They waste your time shamelessly. We arrived at 3:45 as requested for a 4pm appointment. The place…read moreis supposed to close at 5. The waiting area was packed, like people with crutches leaning against the wall. It was clear they were running badly behind, and from the amount of people waiting, it was clear it's wasn't just one doctor running late. At 4:30, I asked the check-in desk how it was looking. There were 3 people ahead of us and they just took in the 3:15 appointment. It could be 30 minutes, it could be 45 minutes. "Depends if the people ahead of you have a lot of questions or need an X-ray." Um, are you hoping for people who ask no questions about their own medical condition? No explanation of how they were going to see us well after their closing time. No "sorry," which I guess would've been hypocritical anyway. By that point, I had checked Yelp and found it was par for the course, and sure enough, it was just another day of grossly overbooking the place at the expense of patients' time. We canceled soon after and left without being seen for a painful injury. Wish I could send them a bill for our time.

I am doing most everything I want to do, walking 2-3 miles every day, etc. Pain is still there but nominal compared to before surgery. His Physician Assistant, Ginger, is awesome as well. They both have been responsive to my needs and questions. I highly recommend Dr Summa if you are in need of a surgeon. He is the best.

Knee has never been right. I was in awful pain and had to spend I day extra in the hospital. Knee still hurts plus a huge jagged scar. Worst of all is that he's not interested in listening to patient concerns or questions. I did like his assistant, Ray. Great guy.

I will admit that if I were difficult, The Blaze would likely not hesitate to send me away. However, this remarkable physical therapist showed me the right model for my recovery, focusing on muscle training and proper posture. Judy prepared me for the next steps with my physician. The key difference has been in reducing the pain associated with Heel Spur Fasciitis--it's no minor discomfort. Thank you again, Judy!

My wife was treated there several years before, and was quite happy with them, enough so that when I needed therapy, she urged me to go to Judy. This is a small facility, with one large entry space where exercises are taught and practiced by the patient prior to treatment by a specialist in one's individual needs in one of 4-5 private rooms. Exercises and treatments are tailored to those individual needs. Both my own treatments and my wife's were referred by our primary care docs and covered by Medicare. The facility is very conversant with what's covered and how to submit for payment. We never had any sort of issue with this, never any out of pocket, based on our Standard Medicare with a good AARP supplemental policy.

Excellent patient care from beginning to end. He was a blessing. He took the time to listen and explained in laymen's terms what to expect regarding surgery on hip replacement and the extreme importance of followup with physical therapy as well as occupational therapy. My husband felt empowered knowing he didn't go through it blindly and all questions were answered clearly. Successful surgeries, Excellent Doctor and compassionate team were the perfect combination. We were very fortunate to have Dr Christoffersen talent and experience restore mobility and able to live a pain free life again.

From the moment I walked in until the moment I left the facility, my experience there was arguably the best I've ever had for a medical procedure. From the receptionist to all the nurses involved, it was a first-class act. I had only met Dr. Christoffersen once, but I was confident that all would be okay, based on talking to people who knew him. The surgery went perfectly, and I was up and standing shortly after the procedure. I stayed the night for observation, then the next day I was released. My knee was straight, and the healing time was approximately one and a half months. I was back on the golf course in six months. Based on how well my knee replacement worked out, I would highly recommend Dr. Christoffersen to anyone.

Dr. Ghaderi has been fantastic. There is so much I appreciate about her, in our first meeting she did bring up the point of having the right doctor/patient match, which I did not read as a dislike of me but, an excellent way to start what is essentially a long term very personal relationship. I have seen Dr. Ghaderi several times the past year, every visit has been on time, comprehensive, helpful and ends with a plan and often a plan B as well. She has a balance of traditional and nontraditional treatments and on more than one occasion has sought outside advice for my situation. I am so grateful to have her as my doctor.
