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.

Not impressed
Dr. Cassinelli was an hour behind so I’m thinking he was trying to make up time with my visit? I sustained a terrible injury, which He seem to disregard as important. I wouldn’t recommend seeing this physician.

Absolutely great throughout my procedure.
Dr. Cassinelli recently performed corrective replacement surgery on my ankle. He provided me with the necessary information for me to fully understand my condition and the best solution for the problem. He answered my questions throughly describing what I could expect from the surgery and throughout recovery. His compassionate and straightforward approach gave me confidence that I was making the right decision.

Dr. Cassinelli is awesome
Dr. Cassinelli was awesome. He was attentive, showed concern and didn't beat around the bush. He also didn't want to jump in to surgery and saved me some money by saying we could hold off on an MRI to see if my ankle got any better. Would definitely recommend Dr. Cassinelli.

Excellent Physician
I was referred to Dr. Cassinelli by an orthopedic surgeon friend of mine who put my knee back together. Excellent referral. He listened to me, immediately diagnosed the problem, and clearly set out my treatment plan. If I end up needed surgery, I will have no hesitation using Dr. Cassinelli as my surgeon. I would highly recommend him to anyone experiencing any foot or ankle related problems.

Knowledgeable and friendly
I didn’t have a major problem, but I still felt confident and comfortable with the process. I’d fainted and really tweaked my ankle. After three months of on and off pain, I have relief. Dr. Cassinelli knew exactly what was going on, what was needed and how to treat it. I wouldn’t hesitate to go to him for a more major problem. I would also recommend him to friends and relatives.

A Stand Out in Today’s Medical World
I have seen Dr. Cassinelli on 2 occasions and was impressed with how much interest he took in what I said, asked and did. He took his time evaluating, sharing information with me and giving me some hope as I left. He was professional and very knowledgeable.

Success!
I was having trouble walking, and working. Dr. Cassinelli diagnosed the problem correctly and suggested a minor surgical procedure to address my problem. I was able to schedule the surgery quickly, the facilities at ROC are excellent, and my recovery was as predicted. I am very pleased with my outcome and the outstanding skills of my surgeon. Anyone having problems with their feet should seek out Dr. Cassinelli.

Hallux bunion surgery
Dr. Cassinelli did a great job with my bunion surgery. There was very little pain involved. I only needed aspirin after surgery. The downtime is much shorter than I expected. I’ll be back to running really soon. I highly recommend him and this type of surgery.
