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. Lauro does AMAZING work
When I went to him in Sept of 2023, I was in a wheelchair unable to walk or stand without excruciating pain as well as my gait being unsteady due to the lack or minimal of bone in my hips. Added to that one knee was bone on bone and the other was on its way so I was mobility challenged. In less than a year I had 2 total hip replacements and 1 knee replacement, I am able to walk and move around smoothly. I am soo Thankful for being referred to Dr. Lauro from my orthopedic surgeon. He is very hands on with the healing process and will answer any question and you can call him or his staff at anytime and receive an answer to your question or a call back. If you are looking for a surgeon for a difficult Hip and Joint surgery Dr. Lauro is the surgeon for you. Look no further.

I highly recommend Dr Lauro.
I had my left hip done by a different Dr. 11 yrs ago the pain and recovery was awful. Took me over 6 mths till I felt normal. Dr Lauro did my right hip last Nov. with in 3 weeks I was walking with no pain or use of a cane or walker. Amazing. And I did at home physical therapy following his instructions. He is very kind and understanding, takes his time to explain things and he has the best PA Emily she is just as awesome. I would never go to anyone else .

Had left knee replacement in November 2022.
I have been a patient of Dr Lauro's since 2016. I had me right knee replaced in 2016 and just had my left knee replaced in November 2022. Dr Lauro is very professional, and he definitely knows what he is doing. I definitely recommend him and his team to anyone that is thinking about having knee replacement surgery.

Not having any major surgery for 78 years I was apprehensive regarding hip replacemant surgery. Dr Lauro set my mind at ease on my initial visit. Because of his confident manner I felt very much at ease that surgery would give me the results I had hoped. He and his staff addressed all of my questions and concerns pre and post op. 4 weeks after the surgery I feel very positive recommending Dr. Lauro as a surgeon.
