Dr. Peter Roman, MD

Dr Roman is a highly qualified and skilled orthopedic surgeon. He has the ability to offer alternative options and personalize the care he provides. He can do any procedure and do it safely and skillfully! Highly Recommend!!

I felt like Dr Roman couldn’t have been bothered to speak to me, he never asked any questions about my pain or where it hurt, he told me it was arthritis and I had no fracture, he gave me a thumb splint which hadn’t improved the pain at all. I went to MGH yesterday for a 2nd opinion and they listened to me and examined my hand (none of which Dr Roman did) and they did further X-rays based on my complaints and found that I have a left trapezium fracture. I am extremely frustrated with the lack of caring/listening he did and I felt/feel extremely disrespected by him while I was there.

I went to Dr. Roman for a follow-up about a knee injury I sustained a few months ago. I had had an x-ray at a different office that didn't show a break, so I needed an MRI. Dr. Roman walked in, laughed at me for wearing a knee brace, and treated me like a child. He didn't even look at my knee. I was (and am) in tons of pain for SURPRISE, what turned out to be real damage done to my meniscus. He told me "don't sit down too much, don't stand up too much" and to take ibuprofen. I told him that's not possible because I work in the service industry and the ibuprofen won't touch my pain. He brushed me off and sent me on my way. I cried in the front office because I had never been treated so poorly by a doctor and just wanted someone to listen to me. I've since found another doctor that listened to my concerns, examined my knee and MRI and suggested surgery.

Thankful to have had Dr. Roman treat our son's injury in the emergency room. Clearly explained the injury, the procedure needed, performed the procedure with care and a thorough explanation. Communicated well with my son and was a calming influence.

Had a heel fracture and he did surgery right away. Very professional, very personable, and very upfront with what was to happen next. If it weren't for him, I would not be walking today.

My son broke 3 bones in his foot.VERY judgemental about his past med history.Never even looked at updated medications.He did not even give pain meds because he thougt he was on meds that were discontinued and commented "Your on enough stuff then turned his back on him".About a month after he called to see if he could have physical therapy and Dr. Roman said walk up and down the street.my son had to go to primary to get an order for PT. Roman would not even let him make an appt.Shame on him!!!!!

My son needed surgery on collar bone. He was staying in the area for Hockey, originally from Florida. Dr. Roman, was just awesome, spoke to us over the phone explaining the procedure, got my son in for surgery less than 48 hours. He has great bed side manner. Highly recommend him.

Dr. Roman performed my knee replacement surgery . I found him to be thorough and explained the procedure and what to expect. I find Dr. Roman to be no nonsense, he get right to the point, and knows what is the best way to proceed for the best outcome. Outstanding orthopedic surgeon.

friendly, thorough
