I had a deeply disappointing and costly experience with Dr. Carpenos at New England Spine and Disc…read more I came in with leg pain caused by two degenerating discs pinching a nerve. During my initial visit, Dr. Carpenos recommended spinal decompression therapy -- a treatment not covered by insurance. He then started to talk to me like a snake oil salesman: fast and confusing. I explained that I had a very limited budget and needed clarity before committing. So I asked him to slow down and I asked some very specific questions about how the treatment wold work, what the success rate typically was, and what I could expect if I decided to follow the treatment plan. Instead of answering my questions calmly, he became visibly annoyed and said he felt "pressured" by me. I reminded him that it was MY body and my very limited, hard-earned money -- and I was the one feeling pressured to spend it without him having the patience to explain this therapy that insurance wouldn't even cover a significant portion of. His first response was to say that financial hardship shouldn't be a barrier to treatment. When I said I'd have to decline since I couldn't afford the full amount he wanted (Close to 4,000 as I recall) he suggested fewer visits for about half the price. , When I expressed concern and asked if I'd still get relief he assured me I would, so I agreed to take part in the treatment. But at the end of the treatment, I felt no improvement. When I reminded him of his earlier assurance, he said, "I expected that you'd feel a bit better, see the results, want more improvement, and then commit to the final visits." He'd completely ignored my statement at the beginning that there WAS no more money. I felt completely misled and taken advantage of. The experience was not only financially draining but physically uncomfortable. His chiropractic adjustments were rushed, and during one session, he failed to check the placement of my arms during a bear hug/anterior thoracic adjustment. When "hugged" me sharply my fists were jammed into my voice box which hurt so I reflexively pushed back. He asked what was wrong and I explained what had happened. The following week, he asked if my cold was better. When I looked at him, confused, he said "Well, last week you had a sore throat, didn't you?" [It was surreal, like he just was unable to take any responsibility for his own actions.] He also gave questionable medical advice outside his expertise -- once telling me not to use sunscreen despite a family history of skin cancer -- and another time I heard him telling his staff that he'd advised another patient to ignore their cancer doctor's recommendations and to follow his own. Dr. Carpenos' demeanor throughout my treatment was pushy, rude, and evasive when asked direct questions. His team failed to track the decompression machine's pressure settings, so I had to remember my own numbers to ensure proper progression -- a detail that made me feel my investment wasn't respected. If you read his responses to other negative reviews, you'll see a pattern: sarcasm, deflection, and a refusal to take responsibility. I strongly caution anyone considering treatment here. While some patients may find relief, many don't -- and Dr. Carpenos seems far more focused on securing payment than on assessing whether spinal decompression is truly appropriate for your condition.

I went into the surgery feeling that I was in good hands across the board, especially with Dr. W. He takes his time to really listen to patients and is not a surgeon who believes surgery is always the answer. He had been recommended to me by other medical professionals and I completely see why.

His treatments were good and overall assessment was great...the problem is that after three…read moresessions, he does another consultation and tries to get patients to sign a agreement/contract for payment for treatments in advance (over $1000 dollars). He still bills your insurance in addition for each visit he performs. He will tell you that he gets better results from patients if they sign the agreement and pay in advance, thus ensuring they stay...well of course they are going to stay, they paid in advance for the service. Dr. Rubino estimates how long the treatment will be for your area of treatment, then tacks on additional treatments (6 more months) after the problem is fixed for $139 a month (not covered by insurance, so an additional $834)! I told him I would sign an agreement that I am committed to getting better (why I go to the doctor in the first place) but figured it would put his mind at ease for this ridiculous agreement he is pushing on patients. When I went to check out, he left the $139 month for 6 months on the agreement!!! Loved the treatment but will not go back after being shaken down for money for services not rendered. Be careful, what you sign up for with this office.

Before the hip surgery I was pained to walk/limp a 1/4 mile. Dr. Keggi's care (Birmingham hip…read moreresurfacing) was transformative, allowing me to return to all activities such as running and hiking that has included some challenging mountain climbs. I feel decades younger and am pain free. Aftercare in the subsequent five years has been fabulous. Dr. Keggi effectively diagnosed a hip problem that was nerve related (and nothing to do with my hip implant which continues to function perfectly). Even before Covid changed options for care delivery, Dr. Keggi and his team accommodated virtual visits (saving me a drive of 450 miles round trip), where other providers, who I considered, were rigidly expecting in-office visits. Original 2018 review: Recently had Birmingham hip resurfacing done by Dr. John Keggi at St Francis Hospital. Dr. Keggi, his office staff and all the staff, from Admission through discharge were, without exception, outstanding. In particular, they were organized, professional, polite, precise and clearly explained all the steps in the process.

The receptionist at the front desk was sweet and pleasant. She took a photo of all visitors for the temporary badge. The hospice is located in a very peaceful setting, overlooking Long Island Sound. This was actually America's first hospice. The interior was a bit outdated, but the outside view was beautiful and serene. Rest In Peace, David Kniess.
