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 have been seeing Dr. Zitello for over 12 years. I see him mainly for the painful conditions of sciatica, spinal stenosis & neuropathy. He has helped me to understand these conditions and what to do (and not to do) about them. "Dr. Z" is a very caring physician and I give him my highest recommendation(s).

I have been seeing Dr. Zitello for over 14 years. He has done everything humanly possible to manage my pain that developed after spinal surgery. It frustrating for patient and doctor alike to deal with unremitting pain. His experience provides him with the ability to suggest a variety of procedures, methods and medication to improve quality of life for his patients. Yes, he is without a doubt one of the most compassionate and genuine physicians in our area.

I found Dr. Zitello to be knowledgeable and compassionate. He took the time to inform himself about my medical condition prior to talking to me before the procedure. He explained the procedure and what to expect after and in the next several weeks. Dr. Zitello answered all my questions. He put me at ease. The procedure went well. Thank you to Zitello and the kind, competent professionals at the Outpatient Surgery Center.
