I was referred to Dr. DeSimone by a friend for knee surgery and I can without reservation say he is the best at what he does. From his office staff, his assistants Eric and Paul, and the fantastic physical therapists that he has working for him I was provided first class service before, during and after my knee surgery. Dr. Desimone took the time to personally see me on every pre-op and post-op visit that I had at his office. I never felt like he was in a rush to get to the next patient. On the contrary, he took the time to sit and talk during every visit and acted more like a concerned friend than just my doctor. I think the biggest compliment I can give to him and his practice are the friends of mine that I have referred to them since as I know they will also get the first class service that I received. Thanks Dr. D and staff for getting me running again. - George
