The entire staff at Faunce Corner and the hospital were personable, informative and extremely helpfulI want to especially call out the nurse, [Name] at the hospital who exemplifies providing stellar customer service, and I should know, I teach the course and [Name] definitely does not need it
After being hospitalized at St. Luke's, and needing to be seen by a hand specialist, the doctor fit me into his schedule two days after Christmas. Great bedside manner and explained everything reasonably and answered all of my questions. He was very helpful.
The office staff and Dr. Petrullio are wonderful.
Explained my need very well and went on to correct. Explained what future options are available with a more permanent solution. Past problems have reoccurred but was somewhat expected. Looking forward to continuing discussion with Dr. Petrulio for a more permanent solution, if possible, soon.
I would have liked to have had guidelines for occupational therapy for my hand.
The welcoming staff is wonderful!!Dr. Petrulio was thorough and explained everything clearly! Great physician!!

Dr. Petrulio is absolutely the best. He explains procedures and ways to go forward. The staff is absolutely wonderful.
Doctor spent unrushed time with me & explained several possible treatment plans.
It was my first time seeing this provider. Both staff and provider were friendly and helpful.
Staff could not be more helpful getting my chart, working for me.
Yeah, the doctor was pretty much perfect. The only thing he didn't mention was the recovery time, which I take part on me. As I said, working, I should have asked. But other than that, I think he was perfect and did a great job. It's the second time he will work on my hands, so I appreciate him.
The staff are very friendly and approachable and always take care of me and Dr. Potrillio has done eight surgeries on me now maybe nine and he is outstanding always takes care of me and always cares about my needs and explained everything thoroughly and he is one of the best doctors I have ever seen in my 48 years. I tell everybody if they're going to have any kind of arm or hand surgery. That is the surgeon to go to and only him. I truly feel like he is the best in his profession.
Everyone was great and the doctor as always was incredible
From the first moment to the last everyone was excellent. Wonderful experience would highly recommend this facility.
The appointment was well timed and efficient.
Doctor was very capable and kind.
My entire visit was pleasant.
Reasonably efficient process.
I'm pleased with his care
Upon entering the exam room, the doctor sat at the computer and did not introduce himself and did not look up. This was a bad beginning to the visit. However he listened carefully to me and answered all my questions. I was satisfied with the visit.
Professional
During check in, the patient is asked for DOB in an open reception area…I do not feel,that is safeguarding my privacy
Always friendly and on time, doctors very helpful
