Russ made me feel very comfortable and taken care of. He was very gentle handed when putting in my IV and walked me through everything. Thanks so much for everything!!

He was easy to talk to on the phone and in person and answered all my questions. Before surgery he was kind and comforting, walking me through each step while having a nice conversation. He made me feel safe and comfortable. Very happy with my experience and would highly recommend to anyone.

Russ administered anesthesia at my recent surgery. He immediately helped me to feel comfortable with his bedside manner and high level of competency. He assured I was well cared for through the entire experience.

Very caring demeanor, and very gentle. Anticipated all my questions and answered in depth. I hope I get him next time as well

Rosario called the night before and came in the day of to answer questions and was very reassuring of the process!

It was easy. I can't remember going under and I didn't feel groggy when I woke up. I would totally go with him again.

Really surprised he called me the night before and talked with me about my history and what to expect with my general anesthetic.I was worried about grogginess, that hung over me for days, I had experienced in the past with anesthesia.I was so alert and clear headed this time and no problems.The surgeon I had highly recommended this anesthesiologist to and I could understand now why he spoke highly of him.

This was my first time undergoing general anesthesia, to say I was nervous is an understatement. Russ had excellent bedside manner and I was comfortable and pain free the entire time. He called me the day before surgery to answer any and all of my questions, as well as on the day of surgery during pre-op. I would highly recommend him and trust his medical expertise.

Best anesthesiologist ever! I had a wonderful experience with him. He made me feel comfortable from start to finish. My surgery went perfectly and he played a big part in it. I’m extremely grateful for his lovely bedside manner and expertise.

Rosario was very friendly and reassuring as well as thorough. He made me comfortable about the procedure.

Anesthesiologist Russ was wonderful, great bedside manner. Called me the night before to review general question in preparation. The day of surgery he was very calming and walked me through the steps till I was "asleep".

Russ administer my anesthesia on 3/23/22. Throughout the process he made sure I understand the procedure, he was responsive, and answered all the questions I had. The procedure went smoothly with no pain afterwards .

Rosario was very open and explained the details of going under anesthesia and answered all my questions. Easy recovery…

Russ called me the night before my elective surgery and I immediately felt confident with him. He explained everything in detail, very reassuringly. On the day of surgery, he was most compassionate and caring, telling me everything he would do. I woke up without the grogginess I have had in the past. Russ checking with me the evening of my surgery to see how I was feeling. I highly recommend him, without hesitation!

Russ was very considerate, thoughtful, competent and trustworthy. I was completely at ease knowing he was doing my anesthesia. He even called me about 6 hours later, to see how I am doing. 5 stars!

Established expectations, great communication, helped reduce my anxiety. Very nice bedside manner!

I was very nervous to have anesthesia for the first time. Mr. Rosario Maiolino was outstanding at administering the anesthesia. He was very attentive and was helpful at calming my nerves and explaining everything. I’m thankful that all the nurses and doctor worked so well together. If I have to have any additional surgeries in the future I hope he is my anesthesiologist.
