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.

I unfortunately was hit by a vehicle as a bicycle rider. I was happy to have Dr Pizzarello as he assured me I would get better with hard work. He never rushed me out of the room answering all my questions. I want to thank him for truly caring about me.

I’m a returning patient of Dr. Pizzarello. He’s a kind, gentle, patient Dr. who takes time to listen to all of your questions and clearly addresses each one. The Dr. led me to full recovery of 26 years of knee pain and I’m pain free and living my best life. I highly recommend Dr. Pizzarello to everyone with joint pain.

Thorough Professional Kind
As a returning patient I am most impressed with the professional kindness Dr Pizzarello displays. The staff is respectful as well.I was very grateful with the scheduling of surgery and the overall experience. As an FYI it has been 13 months since lady knee replacementand I am pain free in that knee after years of intense pain. I now need a right knee replacement and am scheduling replacement as we speak. Dr Pizzarello is awesome and surgically gifted. Great human interaction as well.

Dr. Pizzarello is excellent
I am very impressed with Dr. Pizzarello and his team. Dr. Pizzarello was quick to see us each time we went. He was friendly and open to questions. He explained what he would do. His staff were all helpful. His nurse navigator Lauren was incredible. She was able to answer all questions and always returned my calls the same day. She kept me from feeling over whelmed. Everyone in his office made my knee replacement so easy. They took care of everything and were constantly in touch with information. When I need my second knee replacement I will definitely be back to Dr. Pizzarello and his staff.

Amazing experience
First of all the building was stunning. I went for what I thought was hip pain, turns out it was caused by my back. After xrays Dr Pizzarello explained in simple terms at detail all about my condition. What we were going to do and steps to follow. My son and I both commented how impressed we were with the doctor, nurse , xray tech and everyone else we came in contact with. Good bedside manner as well as customer service.

Right Knee Pain – Aug 24, 2024
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Pizzarello?
Knee pain visit.
I found Dr Pizzarello to be very professional and knowledgeable. He took one look at my x-rays and diagnosed that my problem was bone spurs and a touch of arthritis in my knee. (I was pretty sure I had damaged my lateral meniscus… and was relieved that it wasn’t.)Very satisfied with the speed and thoroughness of the whole process. I would recommend.

This office is very efficient. Very little wait time until a medical staffer showed me to the examination room. He affirmed the information I had given about my condition and x-ray findings. Dr. Pizzarello came in shortly thereafter and gave me his diagnosis. I had limited options and chose to get the injection recommended. Although my visit was only about 40 minutes, all of my questions were answered. The visit was not hurried. I received instructions, a prescription, and a scheduled appointment for six weeks later. I am hopeful for progress in the interim and continuing medical care from Dr. Pizzarello in the future. My next appointment is for the Providence Office, I hope their medical facility is as clean, bright, and well staffed as the Warwick Office. Dr. Pizzarello has my confidence and recommendation.
