  I recommend Dr. Montalbano all the time. In fact he just did a very new procedure on my son (which ..., Mar 16, 2012

Prior to my total knee replacement, the pain level was constantly between a 7-10. I was walking with a cane because my knee was constantly hurting me. Going up and down stairs was almost impossible. I was being woken up during the night from the knee pain and therefore was not getting a restful night’s sleep. I tried to exercise as much as possible but it was difficult. I started to become somewhat of a hermit because when you can’t walk you really can’t do much. I was starting to have to take time off of work because of the pain. Activitites that I lived doing, (dancing, racquet ball, walking) I wasn’t able to do any longer. I have been using Dr. Montalbano for over 10 years. I first saw him at Bayley Seton Hospital when he was taking care of another patient in the pre-op area. I was so impressed with how he was treating that patient that when he left I asked the woman who he was. Later on when I needed an orthopedist I went to see him and have been using him ever since. As far as office staff goes – I have never had a problem. Always courteous, polite, very informative, helpful and respectful of your privacy. (Even though I scheduled surgeries and cancelled them I was always treated the same.) Dr. Montalbano and his staff are always up on the latest surgical techniques, surgical procedures and treatments. Waiting time is usually not too long. When I would call in with any questions, someone always got back to me in a very reasonal amount of time. After finally scheduling the surgery, that I actually went through with, Dr. Montalbano and Michelle Pokrassa (RPA) went over the surgical procedure and any questions I had they went over with me several times until I felt that I was comfortable with the knowledge. The surgery went so much better than expected. I was so frightened of being in the hospital over a weekend but I have to say that the weekend staff was better than the weekday staff. I was very impressed with the surgery
  Excellent Doctor, nice staff and now pain free!!!!!..., Feb 20, 2012

I have been suffering with arthritis and joint pain since l966, when I had a childhood accident and dislocated my hip. After two years of doctors "practicing medicine" and finally taking a simple xray which showed the dislocation, I had my hip joint hastily put back in place with pins. Long story short.....I lost two inches of growth in my right leg during the time of dislocation and had developed scoliosis and other fun joint diseases. Fast forward thirty five years....and years of deterioration, bad limp, pain and arthritic joint disease....I learned of Dr. Greg Montalbano and decided to finally have my hip replaced. It was by far the best decision I have ever made. Dr. Greg calmed my fears, answered all my questions, and after surgery, not only was I pain free....but as an added bonus...my legs were even and I no longer had a limp. It was like winning the lottery. Dr. Montalbano is a caring, wonderful surgeon who has hands of gold. If you are reading this and are contemplating having hip replacement....I would advise you to run (wishful thinking)...not walk and have this truly life changing experience.....To be painfree...ying and yang...is only something shared by other joint disease patients who understand the agony of bone on bone torture. Last year I needed my left hip replaced, and I again enlisted Dr. Montalbano's help. He has always been there to help whenever I called or had a question or concern, and his service and staff are the best I have ever encountered. He is like family now and has given me my life back. I am grateful to Dr. Greg for his kindness, professionalism and skills....and sing his praises wherever I go. Sincerely, Elaine B.
  Poor... He could be a "good" patient. Does not udnerstand simple basics...., Feb 6, 2012

Way too much desire to earn money in practice, and too less commitment for personal growth, education, purification. I know he is a descendent of Asia Minor (Polis, today`s Turkey). I don`t like him at all.
  unresponsive, indifferent medical office with lack of urgency..., Nov 29, 2011

Staff is cold, indifferent, with no sense of urgency. I was extremely concerned about some test results but when I called every few days to ask if they were in, I was made to feel that I was bothering them and there was no attempt to give me an idea of when they would be in, or to expedite results more quickly. I waited a half four to see the doctor, she looked at her watch and made me feel rushed when I was in for the exam. Medical advice seemed reasonable but the lack of urgency or empathy made it a frustrating experience.
  poor psychiatrist will not go back under any circumstances..., Nov 26, 2011

Unless you have addiction problems, I would not see this guy. Maybe he is better with alcoholics. With mental health issues, he is terrible, does not listen, does not care, will not answer your questions, and obviously has many preconceived notions that he is unwilling to explain.
