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.

Best Wrist Surgeon
Dr. Esposito was very kind and had excellent bedside manner! My surgery went very smoothly and my scar won’t even be noticeable in a few years. She listened to my concerns and needs and gave me a great experience!

Office Visit
My latest visit to Dr Esposito was to determine what course of action we should take based upon my particular situation. A decision was agreed upon by both she and I and I am satisfied with that decision. Dr Esposito is a caring person who does not try to push the patient into doing something that may be unnecessary. I would highly recommend her!

The entire team at Emerge was great when dealing with my son and his wrist fracture. Dr. Esposito, her PA Nick, and the cast and radiology technicians were all top notch.

Clear, Concise, Compassionate
I felt Dr. Esposito truly listened as I described the reason for my visit. I was seen in a timely manner, but still treated as if were the only patient of the day. Questions were direct and explanations were clear and concise - neither 'dumbed-down' nor sugar-coated. Dr. Esposito recommended a course of care, asked my opinion on some components, and explained the 'why' behind the reasoning. I left feeling heard, cared for, and optimistic for recovery.

Respectful of My Time
This was my first experience using EmergeOrtho, after having not great experiences with another orthopedist in Wilmington. The office was like an ant hill when I arrived for my appointment at 9 am — busy! I was concerned about moving through this appointment as quickly as possible because I had another appointment two hours later. I let the staff know, and once my x-rays were done, Dr. Esposito was quick to see me. I made it to my next appointment 15 minutes early. This NEVER happened with the previous orthopedist; in fact, even the most basic visits there took 3 or more hours every time. Thank you, Dr. Esposito!

Professional & Knowledgeable
She was born knowledgeable and willing to field my questions. The assessment could have been done via the portal because she had already seen the X-rays, but that’s probably not the standard procedure.
