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.

That he listened to my problems with kindness and consideration.

Highly recommend, attentive to patient concerns
From pre surgery details to post surgery concerns they are attentive to all of the patient's needs & questions throughout the entire procedure. This aided me for a quicker, less painful recovery, getting me back to my normal everyday routines in life. It was a much less stressful event thanks to the care they give.

Great Surgeon with a great team!
Dr. Carangelo is an awesome Doctor and Surgeon. He cares about his patients, and is very skilled at Hip Replacements, which is what I had. My surgery went without a hitch, and I am now living pain-free. His staff is also top-notch. I have never had a bad experience with Dr. Carangelo or his medical team. They are all super!

Couldn't be happier
Dr Carangelo did both my TKRs 12 weeks apart and both times were great! I am a bigger guy, was bone on bone in both knees and couldn't walk anymore. Dr. Carangelo listened to my concerns about the surgeries and answered all my questions. I put in the post op work/exercises and was diligent about my PT appointments, and I couldn't have ended up in this good a place if it wasn't for Dr. Carangelo and his staff. The experience at the Bone and Joint Center was also outstanding.

Top Notch Orthopedic Surgeon!
Dr. Carangelo was interested in learning more about my rare condition. He listened to me explain what I was concerned about and he assured me that he would take it into consideration during my surgery. I felt that he was very competent, well informed and talked to me in terms that anon=medical person could understand.

Excellent surgeon, caring person
Excellent surgeon who did my total hip replacement almost three months ago. As busy as he is, he always makes the time to answer questions and give helpful hints to speed the recovery time. He is always in a good mood and is genuinely happy to see his patients. The patients in the waiting room are eager to share their experiences with him and give raving reviews to first timers waiting for their first consult. Bone and Joint is a fantastic facility to have your surgery. Top notch skilled and caring professionals made the experience one I’ll never forget. Dr. Carangelo’s Force ‘system’ checks in with you through daily emails and encourages you to email their team with any questions or problems you encounter both before and after your surgery. They respond the same day ( within hours mostly) with information, suggestions, prescriptions, etc. to help you better manage your surgical experience. Thank you Dr. Carangelo, Amy, and staff for making a major surgery a little less frightening.

Very personable and thorough
When I was referred to Dr Carangelo for hip replacement surgery, I was nervous. I have never had any major surgery. After my first appointment with Dr Carangelo, it made me feel more at ease and his whole care team were with me through the whole process. The app is a great tool to follow. I would recommend Dr Carangelo if any hip/knee replacement needs to be done

The only orthopedic surgeon for me and my family!
I have been a patient of Dr. Carangelo since 2004; I have had three arthroscopic procedures and both total knee replacements. He is the most sociable physician I have ever had. He does not rush through patient visits, he takes time with each patient to ensure they understand what was discussed and answers all their questions; never rushing them. I live one hour away from his office and would not consider any other orthopedic surgeon! I recommended him to my son for a partial knee replacement and arthroscopy procedures and other family members as well.
