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. Passanise is a Wonderful!! Wonderful Doctor!! Had a shoulder replacement. I was in so much pain and couldn't move my whole arm, but after surgery I had very little pain ( I did use ice packs all day long and it kept my pain down) even my scar looks great! Now four months later I can use my arm with no pain I can reach above my head to the side and in front of my body..Dr. Passanise takes great pride in her patients she stays with you from the start and to the end of your recovery. I'm giving her 5 stars but I would give her 10 stars..I highly recommend dr. Passanise and her staff (which are wonderful as Dr. Passanise.)

Dr Passanise and Staff Reverse Shoulder
Dr Passanise and staff were pleasant. They were all very proffesional and offered assistance by phone, email or in person. They were prompt to call back to answer questions. (this includes Dr. Passanise) Dr Passanise gave preoperative instructions that help with your surgery and recovery. She explained the surgery, presurgery and post surgery.

Great experience despite a bad break I had
Broke my ankle in three places playing pickleball. Dr. Passanise was very good from first meeting through post surgery. She took the time to explain the procedure she was going to do and answered all of my questions. I called after surgery and she was very responsive and called me back in a timely manner. She works out of two offices making it convenient if you live in St. Charles, O'Fallon or Wentzville area. I highly recommend her; she is the 3rd orthopedic doctor I have dealt with and she is my top choice if I have to go back for anything else, which given my age and lifestyle, it is very likely.

Knee surgery
Dr. Passanise repaired my meniscus on September 18, 2024. I was in a great deal of pain before surgery. When we met for the first time, she came into the room and gave me all the time I needed. I asked for physical therapy, and she got it for me. During my two post-operation visits, the Doctor was on time and once again gave me the time I wanted. The Doctor spent time with my wife after the surgery. I would highly recommend Dr. Passanise.

Meniscus tear repair
My experience with Dr. Passanise could not have gone better...she was kind, professional and thoroughly explained the procedure and images taken. The procedure went perfectly, and her staff made me very comfortable. Healing was swift, and she was very available for any questions afterwards. I highly recommend Dr. Passanise!

Bicep tear & shoulder injury
In my opinion Dr. Angela Passanise is the best Orthopedic Surgeon you could ever be so lucky to have . I will be honest and tell you that I was a little unsure when I was referred to her by my regular Orthopedic surgeon, but within five minutes of visiting with her she made me feel like I was part of her family. She walked me through every step of the bicep repair and spent whatever time it took to answer all my questions even some not related to the surgery. This surgeon does way more than just surgery. She helped me with scheduling physical therapy when I couldn’t get in anywhere, she took care of insurance issues, she checked on me on the weekends, and she recently performed a knee replacement on my 85 year old mother and treated her exactly the same as she did me. She even gave me updates when my mother’s surgery started and when she was done, along with pictures of the new knee. She does everything thing for you . I strongly recommend her. Thank you very much Dr Passanise!!

Shoulder Replacement
Dr. Passanise Had my right shoulder surgery replacement. She is very a pleasant person I had no doubt about her ability to fix my shoulder. Her whole team were wonderful. I would have her do the other shoulder if I ever needed it.

Excellent Dr. and Surgeon
Dr. Passanise went above and beyond my expectations by checking on me over the weekend and days, after I developed a rash around my surgical site. She gave me information I needed, listened to me and was there for me throughout my surgery and healing from a total knee replacement. She listened to me, as well as helped me understand the healing process. I am very impressed with her work and her care for her patients.

Thorough, Informed and Caring
Dr. Passanise performed a B.E.A.R. implant on my torn ACL and was in a word- superb! Thoughtfully explained my options, educated me as to the procedure, recovery, surgery, etc. Her follow through was top notch and I would highly recommend her (and have) for any orthopedic needs.

I whole-heartedly recommend Dr. Angela Passanise.
It was the luck of the draw- Dr. Passanise was on call when I went to the ER. It sure was Good Luck for me! I couldn't have picked a better surgeon. I have no doubts about her surgical skill & talent. My shoulder replacement was a bit of a miracle because my broken shoulder was shattered into many pieces. Not an easy fix. Now it works just fine! The faint incision scar looks good. It healed well with no thickening or mobility constraints. She does good work.I felt respected & cared for in all our interactions. Dr. P has a quiet & reassuring empathy without being effusive. She is confident, realistic & honest. She clearly & thoroughly explained what I needed to do before & after surgery. She answered my many questions. During my post-surgery recovery she stayed involved & responsive to my concerns during follow-up visits. She continues to be informative & encouraging. Dr. P went above & beyond the basics. She didn't just repair my shoulder- she took care of all of me.

Very pleased with service and procedure outcome
Dr. Passanise was understanding about my concerns for the surgical process as well as how it may impact my recreational and family life. She was equal parts personable and professional. Glad to have a surgeon like her nearby and in my medical network. Only negative was a long wait at the surgical center, but this was due to situation outside of her control with other patients in the OR.

Can’t say enough good things
We had a wonderful experience. Dr. Passanise clearly cares about her patients, and will fight for them and what they need. She always listened carefully to our questions, provided us with clear explanations, and let us see what she was describing on X-rays. She gave us options and was willing to do what she could to help. She also followed up multiple times outside of our appointments and made us feel comfortable and in the loop. Our loved one is medically fragile and she did an amazing job helping him heal and keeping him safe during the entire process.

Skilled and caring doctor
I think highly of Dr Passanise and recommend her to friends often. I went to her with extremely painful shoulders which she diagnosed as advanced osteoarthritis that would need replacement. I told her I wasn’t willing to have surgery and left. A month later I returned and she graciously re-explained my condition to my wife and me and I made the decision to go ahead with surgery. The procedure went smoothly and I have no complaints. I’m grateful for her skill and was pleased with her readiness to help me and my wife, especially during the weekend just after surgery. The pain that plagued me for years left and has never returned - not even momentarily.
