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 known Dr. Scilaris for 23 years and he treated me after a head on collision in 2002 for a torn meniscus. He was very attentive and today, I walk 5-7 miles M-F at 73 years of age!

I have known Dr. Scilaris since he started his practice. I am a former OR Nurse of over 40 years, who also had the pleasure of being his Nurse at times over the years. Dr. Scilaris is incredibly compassionate, a fabulous diagnostician and an excellent surgeon! One who truly cares about you. My mistake, I was not aware he accepted my insurance. After 6 years of pain & incompetent docs. Dr. Scilaris operated on me yesterday. I am a new woman!!! I can now stand up, sit down, sleep and just live with no knee pain! He is also my WC Dr and will be operating on both my shoulders. I have no fear at all. He will and has already decreased my pain so I can breathe. I highly recommend him to everyone. His entire team at the office and the surgi center I went to are FABULOUS!

I have used Dr. Scilaris for many surgeries with great results. A remarkable ACL repair was 4 months from surgery to full activity.
