About Christian Petrulio

Dr. Petrulio came to Southcoast Health from Austin, TX where he was in private practice specializing in minimally invasive hand surgery. He is no stranger to New England, however, as he grew up in New Hampshire and graduated with honors from Harvard University.

Prior to medical school, Dr. Petrulio spent time with the Cheetah Conservation Fund in Namibia, Africa. He then worked with a group of epidemiologists in New York City to develop an HIV vaccine at New York University, where he later earned his Doctor of Medicine.

After completing his general surgery training at Columbia University-New York Presbyterian Hospital where he was the Chiron immunotherapy surgical oncology research fellow, Dr. Petrulio completed his hand and microvascular surgery fellowship at the Kleinert-Kutz Institute of the University of Louisville in Kentucky where he was involved in one of the first hand transplants performed in the United States.

Dr. Petrulio is board certified in surgery.

I was seen by my PCP for my injury. She consulted me to hand surgeon to be seen within 24 to 48 hours. I was seen on the same day. That is Awesome!

I was seen before my appointment time which NEVER happens. The Dr came him, we did a few exercises. He diagnosed what I already knew, and proceeded to tell me what my options were.

I received superb medial care from your orthopedic hand surgeon along with his staff. I hope I never have the need, but in the event I am in need of an orthopedic doctor, I will not hesitate to return. Thank you!

Reception was excellent and I was glad of the experience.

The doctor actually came to get me as the techs were busy with other patients. That has never happened. I was impressed.

Very professional and caring staff. I will defenitly recommend this place to my family and friends

In the waiting room over an hour before being seen, had to relocate rooms, assistants did not know what I was coming in for or even that I had been there before, my doctor has changed my diagnosis three times since June and told me that my pain had moved since last time when it didn’t, was given no post treatment care or advice unless prompted by me as the doctor was rushing to leave, I was recommended physical therapy and[Redacted- negative comment about separate location], no one at the desk to check out as I was leaving, all in all I had a very poor experience there and I will be getting a second opinion elsewhere
