I had surgery to treat several problems in my dominant hand in February of 2021. I had two cysts…read morewhich needed to be removed, a trigger finger condition, and a deteriorating carpal-metacarpal joint, all in my left thumb. Dr. Ditano's performance throughout everything was excellent. He is extremely well-trained, highly skilled, and very, very diligent. He was also very patient about explaining all the problems, what the options were and how the prognoses would play out depending on the course chosen. When I opted for surgery, he described exactly what would happen and stressed repeatedly that after surgery, there WILL be physical/occupational therapy needed. He didn't sugar-coat anything. He was dead-on in everything he told me. In addition, Dr. Ditano is a very congenial and courteous professional. I can't say enough about him. His office staff, from the physician's assistant to the radiologist to the nurse to the receptionist all met the same high standards he set for the practice. John M.

Dr. Ditano did surgery on my right hand. I was nervous about the surgery because I am a jeweler and…read moreI need that hand to be working! He did a super job. He was realistic about my recovery time and pain level. I had my surgery Feb 15th and today the scar is almost invisible. He told me about 6 months before my hand is fully functioning...and I am right on target. Plus, he is just a good guy. I recommend Dr. Ditano without hesitation.

This review pertains to this entire multi office practice…read more I saw Dr. Evans initially which was about 2 weeks after an acute injury following my usual kettlebell workout. I've been working out my entire life and do not intend to stop. Dr. Evans basically looked at the X-rays they took in the office, told me what I already know regarding arthritis and said "people our age can't workout out like that." Moving less is not something I ever expect to hear from an MD and I do not accept that philosophy. I also expected a thorough hands on examination but he only briefly touched my knee. I requested an MRI which showed a medial meniscus tear but after much research online about the prognosis of surgery I wanted to see if it would begin to heal on its own. And yes I've kept working out by modifying my routine. When it was clear it was not getting better, and I was starting to resign myself to the likelihood surgery was the remedy, I called to schedule with Dr. Mulholland at the Sewickley office. I selected him because his bio indicated more of a sports medicine approach as well as utilizing biologics such as platelet rich plasma injections. So I make an appt to see him, and a few hours before my appt after a period of contending with ever increasing pain and decreasing range of motion they told me they were canceling my appt because "He won't see you. They want you to see Dr. Evans because he is the one who ordered your MRI. I WAS LIVID! My advice: Avoid this practice entirely. They are not patient focused and the office staff is rude and unwelcoming. This is conveyer belt healthcare at best.

Read 5 star reviews & thought maybe he could help. Came with MRI disc and report hoping for some guidance.
