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. Puleo performed knee replacement on me several years ago. I have been in severe pain in the other knee & him. I called to schedule an appointment & told that Dr. Puleo is retiring and not accepting appointments. I am so sorry that I didn't call sooner. Dr. Puleo, if you see this, I wish you a very happy and relaxing retirement. Thank you for ALL you have done for me. Janet Wilkes

Dr Puleo is all about volume. Over books appointments. Doesn’t care about patient. Each time I was there isnwad running seriously behind. You can not have a patient wait two hours for a scheduled appointment. Then he spends less than 5 mins wit you. Never followed up with my treatment. This is an awful practice. Don’t go here unless you like waiting in waiting rooms.

We had a fracture over the weekend, and the emergency clinic told us to see an orthopedist first thing on Monday. From the short list of orthopedists in our area, no one else was available, but Dr. Puleo still refused an appointment citing that another doctor was on call of the day of the fracture, and even though that doctor was not seeing patients on Mondays, Dr. Puleo turned down a patient in need. I thought doctors' primary concern should be patients, not some made-up "honor code".

Dr. Puleo is an extremely competent and knowledgeable doctor with an excellent bedside manner. He always makes the time to completely answer all of my questions and concerns. I have been seeing him for over 25 years and have been completely satisfied with his capabilities. I have recommended him to many family members and friends; all of whom have shared my feelings. I will continue to recommend Dr. Puleo.

Dr. Puleo is A + TOP NOTCH... I've been going to him for many years. I wouldn't recommend anyone else. I send all my family and friends in need of an excellent, great bed side manner, and caring doctor. Staff is without a doubt very professional and also has that caring quality that makes you feel right at ease. If you have trust in your doctor, you have everything. I'm very fortunate that our paths have crossed knowing I have the BEST!!!
