Dr. Puccioni has performed surgery on both of my children. We traveled a long distance to see Dr. Puccioni and our surgical results have been life changing. He is a highly skilled surgeon with an an amazing bedside manner. Our surgical outcomes have far surpassed anything we could have imagined. We will forever be thankful to Dr. Puccioni and his staff.

Doctor Puccioni only cares about children he thinks he can save. If the child has an illness that is considered terminal, he treats you (as the family) like you're wasting his time, and he doesn't try to hide it. He is a very rude person with no tact, and will phrase things in ways that are extremely distressing simply because he can. Because he knows that assaulting a procession while on duty is a felony.
He treats the patient like a pack of expiring meat, rather than a human being, and that is just unacceptable, especially when your family is already dealing with so much grief. This man should not be allowed to practice medicine.

Dr. Puccioni is one of the best neurosurgeons in the area. He performed a life-saving procedure on me when I was younger and he has always been extremely helpful in giving me new information about my procedure. His bedside manner was second-to-none and I would highly recommend him for any type of procedure.

Wonderful doctor that removed my daughter's brain tumor and had a great bed side manner that made you feel that you could ask him any question. We were very satified with his care and patients with all our questions. Would highly recommend him for any pediatric care.

AT FIRST, HE STARTED OFF GREAT. VERY PERSONABLE. HE DID SURGERY ON MY NECK, AND AFTER THAT JT ALL WENT DOWNHILL. HE DISMISSED ME FROM THE HOSPITAL THE NEXT DAY. AFTER CERVICAL FUSION. DID NOT TAKE ANY TIME TO DUSCUSS AFTERCARE. TOLD ME TO RESUME ALL ACTIVITIES AS USUAL, EVEN DRIVING. sURGERY WAS A FAILURE, i BELIEVE, BECAUSE i TOOK HIM AT HIS WORD AND DID NOT EXERCISE 'COMMON SENSE' DID ALL ACTIVITIES AS USUAL. AFTER DISCUSSING THIS SURGERY WITH OTHERS WHO HAD THE SAME, THEY TOLD ME THEIR DOCTORS, MADE THEM FOLLOW A STRICT, REGIME OF NOT DOING ANYTHING TO DUSTURB THE FUSION FOR A MINIMUM OF 90 DAYS. WHEN I QUESTIONED HIM LATER AND ASKED HIM TO FILL OUT DISABILITY PAPERS, HE REFUSED, AND BECAME ANGRY, THAT IWOULD EVEN ASK. LATER, I REQUESTED MY MEDICAL RECORDS FOR ANOTHER DOCTOR, IN HIS NOTES,HE MADE A VERY DEROGATIVE STATEMENT ABOUT ME,SAYING I WAS UNCOOPERATIVE.HE BLANTALY LIED ABOUT ME, ABOUT MY CONDITION AND ALLOWING ME TO RESUME ALL ACTIVITIES, JUST TO COVER HIS OWN SKIN.
