It's a little odd to me to be reviewing a Dr. on Yelp, but here it goes. Dr. Izzo is absolutely…read morefantastic. He is extremely knowledgable, and more so old school in trying to fix the problem, and not jumping into surgical solutions immediately. I've been working with him for 3 months due to plantar fasciitis. He's approach is more old school, but of course tailored to each person. I didn't want to go with shots right out of the gate, I wanted to heal. While it takes some time, his advice, his awesome podiatrist assistant Sue, and his methods are great. If you're having a foot ailment, I highly suggest Dr. Izzo. That is, unless you actually want to have surgery first and questions later!!

I had to repeatedly ask her to clarify what she was telling me. I did not receive any printed information on preparing for this procedure or what to expect or even if I could drive home on my own. In addition, she chastised me when I told her my pain level. Why ask that question if you don't take patients seriously. So I did what healthcare professionals tell us NOT to do, I had to look the information up on the internet. turns out that I do need a driver and a day off work which I did not prepare for. Sad when AI is your only hope. I have been with Excelsior for years and years. The changes that have been made in procedure and healthcare "professionals" are not an improvement for patients. I guess we all have to live with progress now that excelsior is a huge conglomerate and not patient centered. PS c Cori is not the only PA at excelsior who could take lessons from the frontline staff who are kind and respectful. Needless to say I am verry concerned about going through with the procedure.

Prequel - I had one surgery, at a hospital, a year before being made to come here for an unrelated…read moresurgery. For the hospital surgery: no food or water after midnight, be at the hospital at 6am, surgery at 7am. Everything was wonderful. That's what I was expecting would happen here, but what happened here was a nightmare. Issue #1 - They don't tell you what time your surgery is scheduled for - ever. They will text you the day before to tell you what time to BE there, but they do not tell you what time your surgery is scheduled to take place. Issue #2 - They require that you have someone with you, to drive you home afterward; this is understandable but without that person knowing what time your surgery is and what time you're expected to be discharged: they're expected to clear a whole day to be available for a surgery that may only take a half hour. Issue #3 - The 'no food or water after midnight' rule is outdated and untrue. The American Society of Anesthesiologists issued guidelines in 1999, 2011, & 2017 that patients may have clear liquids up to 2 hours before surgery. The old guidelines/rules were invented in the 1950s when pregnant patients were 'anesthetized' with ether on a mask, which caused nausea and for the patient to vomit up their stomach contents. Today, an endotracheal tube is used to prevent this from occurring, so liquids should be allowed up to 2 hours prior to surgery. Issue #4 - Snarky Nurse. I pressed the 'call' button to ask a question - just one question - and I heard her say: 'Ugh, this girl is gonna keep my on my toes!' (Sorry, nurse, to have interrupted your wedding planning conversation to ask you a question, which the intake nurse said I was more than welcome to do as often as I liked. But I've been sitting in a curtained-off room for two and a half hours and no one has given me an update aside from 'It'll be about 45 minutes to an hour until your surgery' - and that was at Noon. It's now 2:30pm, I'm thirsty as hell because I haven't had any water for nearly 13 hours, and I have jack sh*t to do because I was told to not bring any books/phones/valuables - which I suppose is good because I saw some Google reviews where patients woke up to find some of their valuables 'missing'). Issue #5 - The attempted to gaslight me, and offered me unnecessary medication. After I asked: 'How much longer until my surgery?' the Snarky Nurse went and got the anesthesiologist's 'helper / #2 man' who came into my 'room' and told me: 'You're anxious.' I informed him that I was NOT anxious, just irritated that it has been nearly 3 hours since I was checked-in and no one will tell me what time my surgery is going to take place. I had spoken to him earlier, because everyone involved in your care that day will come over and introduce themselves, and that had been the only time I had spoken to him - and I was not anxious then, either. Now, he had no other reason to think otherwise - aside from Snarky Nurse, who likely did not want to 'deal' with me after my one very-normal question. He briefly disappeared, then returned and offered me 'some of the pre-surgery sedation medication to calm you down.' I told him - again - that I was not anxious; that I was mad about the wait time, frustrated about being so thirsty for the past 13 hours, and had no interest in receiving any 'shut up drugs' for simply asking what time my surgery was going to take place. Issue #6 - Overall Wait Time. I waited nearly FOUR HOURS to be taken back to surgery. That's 16 hours of no water, for a person who dehydrates quite easily. Absolutely unacceptable. Issue #7 - Billing. I was required to pre-pay for the surgery, which I did. The young lady I spoke to informed me that I would not receive any further bills or charges from this Center. Months after my surgery, I received a bill for 'anesthesia services' for over $200. This qualifies as a 'Surprise Medical Bill' which I believe violates the 'No Surprises Act' which went into effect on January 1, 2022. And I did report it as such. Issues I've Found by Others - one Google user claims to have gotten a staph infection from this Center. Several Google users have stated that their surgeries were cancelled on them. A couple of Google reviewers stated that they were over-charged by this Center. One person stated that they were man-handled by a nurse after being woken up from anesthesia on the very spot that he had just been operated on. One Last Note - A Boomer-aged woman who works there was having computer issues and was on speakerphone with an IT guy and she kept shouting into the phone: 'IS MY PASSWORD STILL CATHOLIC HEALTH 4 ?!?' Every patient in the pre-op area now knows her password. A password to a computer, within a medical network of computers, that very likely collectively contain the private medical information of many patients. Probably not the smartest thing to be shouting over & over again, when everyone on the floor can hear it.

Nothing but high praise for…read morethose folks I have knee issues from past injuries and was a candidate for total knee replacement (TKR). I went to UBMD Orthopedics Physical Therapy at the Maplemere location to see if I could strengthen the knee to prep for or possibly delay TKR surgery. The UBMD PT department is where I faced issues. At that time, it was difficult to walk stairs or even 50 yards. The young PT I was assigned plugged me into a "one size fits all" rehab program. It did not help that my PhD therapist was impersonal, distracted & inattentive, and his subordinates did most of my therapy that he designed. The exercise program I was given made my pain much worse, decreased my mobility and was generally detrimental even after 6 months of dedicated effort on my part. I was getting discouraged. My knee got so painful from the assigned UBMD PT, I developed fluid in the knee joint and required multiple cortisone shots. Out of necessity, I ditched about 2/3 of the exercises I was given and all of the weighted exercises from UBMD PT and pivoted to body weight squats, knee stretching, yoga, walking & banded leg work. I borrowed from my boxing and martial arts experience from many decades ago emphasizing rotational knee movements, feints, front to back and side to side stepping. My knee slowly responded to my own custom designed PT treatment, and today I can walk stairs without issue, walk a mile, have minimal to no knee pain, no fluid on the knee and have not required any cortisone shots since early in 2025 which was from the UBMD PT exercises. I also don't require TKR at this time. Another UBMD PT issue is their glacial response time to calls for appointments - 2 weeks plus in my experience. The final issue at the new UBMD ortho office on Maplemere is the parking lot design - it's a miserable set up. The long, wide grassy "berms" installed in the parking lot present a dangerous maze to ortho patients who can have issues just navigating flat pavement. UBMD ortho should add flat "walk throughs" in those berms.

I saw Dr Michael Freitas for a condition I've had for over a year. This review is specifically for…read morehim, because I was here last year to see another Doctor for another issue and that whole team was awesome. In a nutshell: my shin & ankle & foot (all on my left leg) feel like they're filling up with gas in the same way that your knuckles do when they feel like they need to be cracked. Except it had been getting worse, going from 'occasional' to 'every day, all day.' I'd take 20-30 steps and my whole left leg would sort of stiffen and it would be painful to walk unless I stopped and 'cracked' my shin, ankle, & foot. So I saw Dr Michael Freitas after being x-rayed. I showed him my walk and let him hear the cracking, and I had even printed out a diagram of the leg & foot and highlighted the areas that I was experiencing issues and pain. He said, very nicely, that "nothing was wrong" with me. Oh. So it's normal to have to stop ever 20-30 steps? Okay, then, cool? Also: how could he see and hear what I was talking about and *still* decide that nothing was wrong with me? And I am not a doctor, but the areas that I highlighted on the diagram are TENDONS, not bones. You CANNOT SEE TENDONS ON AN X-RAY, Dr. Freitas. You should listen to your patients, especially if they come in prepared. I *knew* the tendons would not have been visible on the x-ray, but instead of listening to me he decided the x-ray was 'proof' that I was a-okay. It has been a nearly a year since that appointment and my left leg is STILL doing this, every single day and night, all day and night. But, no worries! Dr. Freitas says this is normal!
