Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Alfred Ciraldo, I trust him completely!
I've been a patient of Dr. A. Ciraldo's hfor about 25yrs. and total of three surgeries (intestinal surgery in early 1990s, three tumors removed from under left arm in 2015 and gallbladder removed in 2016. He also did gallbladder surgery for my daughter and two surgeries for my son in law. Dr. Ciraldo is all around the best doctor ever from his bed side manor to, knowledge, professional, kindness and understanding. As of Nov. 2024, is he still in practice? I can't locate him; I need to set up an appointment with him. Summa said he is no longer there and will not give me any information.

Dr. Ciraldo is an excellent doctor. He cares about the whole patient. You are cared for. He will ask you if something hurts. Like when he drains fluid out, did that hurt. No, I say, because he is so good at his job.He truely cares about his patients, he does NOT try to hurry up and get you out in 5 minutes. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking. I am very very pleased.

Dr Ciraldo was my mother's surgeon. He was so phenomenal with her. When I needed to see a surgeon he was on the top of the list.

Fantastic Doctor- Highly Recommend
Dr. Ciraldo recently performed a Laparoscopic Cholecystectomyy (Gallbladder Removal) for me. I was in the ER on a Sunday due to severe pain. After tests were run they discovered that I had gallstones and I would need to schedule a later surgery. I looked up the doctors at Summa and saw that one of his specialties was the Gallbladder. They were able to get me in by Tuesday and once the doctor was aware I was in pain, he acted with great urgency. He had me come in even earlier then my scheduled appointment and when we agreed to surgery, he and his staff worked to get me in asap. Originally I was scheduled for the next Monday but they were able to get me in on a Friday and he even worked his lineup to put me first. Dr. Ciraldo was beyond knowledgeable, and answered every question in a way that gave me confidence in his abilities. I couldn’t be happier with him and his staff. I would happily recommend him to my friends and loved ones.

Had my hernia repaired. No problem getting an appointment and no problem scheduling surgery. Felt I was in excellent hands. Obviously a very experienced surgeon that I would use again and would recommend highly.
