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 |

Savvy Marketing Machine - not what you want if you are looking for a Doctor though......, Mar 12, 2012 I posted a FACTUAL negative review of Dr Kordonowy a week ago. He pulled it down almost as fast as it was published! AMAZING!! In conversations with multiple patients, I have found several examples, from several patients, where Dr Kordonowy prescribed inappropriate medications for a given medical condition. My dad sees a VA doctor, and had - until recently, been seeing Dr Kordonowy. Dr K- has several times prescribed pills and creams that were deemed inappropriate by his VA doctors. One thing that Dr Kordonowy excels at is billing - and for an extra $1500 you can get him to actually VISIT you in the hospital if you get sick. Otherwise, you're on your own. This guy is a fraud. |

After a visit to Dr. Albas office I ended up in the ER with pneumonia ..., Feb 26, 2012 Saw Dr. Alba for what I thought was a chest cold. He gave me 5 minutes of his time and said I should take the antibiotic her wrote. I thought that it was strange that he really didnt allow me more time. 2 days later I was in the ER with pneumonia. I was told that I probably was sick for over a week with it. I will not go back to See Dr. Alba. |

Offensive Staff, Rude, Unprofessional...Please do not go to this doctor!..., Jan 16, 2012 I have never been treated with such disrespect ever. There is a youong girl that works there I am not sure if she is an intern or what, but she is extremely rude and hangs up on people if she doesn't like what your saying. I thought doctors staff were suppose to be courteous, I guess I was wrong. Don't be fooled by their facade, the staff is obsurdely fake and don't care for the well being of anyone. |
