On another note a big thanks to Rebecca for assisting me with misappropriated charges that I received from my insurance provider. Rebeca went beyond expectations and provided additional support to eliminate the cost of a large insurance bill I received from my provider and was invoiced incorrectly by the insurance company. The entire support team is best! Always Very much appreciated! Chris Schultz Buffalo, New York

Every staff member I came across during my visit was very kind and professional and personable. I felt like I was a regular patient here for years even though it was my first visit. Everything was done quickly. I checked in fast. Got to a room fast. Saw the doctor in minutes. Got X-rays done immediately. And no, nothing was an emergency. That's just how it went! We narrowed down my problem to being one of two things ... it was a little early to make a true call on it, especially when I don't remember ever injuring it, and he gave me a couple of suggestions of things I can do in the meantime while I wait a bit longer and see if the pain subsides. If I ever have to go back to this office, I'd be more than happy to! BTW, when my doctor referred me here, they actually reached out to ME FIRST, welcoming me to their office and eager to set up an appointment for me. Really wonderful to be seen and heard as a patient. If you're ever referred here, do not hesitate. You're in great hands!

We have been in & out of Northtown Orthopedics for years. Several different brakes and Carpal…read moreTunnel surgeries. This past visit was not the same as in past. The girls at desk seemed overworked or just annoyed. The PA was abrupt, loud and didn't introduce herself right away. It was a bit awkward. In past years we felt a strong staff, personable Medical Providers and never felt our consultation was rushed. We waited for a nurse to show my daughter how to properly put on her ankle brace, and after 30 minutes of feeling claustrophobic in room, we just left to check out. We had actually been in that room for over an hour.. The one girl at desk didn't apologize or offer help, she just said "their busy with Patients". My thought was, we've already waited 2 hours & we are a Paying Patient too. Something needs to change in the Medical world asap.

I was originally seen by Dr. Privitera on August 14th 2023 for a severely fractured(shattered)…read morehumorous. My surgery date was August 17th 2023 and found out then that I was in the best hands possible. He repaired my shoulder with pines and plates and a bone graft. He then sent me hone with a Breg cold care machine to help with the pain and swelling. At first I though I would never have full use of my shoulder again but boy was I wrong! A year later and several months of physical therapy later, I'm at almost complete range of motion! I couldn't have seen a better surgeon! Dr. Privitera is strict but he works with you. He only wants the best for his patients and really pushes for improvement. It was physically and mentally rough at time but I got through it with flying colors. If you've seen Dr. Privitera, you already know how wonderful he is. Just know that if you're having a rough time post surgery.. He's got your back. You can and will get through it... just be patient and trust in the doctor. Thank you Dr. Privitera for everything you have helped me get through this past year.

My son is a division 1 wrestler at Binghamton University on a full scholarship. in the spring of…read more2018 he injured his shoulder initially he was told he needed to work through it but after several months and no improvement he was scheduled to have surgery by a surgeon in Binghamton. The surgery was performed in the fall of that year. After several months of rehab, the shoulder continued to cause pain and would even dislocate. After another evaluation by the first surgeon it was determined that another surgery was needed. We decided to seek a second opinion based on our previous experience and were recommended by a friend to WCCH. That is where we were introduced to dr. Privitera. He immediately made a great impression on my husband and I and most importantly on our son. After reviewing all of the Imaging and the prior operative reports dr. Privitera consulted with colleagues and decided to proceed with a quite expensive open bankart repair of my son's right shoulder. The surgery was performed in January of 2020 and after several months of rehab and physical therapy my son returned to the mat in October of that year. On January 3rd 2021 he wrestled in his first match in over two years without any pain in his shoulder. We can't thank Dr Privitera enough for getting my son back to the sport that he has loved since he was 7 years old. He is continuing to get stronger and we hope that success will follow. We have never regretted our decision to have dr. Privitera do the second surgery. He is a very caring surgeon who understood the importance of returning my son to the mat. He was extremely thorough during the surgery and took his time and did everything that was needed to ensure that his shoulder would be intact through a Collegiate sport that causes many strains on that joint. I recommend dr. Privitera to anyone who is looking for an orthopedic surgeon!!!!

When it became 1 hour, I went up to the front desk and asked if she knew what was going on with Stacy. The receptionist said, "Oh, she likes taking extra time with her patients" got up from her chair and came back and said she shouldn't be much longer. I went back to my room and waited. The girl that took me to my room came and said "I know this is horrible, but Stacy is right across the hall, and you are next. I am going to knock on the door again too" It is now going on 1hr 15 minutes. About 5-10 minutes later, Stacy came out of the room and disappeared. Didn't come across the hallway and say anything, just disappeared. Still gave her about 5 minutes, but nope, no Stacy. Even if I had waited, I probably would have gotten some type of attitude from her, like I have before. The one time she even stopped me from talking so she could get to her next patient because he had been waiting 20 minutes "well what about me, I was waiting a hour? I said. Finally decided this is enough and got up and went to front desk to find out about my co-pay. While I was at the desk, the one girl (the one who put me in the room), asked if I was leaving because Stacy was available now. I told her absolutely yes that I was leaving. 1 1/2 hours is unacceptable, at least to me, especially if there is no communication or emergency going on. Maybe give longer appointment times, so this doesn't keep happening. Something needs to be figured out, because this is unacceptable. I do want to thank Drs. Cicchetti for the wonderful care that they both gave me while there. Funny how with both of them, they spent extra time with me, and I wasn't waiting very long. I also want to thank the receptionists, who were always courteous and professional.
