What Patients Are Saying

Hear from real patients about their experiences with Dr. Sollaccio’s expert care and personalized treatment.

I recently had a very serious incident that shattered my right arm, and wrist (and other issues) which desperately needed surgery. I was referred to Dr. Sollaccio who saw me the same day and performed the surgery the following day! He did an awesome job as indicated by the fact that I am typing this message easily and pain free. And great bedside manor, very patient, I never felt rushed. It also didn’t hurt that when other doctors and nurses asked who did my surgery and I told them, it was almost a unanimous response, ‘Ohhh you got lucky, he’s good!’ Highly recommended.

T.L.

Dr. Sollaccio is incredible. When I got to him my injury was two days old, infection was setting in and acute compartment syndrome. Dr. S took one look, scheduled surgery for the same night and by the time I woke up from surgery all of my excruciating pain was gone. His energy is calming and comforting, he is patient and takes the time to explain details and answer all questions. He’s such a caring Dr and truly wants the best for his patients. Thank you Dr. Sollaccio for everything you’ve done for me!

E.M.

Dr. Sollaccio was great, he made a point of explaining things in a way that I was sure to understand, he never seemed to be in a rush, I really appreciated the way that he took the time and made sure that he answered all of my questions and concerns. Great guy, I would definitely recommend him.

T.M.

Dr. Sollaccio has provided me with excellent care and follow-up from my surgery. By the way, you can barely see the sutures and it has only been 6 weeks post operation – it is as though a plastic surgeon did the surgery. Also, the surgery is very successful

G.B.

Thank you so much for the great job you did. It is amazing to be pain free, just like when I was young! You are very talented and professional. You made a 60 year old man feel strong again as if he’s 20 years old again. Your staff were amazing and kind. Thank you all.

J.C.

Very happy with the kind and efficient care provided by Dr Sollaccio as follow up to a bad fall that injured both of my wrists and hands. He is an exceptionally highly trained and qualified hand surgeon.

L.L.

Dr. Sollaccio was very patient, he listened to all of my concerns and explained everything with details. He was very easy to talk to and answered all of my questions. He is truly an amazing doctor.

S.R.

Dr. Sollaccio was professional, kind, and very patient during my visit. He answered all my questions, making me feel at ease.

S.O.

Very professional, very thorough and considerate. He listened, and answered all of my questions and concerns.
