My experience with Dr. Girasole was nothing less than life changing. I had tremendous pain in my neck and stopped doing routine tasks. One of the most gifted surgeons I have ever met. I had a serious spinal cord compression and needed a two level spinal fusion. Excellent staff as well. I can not thank him or his staff enough.

My experience with Dr. Girasole was horrible. Arrogant, bad temper, condescending. This MD may be knowledgeable but has zero patient skill. I would recommend he be avoided at all cost.

Thank you, Dr.Girasole! I fell off a cliff and severely fractured my back. Major surgery was arranged in two days with a very successful outcome. The doctor was very confident in his ability to restore my health,
and kept me well informed. I would recommend him to anyone.

A wonderful doctor, with good communication skills, but most important a great surgeon. Recommended by my sister, and several others, they were right.

Dr. Girasole is a wonderful competent doctor and surgeon. I am 3 months out from having a lumbar fusion due to spondylolisthesis. I feel fantastic with virtually zero pain. I have recommended Dr Girasole to many people. Feel confident with him as your orthopedic he knows his stuff. Exercising afterwards makes a huge difference in recovery, it's incredibly important.

I have to say Thank You!!!! to Dr. Girasole. i went to him with constant pain down my legs. He found the problem, took the steps to avoid surgery, but then we ended up there or else a life of drugs and potential paralysis. He did the surgery and saved my life. If I had to come up with a short list of people I'd want with me in battle, Dr. Girasole would be on the list. Someone who takes charge and does what needs to get done and does it right.

I had a a problem with my neck and went to see other Dr,s who really didn't explain my condition or help my problem. Several of my co-workers referred me to Dr Girasole because he was very helpful to them. I was very impressed with Dr Girasole and his staff. He was extremely through and knowledgeable about my problem and came up with a treatment plan that has really helped me!! I would highly recommend him and felt he was very sincere and straight to the point.

I was having severe back and leg pain. It was very difficult for me to get up from a sitting
position. I went to see Dr.Girasole he listened to my complaint, did x-rays and he explained my condition, I had a slippage of my verterbrae. He ordered an MRI of my back and then called me with the results. Dr. Girasole was precise in his diagnosing of my symptons and explained everthing in detail. Dr Girasole then referred me to his associate for an injection. His staff was efficient in ordering my MRI and scheduling my injection. I am now pain free.

After reading the other comments it appears that I would sound redundant. Therefore, I will only venture to say that everything below is accurate. If negative star ratings were available he and his office staff would have them from me. He lacks everything that most people would require from a physician. Very unfortunate I would not recommend him at all.

Dr Girasole was easily the most condescending, dismissive, arrogant, unhelpful doctor I have ever encountered. It was stunning because other doctors in this practice have been great. Dr Girasole gave a minimal assessment of my history and symptoms, didn't read my paperwork, barely glanced at my MRI results. He rushed through the appointment as quickly as he could, not interested in explaining anything to me or answering my questions or concerns. Hands down the most uncaring, uninterested, arrogant doctor I have ever seen. Perhaps he would have been more interested if I had been a surgical candidate. Save yourself time and money and look elsewhere for someone who actually cares about helping people.
