Dr. Vacchio diagnosed my prostate cancer and did prostatectomy on March 5, 2025. Surgery couldn’t have gone any better. Thoroughly recovered in 5 weeks. PSA level less than 0.1 now. A big thank you to Dr. Vacchio.Bob D’Angelo

Review for Dr. Farrell II

I had a fall and needed surgery on my neck. Not only is he an excellent dr but also kind and compassionate! His NP Mary Jo is also excellent, and very compassionate. His office staff from check in, X-ray, and nurses are all fantastic. Highly recommended him if you need surgery.
