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.

Appointments are never rushed and he addresses my concerns and explains treatments and options.

Dr Costa took the time to do a thorough exam and to try to understand what was causing my pain. He explained how NSAID's can work differently and their side effects and he ordered more Xrays to pinpoint problem. Office staff was friendly and polite.

Very good. As a new patient I did not know what to expect. The office and staff were very pleasant, and I greatly enjoyed meeting Dr. Costa. He was knowledgeable, interested in my concerns, spent a lot of time with me and our interactions were extremely easy. I look forward to working with him to resolve my physical issues.

Very impressed with Dr Costa. Very thorough in his exam and pinpointing the pain. He asked a lot of questions of me and likewise I asked a lot of question of him. Very straight forward in his diagnosis, which I liked. He fitted me with a new back brace, although cumbersome, it helps a lot! Waiting to hear the results of my recent MRI.

Very thorough doctor. Listen to every comment I had, admitted he would need to think outside the box with me. That something most doctors won’t do. I would call him an anatomy investigator. Kind compassionate, clearly explained everything and took his time.

I am a retired RN. I found Dr. Costa to be excellent in all regards. He was on time and spent all the time I needed to do a thorough history, a complete assessment, an easy to understand explanation of issues and treatment options. He was easily accessible, unhurried and very pleasant with great listening skills. I am very lucky to have him on my team!

I highly recommend Dr. Peter Costa, MD. He is extremely knowledgeable. He is focused and asks pertinent questions, runs tests then explains what is causing your pain in such a way that it is easily understood. He then presents options for your recovery. He is quite pleasant and personable. The office building on Mica Drive has X-ray machines, a MRI machine and any other equipment that might be needed so you don't have to run all over if you need these tests.
