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.

I couldn't ask for more!
I was operated on 3 years ago for a bi-lateral total knee replacement. I now walk easily and feel the surgery couldn't have done any better in doing what it is expected to do. The recovery was challenging with some extra medical issues that seem to pop up after the surgery; but I would do it again if necessary. although I have arthritis in my legs I know I walk and jog now in a way I could never have done without the surgery.

Dr. Sculco performed a total knee revision after a botched replacement by another surgeon. The revision was a success. His experience, demeanor and willingness to share information and answer all questions is wonderful!

I had a total hip replacement in 2016 by Dr. Sculco. Words truly can't do this doctor justice. He is a fantastic surgeon and his professionalism, expertise, humble ,sincere, honest, genuine mannerism is unmatched. I have never met a doctor at his level of competence experience and achievement who truly cares about his patients. After surgery he stopped by and answered all my questions. What a credit to his profession he's as nice as a man as he is great as surgeon. Debbie Vanoni

I am so happy to share my wonderful experience with Dr. Sculco, his staff and the Hospital For Special Surgery. I had a TKR two years ago and a follow up a year later. Dr. Sculco is unlike any orthopedic surgeon I have ever met. He is brilliant, kind, informative and has a wonderful warm approach when it comes to surgery and preparation. He made me want to work hard at my physical therapy before and after surgery. I'm 75, walking 3 +miles a day & doing leg exercises as Dr. S. suggests.

A terrific doctor however, his office staff is horrible! They are rude and f/u after surgery has become a frustrating task. Previous staff was extremely professional and helpful ~ what happened?? In particular the young lady handling pre and post surgical issues

IT IS NOW 12 MONTHS SINCE DR. T. SCULCO PERFORMED MY TOTAL HIP REPLACEMENT. THE SURGERY WAS 100% SUCESSFUL ON EVERY LEVEL. MY NEW HIP FEELS LIKE AN IRON HIP IN THAT, I WALK 3 MILES A DAY, I RIDE MY BIKE, I DANCE, I CLIMB 250 STEPS A DAY JUST TO KEEP MY THIGH MUSCLES STRONG AND TONED AND I HAVE NO PAIN, NO ACHES, NO PAIN MEDS. IT'S HARD TO DESCRIBE SCULCO, WORDS FAIL. HIS SKILL AS A SURGEON IS IMPECCABLEAND HE MAKES EVERYTHING GO SMOOTH, FROM START TO FINISH. HE'S COMPLETELY HONEST AND GENUINE.
