Not a great experience. Our appointment lasted no more than five minutes, and I felt as though I was being rushed through the visit. I had several straightforward questions regarding stretching and my son’s recovery, but the responses were consistently deferred rather than addressed.
As a result, I chose not to ask some additional questions that were actually more important to me, as it was clear the doctor was ready to conclude the appointment. I understand that medical offices can be busy, but I would have appreciated a more thorough and engaged discussion, particularly given that this involved my son’s recovery.

Reviews
Absolutely loved this practice. I had called last minute to see if my son can get squeezed in after he was complaining of foot pain all night. We got an appointment same day and we must have been in and out in 20 minutes & that’s including an x-ray. The doctor was knowledgeable, patient, understanding, explained everything to me and provided me with a referral printed on the spot. All staff was lovely. Thank you!!!!!
Dr. Liggio is an excellent surgeon. He is however a man of few words. Having a young child getting a procedure can be nerve wracking. And I definitely was thinking and overthinking. He didn't hold our hand through the entire process, but what he did do was an excellent correct procedure. Everything worked out just like he said or would. And I'll take that over the hand holding any day.
