Sacco in lieu of my Carpal Tunnel. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a very professional, friendly staff. I had never been to an Orthopedic Surgeon before, didn't know what to expect, I had "White Coat Syndrome", tense, full of anxiety. However, I found him to be Professional, Knowledgeable, Personable, Thorough. He was very friendly, and informative, direct, and I like/appreciate his candor. He explained his findings, diagnosis, options and treatment plan for positive resolution. Last but not least, to my surprise, he has a great sense of humor. He put my mind at ease. By the time my appointment was over, I felt like I had known him for a while, and I was anxiety free. I'm very glad that I was referred to him by my Orthopedic Doctor. I would not want to go to any Orthopedic Surgeon. I highly recommend this Orthopedic Surgeon/office. I have had several post op appointments with Dr. Sacco since my Carpal Tunnel Surgery for my Right Hand Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The most recent was yesterday 11/27/2023. All I can add to this review is that I truly believe Dr. Sacco is the Best In The Business ~hands down.... He listens well, examines your injury thoroughly, treats you accordingly. Genuinely cares about his patients!! He and his staff are Always knowledgeable, professional and friendly. Last but not least, they are consistent. I hate going to doctors appointments in general. However, I don't mind going to Dr. Sacco because I know he has my best interest at heart and he is Not just in it for the money. Obviously, I still highly recommend Dr. Sacco if you need an excellent Dr./Surgeon for your Hand/Wrist/ Elbow/Shoulder. Thank you Dr. Michael F. Sacco for taking such good care of my hand/Orthopedic needs. Sincerely, Gloria Hackett Dials

I get that it happens but according to the receptionist the provider called in earlier and I was her first appt so I should have gotten some notice The receptionist wanted me to drive another 30mins away so I could be seen today. I explained that I didn't have more time to accommodate this and then she was openly hostile and started to chastise me that she was just trying to explain my options. I guess I was supposed to only provide yes/no responses. No apology just a bunch of disorganization, hostility, and disregard for basic curtesy and professionalism.

Some surgeons wouldn't think twice and trust the radiologist word, he saved me from a crazy surgery.

After experiencing plantar fasciitis for a few months and not making satisfactory progress with…read morerest, stretching, strengthening, and physical therapy, I found Precision Sports when looking for someone to perform the Graston Technique on my ailing foot. Graston is a procedure of very deep soft tissue work. I had a long-planned vacation about 10 weeks out and was desperate to be ready for a lot of planned hiking. On my first appointment I could not walk down the street without significant pain and discomfort. Plantar fasciitis often takes months to get rid of, so I was prepared to make multiple visits. I was a bit skeptical regarding whether the Graston procedure would help me, but I was desperate to get ready for vacation. At my first visit with Dr Banks, he said they see lots of people with plantar fasciitis and have a very good success rate, so I was cautiously optimistic. I did a series of eight visits which consisted of the Graston technique followed up by a Laser treatment of the foot. I started to feel progress was being made and continued with eight more visits. At the end the pain was almost totally gone, and I was doing significant walking. I then went on vacation where I was able to walk up to 10 miles in a day. Over the course of my visits, I saw both Dr Banks and Dr Matock, who were both great. I would recommend giving Precision Sports a try.

Dr. Mike helped me pinpoint exactly what was limiting me and built a simple, targeted plan that actually fit into my existing training, and now overhead work no longer feels tight or painful--I'm moving better, feeling stronger, and even PR'd my jerk by 20 lbs thanks to a much better receiving position. He's also been great at helping me manage smaller issues along the way and really listens, making adjustments that work for my goals; working with him feels like having a real coach and medical expert in my corner, and I'd recommend him to anyone--athlete or not--who wants to fix the root cause instead of just chasing symptoms.

I rested, scaled back, and even tried a few massages, but after a month with no improvement, I knew I needed something more. I decided to give Dr. Mike a shot since he's part of our CrossFit community and has a great reputation at the gym. Being a former coach, he truly understands the movements we do and the intensity we train at. That made a huge difference. I also shared that I'm a busy mom and don't have a lot of extra time for long rehab routines, and he completely got it. He gave me simple, effective exercises I could realistically stick to, while actively working on rehabbing my shoulder. What I appreciated most is that he didn't just tell me to stop or "take it easy." He understood my goals and helped me keep moving forward safely without feeling like I was losing progress. Now my shoulder is completely healed. At my worst, I couldn't even lift my arm to shoulder height--now I'm back to doing everything in CrossFit, and honestly feel stronger than before. He didn't just fix the injury--he helped me build a better foundation so I can avoid this happening again. Highly recommend!

We came to Dr. Shah for Hyaluronic Acid injections, and the results exceeded our wildest expectations. After decades of dealing with pain in both knees, my mom is finally pain-free. Dr. Shah was not only highly skilled and professional but also incredibly compassionate. She took the time to explain the procedure and made sure my mom was comfortable throughout. The difference is night and day--my mom is now walking without pain for the first time in many years. If you are looking for an doctor who truly cares and delivers results, look no further than Dr. Shah. I also want to extend a huge thank you to Michael, Hazel and the entire staff for being so warm, welcoming, and efficient during our visits. From the front desk to the medical assistants, the entire team made my mom feel comfortable and cared for from the moment we walked in.

I had rotator cuff surgery performed by Dr. Timmerman a week ago. From what I understand, the tear…read morewas fairly substantial, and it was not automatic that surgery would be able to repair it. Also, from what I understand, including the pictures she showed me, she was successful in reattaching it. Without being an expert on these things, it still seems to me that Dr. Timmerman is an experienced and skilled surgeon. That, of course, is by far and away the most important thing in looking for a surgeon. The reason I am not giving her an unreserved five star rating is the following: In our postoperative visit one week after the surgery, I felt Dr. Timmerman was very rushed. She showed me pictures of the shoulder and the surgery, which I appreciated, but kind of rushed through her explanation of what the pictures represent. As somebody who has zero knowledge or understanding of such things, I really did not understand it all and did not feel comfortable to ask her to repeat her explanations. Nor did she really take time to just sit down and say, "OK, how are you feeling? How is everything ?" I did not come away feeling clear on what I can and cannot do during the entire three months of my recovery period, nor on what the prognosis is for a fairly full recovery of the use of my shoulder.The whole appointment was maybe five minutes and I was asking her questions as she literally had 1 foot out the door of the room. Now I understand that doctors can be very busy, but I really do feel like they have to make time to create an atmosphere in which a patient can feel comfortable asking questions. After all, the recovery period is important. I am not sure how to say this: I appreciate the experience and apparent skill that Dr. Timmerman brings to the table. But as just some older guy who just wants to live out his remaining years being comfortable, active, and as productive as he can, I have to wonder if in the field of sports medicine us older people are sufficiently recognized for who we are.

I came to HealthPro with two competing issues, one a crazy rare injury and surgery (essentially I tore my hamstrings off at the top and they pulled down my leg... had them reattached) and a herniated disc injury & surgery. The neck thing has been pretty standard - the leg, I've been a 'first' for most of the medical pro's I've seen along the way. Apurva has been my therapist, and I'm progressing really well - she challenges me in a safe way, answers all of my questions in ways I can understand, and she's also FUN. Randy at the front desk has been great with all of the paperwork, approvals, etc, and kept me informed about the process (which is important when you are in the fear cave of athletic injury and everything insurance-related feels SO SLOW.) The aides are all great - personable, kind, and efficient. I'm super grateful to have these guys on my recovery team - my epic injury saga is followed by an EPIC COMEBACK!
