheduling was very easy as I know he’s extremely busy and sought after.

Dr Ciccotti is tremendous on a few levels. Firstly, his skill, credentials, and reputation are obviously beyond reproach. This man is genuinely the top of the heap in his field. Secondly, and for me this was the most important, he gave me clarity on what to expect, and reassurance that if I worked hard and followed the plan, I would be able to go back to doing the things I love to do. When I got to his office I was crushed by the prospect of never enjoying the physical pursuits that are my passions in life, but his feedback put those fears to rest. I'm very grateful that I was able to have Dr Ciccotti as my surgeon, and you would be too.

Dr. Ciccotti and his staff at Rothman have always been extremely helpful. I had some issues with my knees and they got me back to doing the activities I love to do. Dr. Ciccotti takes the time to explain things to you so that you fully understand. A lot of doctors dominate the conversation but he allows you to ask as many questions as you need without talking down to you. He's a really great doctor and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a excellent orthopedic doctor.

Dr. Ciccotti and his assistant Jen are great! Doctor listens carefully and explains the issue clearly laying out all the options and always starting with the most conservative and non-surgical option. He puts your mind at ease and is very knowledgeable at knee issues. The usual wait time is 1-2 hrs but it’s worth it.

Dr Cicotti is awesome. He performed two rotator cuff shoulder surgeries and an ACL reconstruction on my knee and my outcomes were all 100% back to normal. Dr Cicotti thoroughly explains all diagnostic tests and procedures and ensures all questions and concerns are addressed. I never feel rushed during my visits but appointments occasionally get backed up which can happen anywhere. I highly recommend Dr Cicotti.
