I was referred to Dr. Marandola to examine the pain I was having in my hip. After the exam and x-ray he recommended a total hip replacement. He explained the details of the surgery and what I could expect during the recovery period. This discussion gave me confidence in Dr. Marandola's ability to do the surgery. It took a couple of months to get the surgical clearances and schedule the surgery. The surgery went well, and I was released the next day. I have had post-surgical visits with both Dr Marandola and his assistant Jason. I am incredibly happy with Dr Marandola and I highly recommend him to family and friends.

Excellent experience. Everything went exactly as Dr. Marandola had explained. Total hip replacement and back to ~75% mobility within a week, driving (it was my right leg) after 2 weeks, and continuing to improve after 4 months. Jason the PA was excellent in follow up visits I had. I would totally recommend this practice 100%.

I went to Community Ortho in July 2019 in extreme right knee pain. A PA drained fluid, shot up with Cortisone; it improved immensely but I was advised I needed knee replacement. Saw Dr. Tom Thomas a month later and he disagreed that surgery was needed. He shot up both knees with an injectable (extremely painful) that was suppose to give years of relief. I now know the injectable should never have been done so soon after the cortisone.

I was in immense pain from my right hip to my foot. The ongoing complications have included a numb right foot for 2 years now. Went back 4 times to 4 different Dr's in building; it was a cluster. Terrible service, recommended unneccessary "exploratory" surgery. Terrible billing (every dr you are seen by requires all new paperwork).
