  Great attention! She is very kind and her staff too..., Apr 7, 2012

I was refered by a friend. I got lost and i was late, i called them and they told me how to get there very nicely. I didnt wait that much in the waiting room. Her staff is very helpfull and professional. When she entered the room she quickly ask me what i had and review it. She called another doctor to have a second agree for what she thought i had. I got dizzy she quickly lay me over and gave me a candy. I dont know what i have in my neck, they need to have the test answers. She is great! i recomend her to all of you!! :)
  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.
  Hour and a half wait, 90 seconds of diagnosis and misery....., Feb 9, 2012

I blame myself for going to this Dr. a second time. He is very rude and has you waiting in an exam room for nearly as long as in the waiting room. The man is obnoxious and presumes to diagnose your syptoms with 2 or 3 questions and without a thorough exam. His staff is unhelpful and appear to fear the Dr. No bedside manner whatsoever. There is more warmth from an emergency room than in this office. Stay away !
  Nice lady, but nice doesn't count to your medical wellbeing. ..., Jan 24, 2012

Nice lady, but... lacks experience and concrete experience. Great at giving referrals and free prescription pills. Definitely has an arrogant and condescending attitude. Office staff isn't that helpful or welcoming either.
  Problem solvers - no nonsense and efficient with up to date care..., Jan 17, 2012

They don't mess around - found my problem quickly and got me on the path to recovery quickly. No nonsense. They return phone calls and even emails. Their website is helpful with many educational articles
