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.

Pleasant, thorough and professional
Very pleasant, informative and explained my options. He gave me information brochures to review my options which left me feeling confident in how to proceed when I'm ready.

Total Ankle Replacement
It's been 20 months since Dr. Monaco placed an Infinity implant in my ankle. He saved my life. I had seen a well respected orthopedic practice that recommended ankle fusion. I knew that was not the answer for me. Dr. Monaco enthusiastically recommended the Infinity implant. I have never looked back. I am so fortunate to have him and grateful for his talent and expertise. He is my hero!!

He knew exactly what the problem was with my foot! RA flare-up. Never had a flare-up in my foot before, only in my hands, so I didn’t realize the foot swelling and pain was related to my hands flare-up at the same time. Makes sense now!!Very thankful to Dr Monaco!!

Ankle Surgery
Dr. Monaco is friendly, honest, and knows his stuff. He gave me time to get comfortable with surgery and didn’t push me. Glad I went through with it and with him - Osteochondral lesion (chipped off cartilage). Great experience overall. He does a good job setting realistic expectations for healing, and giving full information about potential outcomes of surgery. Fortunately the least invasive surgery was all I needed - but he got my consent ahead of time to do more if needed so I wouldn’t have to go under twice and it would be fixed up best as possible. Good guy.

Top Notch Doctor!!
Dr. Monaco gave me great advise on timing of surgery. Had surgery done quickly and extremely happy with results. After 3 months of PT, I am back to jogging 4 months after surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Monaco and his Premier team.

A Satisfied Patient
I was referred to Dr. Monaco due to a work related injury, the severity of which made immediate relief desirable. I’ve always been physically active as a musician, caregiver and golfer, so the full use of my limbs is critical. I expressed my concerns when I met Dr. Monaco for the first time. He was confident that I’d be able to resume my passions post-surgery after physiotherapy. The results of the surgery were beyond my expectations. My Achilles tendon had been severed. Fourteen weeks later, I’m mobile and and through approximately twelve weeks of physiotherapy, I’m well on my way to a safe and comfortable recovery. I’d never known Dr. Monaco before the initial consultation, but it was a fortuitous meeting. I’d recommend him to anyone in need of critical foot surgery. His oversight and adjustments to my therapy protocol have been an added contribution to my recovery process. I’m grateful to Dr. Monaco for his skill and dedication to his patients.

Ankle replacement
Dr. Monaco did my ankle replacement earlier this year. Pain from a stress fracture caused me to get an x-ray which revealed my ankle was in very bad shape. Dr. Monaco went over my options and we decided together what was best for me. The procedure was successful with very little pain. The only downside was I could not put any weight on my foot for 3 weeks. That is a minor inconvenience for now having better mobility. I did not have to wait long for an appointment, the staff was helpful. I was in good hands with Dr. Monaco. I highly recommend him. SB

Bi-Lateral Ankle Replacement
Doctor Spencer Monaco DPM, is an amazing podiatric foot & ankle surgeon with Premier Orthopedics. He had performed a bi-lateral ankle replacement for me 2 years ago which had given me the quality of life back. He shows empathy and his bedside manners are remarkable. He is reachable and always willing to listen to you, and answer any questions or concerns you may have.

After 2 suffering years, found a true craftsman
Misdiagnosed, by first podiatrist, as arthritis in the joint behind the R big toe. Lived w/that for 2 yrs, then an alert physical therapist suggested a broken bone which sent me to Premier's podiatrist, De. Monaco, who properly diagnosed that broken bone first visit. Let me decide on when to operate @ their fine facility in Exton, & that facility is so much easier than a hospital. All the staff there were tops, both @ check in & nurses, best operation experience I've ever had. Only needed over counter pain meds, now 90% healed w/no pain @ 6 weeks. Dr. Monaco's patient manner, diagnostics & surgical skill is top shelf & he is a true craftsman, leaving me a grateful patient.
