Dr. D has done 2 of my previous 3 knee operations. He did a great job repairing my acl and is very friendly. I am actually seeing him to clean up my other knee because of on-going pain. Even though its been 13 years since he did my knee, I still trust him to do a great job!

warning, do not use this doctor for shoulder ops, he did my shoulder and it turned out to be a mess. Needed to get another op later on to fix his mess. this guy had not right doing this op in the 1st place. I was told be the next doctor this guy really didn't know what he was doing.

I am in the medical field and would especially not recommend going to him if you have something that is not a standard case. I feel that all he knows is knees and the elderly. Would not recommend him to other people. Spoke with a physical therapist who would also agree with this opinion.

The above feels like it was written by his staff.I'm sorry, but what you call a waiting room,I call a factory. Maybe he just doesn't like handicapped patients. The pain was so bad he did an MRI and said everything was fine...get some physical therapy. I still can't believe that was his response...I could stand it and that was his response. I saw the staff treating some patients very nicely, but maybe I was the wrong color or not as healthy because they lied outright and got nasty when I said that can't be true. I mean nasty. I spent the next two weeks trying to get my records!!!

One of the best doctor's I've ever been to. He is very friendly, takes time to explain things, and will even make drawings to help provide a better picture. He performed surgery on my torn meniscus (woke up and walked out) and I went back for a tear in my shoulder (although he is a knee specialist). Go to Dr. D if you can!

Dr. D'Agostino reconstructed both of my ACLs (Allografts) and he did a great job. He is the type of doctor that actually listens to his patients. A very likable professional who is tops in his field. You may wait an hour in the waiting room, but you can be sure you will get the time you deserve during your consult too. Consider yourself lucky if he is in your plan.
