The surgery itself went great, but a year later you can expect to receive several letters at your home regarding money you owe even though you paid your "balance" in full prior to the surgery beginning. Now Crovetti and all his little "helpers" want to claim more money after the fact, almost an entire 12 months after the surgery has been completed even though my insurance already took care of everything.

Dr. Crovetti performed a knee replacement on me in January. He did not do the original knee surgery. He is the best of the best!! It's not just his fine surgical skills but the follow up and recovery protocols are well planned out. All of his staff were caring and helpful. Greathouse Physical Therapists provided me with a physical program to help with my recovery. I couldn't be more pleased with the results!

5 stars doesn't even come close to expressing my gratitude to Dr Crovetti and staff. I needed a total knee replacement and from the moment I scheduled the surgery with Dr Crovetti I felt taken care of. I came in the day of surgery and was a tinge nervous. The staff made me feel more at ease and I felt immediately confident in my decision. Dr Crovetti is a wonderful surgeon that you can speak with easily and you know he cares. The staff is caring, funny, professional and helpful. The food, what can I say about the food. Wow, I will say this; I had to remind myself I was here for surgery instead of a 5star all inclusive resort. It wasn't just surgery, it was an experience that I would highly recommend to anyone needing his services. Thank you Dr Crovetti and staff.

Unfortunately, this is directed to all the doctors at Crovetti Orthpedics where I started a patient of Crovetti, then became one of Kuchera's as well as Pinegar and it is very very frustrating when appointments are scheduled and not adhered to. What is the point? And what is worse is waiting when in pain. I have referred others to Crovetti and believe in in work, but the operations and time management is very disheartening and frustrating. You would think being a patient, customer, client with the ability to refer others and certainly provide the means of a some of their costly services would amount to some respect for time. All people's times are valuable - at to not even acknowledge the tardiness makes the relationship taint and second guess your being a patient at this office.

4 years after hip replacement, I STILL HAVE A 3 INCH DENT where INCISION WAS SEWED WRONGLY! HURTS 24/7 I’m 60 and WAS A YOGA TEACHER PRIOR TO THR with CROVETTI. he did my surgery in less than minutes to save money and I AM DESTROYED and IN PAIN and BEDRIDDEN SINCE SURGERY. DR COVETTI FIRED ME at 6 MONTHS and NO OTHER ORTHO WOULD SEE ME because I told Crovetti I WAS IN PAIN! BE CAREFUL. I’m not the only one. HE COULD HAVE FIXED ME! I will die 10 years at least before my t8me due to the suffering and inability to move or cook or work or drive or walk without aid. I can’t ex cerise at all.

I believe Dr. Crovetti is the best orthopedic surgeon in the city. He is not only a great surgeon but a great person too. He really cares about his patients and makes us feel special.

At the beginning I thought he had his best interest in treating me but when I went back to see him w months after my surgery and had concerns with having no strength in the operated knee/leg, he appeared VERY upset that he had a patient of his who was having problems, didn't care at all in what my complaints were. I think had he taken the time to know me instead of just the 5 minutes I had for my first visit he might of better understood the problems that I had had for over 15 years with walking,climbing,standing and so forth but instead he jumped right in to say "When do you want to do your knee surgery?" I'm really that you feel the need to not have a concern for your patients that Don't get back in their game and that they are looked at as failures in your eyes and you write them off as such. Never have I been treated so badly by someone is a Professional. Even with the problems I have had and are experiencing still they still don't feel the need to see till at my 1 year mark...how unprofessional is that.

I did NOT like this Dr. He made me feel as if Ive done something wrong for trying to treat my chronic pain. He did not inform me prior to running out of medication that he would not refill my Rx,leaving me w/o relief or another Dr to go to in a timely manner. I felt he didn't even check my chart or know fully my complaint because I was rushed out so quickly. I saw him a total of 15min,and that was 2 visits. There's no way to give proper care if you don't know your patient. I feel I was judged rather than examined and treated,and all with an obvious lack of respect.

I started my consultations with Dr. Crovetti a year ago. First of all, I waited 2 hours to be seen. He was very arrogant and acted as though my pain in my hip wasn't valid! I ended up leaving his office in tears of frustration. He had mentioned either a cortisone shot or surgery, so I opted for the shot, along with an MRI, hoping it would prove to him I had valid pain. The shot lasted temporarily which was to be expected. He said I had a labral tear but still acted as though I should just "walk it off". I then decided for surgery since I still had the pain and hoping he would maybe be more thourough and explain the procedure. Didn't happen! In fact the hospital had me down for a total hip replacement! Before my surgery all he said was "see you on the dance floor"! Any time I'd try to ask him a question, I was always "poo pooed" like I was an inconvenience! I was rushed in the post op visitand still don't know exactly what he did! FYI, never told traction in surgery causes knee pain now
