I've gone to Dr Crovetti for several years now. Yes, my first experience was awful. I should have packed lunch! Who knew I needed to wait so long...over 2 hours. However, I now know when to book an appointment to minimize the wait.
That being said...he is an excellent doctor. I have a very bad shoulder that should really have surgery on but I'm a chicken. Dr C has never once berated me or made me feel bad about my decision. I'm controlling it with cortisone shots...andlet me tell you...he gives a great needle! One shot a year and I'm good!
I also have bad knees...yep, I'm falling apart! When I fly my knees ach terribly. He knew right away what was wrong and took the appropriate steps to fix it. I now fly pain free!
His staff is also excellent. You can tell they really enjoy what they're doing and where they work.
I've recommended him to several friends and all have been happy. Just prepare yourself for a long wait when you get there! Although now he has a pager system so you can go downstairs to the cafe and have a bite to eat or drink. A great idea!
