Dr. Sculco did both my left and right hip replacements 5 years apart. He is an extremely good surgeon. I’m very thankful for the care and treatment I received. Also, the Hospital for Special Surgery is amazing.

From start to finish amazing. I had total knee replacement and I was riding my stationary bike by day 14. Walking with no cane or assistance. The scar is healing to a very thin line. Dr. Sculco gave me my life back. The surgery and recovery was less painful than what I had been living with. Doing the left knee next year!

Dr Sculco is the most amazing doctor I have had the pleasure of meeting. We hit it off as best a doctor and patient could. Dr Sculco was a life saver for me. When he said, “"I can fix you” I cried. Others had turned me down because of the complicated nature of my knee. I will be forever in his debt. I am in therapy now and I can walk. I will be able to walk without an aide ie walker or cane soon. His care was suburb! I could not have asked for a better hospital. HSS was great as well. I live in Rockford Illinois and I traveled to New York and stayed at The Osborn in Rye, NY for two months following my surgery. I received excellent care there as well. Thank you Dr Sculco see you in March!!

Dr. Peter Sculco is very in demand and he will give you an honest assessment. After waiting one year I had the much needed knee replacement and knew I was in good hands as I went into the surgery. Dr. Sculco reassures his patients and has a personal interest in making sure the outcome will be the best. My case was a valgus knee and as soon as I woke up from recovery I walked around and could feel the excellent re construction. His staff answers promptly any calls or concerns. He is constantly learning new methods and travels internationally to share his knowledge as well as exchange with others. The recovery takes time but as each month passes the excellent craftsmanship really shows up when you have patience, I highly recommend this surgeon to anyone who has issues and doubts. You will be very honored if you have Dr. Peter Sculco! I certainly am and praise him daily .

Dr. Peter Sculco is that rare combination of an outstanding skilled surgeon who is also genuinely caring and compassionate. In less than 4 months following complicated emergency surgery to repair a fractured femur along with a revision of prior hip replacement surgery, I am back to doing everything I did before. I am so grateful to be his patient and can't rave about him enough!

I could not walk a 1/2 block without excruciating pain in my right knee. I had cortisone shots and the injections which did not help. Dr. Sculco explained to me that I had bone on bone and arthritis and that a knee replacement would be beneficial. I agreed, had surgery in January, and am back riding my horses and walking again, pain free!!!! Dr. Sculco is The Best!!!!!

Dr Sculco replaced my hip and both knees within 5 months' He is truly Mr Magic. I have a whole new life.

After limping along for longer than ideal, I was referred to Dr. Sculco for a revision of a 7 yr old total knee replacement. He was very attentive, esp to my walking peculiarities stemming from scoliosis. His confidence, knowledge & kindness wowed me & on 3/15/17 Dr. Sculco persevered through my arduous knee revision. In contrast to 2 earlier painful TKA's , most remarkably, this expertly managed complex revision enabled me to have a very rapid recovery with minimal discomfort

Dr Peter Sculco is a kind, dedicated physican. He is truly a genius who was willing to take my difficult case. He has created in his practice....along with his competent Jessica and Sophia....a down-to-earth demeanor that is conducive to compassionate healing. This was my first experience with PAs as they were not present when I had my previous surgeries at HSS. I found most of them to be intrusive & somewhat rude as they would relay patient incidents , some of which were not factual.

Dr Sculco took the time and intérest to find out how to fix my knee problems. After two physicians two replacements and a revision surgery I was still in discomfort. Dr Sculco looked at my films and did thorough exams to come up with a treatment plan. Traveling to HSS in New York was the best decision I made regarding my knee. He is thorough, kind, compassionate and accessible with answers to your questions. I would highly recommend Dr Sculco.
