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.

Long Wait time
I waited over an hour to see him for five minutes and he didn't even apologize for being so late. When I initially saw him he said I had a fractured fibula and a sprained ankle. Now he seems to think my ankle was broken because his resident put that note as the reason for physical therapy. Fortunately for me I don't need to see him again.

I fell and broke my hip. Another hospital was going to send my home with a walker. I argued with them to send me to Pittsburgh. I ended up at UPCM Montefiore. I was assigned to Dr Siska. You could not ask for a better team then them to fix you his bedside manor is wonderful and explains everything to you, Its been a month since I got my total hip replacement and I am walking with a cane. His office staff are wonderful. His Doctor's Assistant is an AWESOME woman. They take their time to help you understand things. They do NOT treat you like a stranger, More like a family member or a friend. I will ALWAY recommend this office, Thank you again Dr. Siska and your staff.

I was in a motorcycle accident, and already had total hip replacements and a plate in right leg. I broke the femor which came out my leg,and broke the other bone also.Tge femor was completely broke out in two places. Also statyered the hip socket. Dr Siska did a remarkable job on me, and I am walking today with a cane, but still walking. I am forever grateful to him and would send anyone to him

I love Dr Siska, he is the best orthopedic dr in Pittsburgh. My husband was in a motorcycle accident and came very close to losing his leg and Dr Siska worked hard at saving it. My husband isn’t a very good patient and Dr Siska was very patient with him. He also replaced my knee and will be replacing my other one. I won’t go to any other orthopedic dr, Dr Siska is just that good and very kind. I recommend him to everyone.

Excellent surgeon! Trauma pt. at Presby and he was my surgeon. It has been 2 years ( broke knee and ankle in a car accident ) and heal time was quick and have had no problems. People actually comment on how they forget my injury due to my mobility.

Patient and understanding of my pain. My THR was a success thanks to Siska. He even did a wall sit with me at my 6 month checkup.
