Dr. Vulcano masterfully repaired my severe ankle fracture. Not only is he extremely skilled at his expertise but his positive and joyful personality is a helpful reinforcement during the healing process. Even one year later and his staff remember me and greet me with kindness. I’ve never had a problem with my appointments.

Overall Rating: 1.0 2018-05-24

my appointment was on a Thursday, i called earlier in the week to confirm my appointment. When i arrived Thursday morning, I was notified that the DR has been out of the office all week.  Not only did I confirm my appointment, but there was no communication to me that this was canceled. How can you trust this doctor and his team, if none of them can relay a message to cancel an appointment when they had a weeks notice to do so?  I am now terrified to go back because if I do need surgery will the Dr. retaliate? Dr. Vulcano performs such a tight niche of work, that it is very difficult for someone in my position to go elsewhere.  So now I have to continue to be with limited mobility and pain for more weeks.  I am over the top mad, disappointed and disrespected at Dr. Vulcano and his entire staff.

Overall Rating: 5.0 2017-09-27

I was referred to Dr. Vulcano by my Primary Care Physician. I had a good experience with the office, and with Dr. Vulcano. He was on time, he smiled, listened to me, offered clear communication and good beside manner.
