"Dr. Romeo is the best. I still have my left arm because Dr. Romeo would not give up on me. Not only does he take very complex cases, but he treats me like a person, not just a bad arm. I am sure that I have the use of my arm due to his clinical knowledge and expertise. I cannot even say how grateful I am to him."

"Excellent experience for the first time with Doctor Romeo Team. After 30 with my other orthopedic doctor who did many very successful surgeries on me, I was concerned it would be hard to replace Doctor Erickson who just retired. But after my first visit with Doctor Romeo and his Team I knew I made the right choice. I am now schedule for a reverse shoulder replacement and not worried about anything after they spent time going over the procedure and PT time after surgery."
