Report
Very large, impressive practice. Welcoming staff. Comfortable waiting room with TV, coffee. Very professional, friendly service. First receive a preliminary exam from a trained staff member, then XRAYs, and then a discussion and exam with Dr. Longobardi. Extremely clear analysis of the xrays and a plan of action to get back to where I was. I felt very confident upon leaving the office and feel much better already. Thank you doctor!

I can not recommend Dr. Longobardi enough. He is a brilliant surgeon that has been patient, understanding, caring highly knowledgeable and amazing with explaining the process of my surgeries. I came to Dr.Longobardi with an infection in my knee that had a knee replacement. He was willing to perform both surgeries that entailed removing the prosthetic and putting in a spacer for 9 weeks and then another knee replacement. Obviously a very long and painful process. I am getting ready now for my 2 nd surgery- which is the knee replacement and as much as I dread the surgery I am confident I picked the

Dr. Longobardi and his staff are excellent. He has great bedside manner. He is attentive, caring, knowledgeable, patient and supportive. He makes me feel so comfortable, calm and well cared for. Both Dr. Longobardi and his staff goes the extra mile to make sure that his patients are taken care of. His office manage Leida, his secretary Wendy and Keisha ( his Radiology Technician) are amazing. Lieda is always supportive and available to help me , no matter how busy she is. There is never a problem that she cannot solve. Everyone is so friendly and kind. I highly recommend Dr Longobardi and his team
