The dr is exemplary and a sterling asset to south coast health
Every person who works here are very helpful. Answered all my questions. Am confident that everything will be just fine.
The Doctor was friendly and very professional. He did an exam of both my hands and agreed the right hand had a trigger finger problem. Talked about two options: a shot or surgery. He recommended the shot and I agreed. He said if there was any problem with my hand or hands to be in touch. It's been a couple of days, but I feel that it has improved.. Will see as the two weeks give me the whole story.
Everyone was very polite. The doctor was great. Let me know the information. I would highly recommend this place.
Ask the patient about their health goals.
The girl who took all my information was absolutely wonderful what a pleasant young lady and the doctor was equally wonderful. I'm looking forward to to have having him take care of my needs for my wrist. Definitely attend.
Very Respectable a Polite.

Very personable and knowledgeable about what my plan is in order to assist me
I broke my wrist, both the ulna and radius Dr. Petrulio told me exactly what surgery needed to accomplish and fit me into his surgery schedule the next day. The follow-up care was excellent and my recovery much speedier than I expceted. His communication was excellent. I feel blessed to have him as my surgeon.
Dr Petrulio was excellent. He asked questions and most importantly he checked my hands. Examined every finger and the thumbs. He explained why there was pain. Checked my left ring finger and explained what was possible for that finger I will see [Name] [Name] for tests. Dr Petrulio was most attentive and showed interest in helping my painful hands
There is no improving, you guys are the BEST!!
My appt was scheduled very quickly due to extenuating circumstances for me. They fit me in and did a fantastic job with the procedure. I was very nervous, but they calmed me down and everything went well
Doctor was informative and thorough.
the doctor is great, professional, and cared for me as a person, not just a patient.wonderdful!
My first visit, so everything seemed good.
He explained in detail what was wrong with my hand. Then he told me what my options for treatment were. Then the office assistant set up the nescacary appointments for me.
My Doc is very nice he always answers my questions and always tells me what's up with my care
Upon arrival I received help at check-in with my payment method. I was called in shortly after, and brought to a room where I waited briefly. Finally, the Dr came in and greeted me. He was professional and kind. He listened, we discussed treatment, he took care of me, and I was on my way. I would highly recommend this facility!
Dr.Petrulio was great! Got me in and out, made the visit easy and addressed my concerns. Only thing that was alittle off was rooming, I had an 8:50 arrival time and I seen a patient that was there after me with a later appointment time being called to be roomed. Granted the appointment was as at 9:15 however, I wasn't roomed till 9:30. Other wise than that overall experience was good!
Very responsive to treatment methods. Gave me step by step approach to care of my problem. Has a clear plan to address my problem

Listened. Provided the care I need. Needed an injection Administer to cause me the least pain. Professional and compassionate
Dr Petrulio made me feel comfortable with the procedure by showing me how to focus on something other than the pain from the injection. I really appreciated this. He is a good doctor, and I highly recommend him.

I was able to get an appointment in a timely manner. The staff were all very pleasant and professional, and all my questions were answered.
Honest and efficient diagnosis. Excellent staff too.

My surgery was managed excellently and all went well
The doctor was wonderful and surely knows what he's doing
Punctual visit, very quick response
The wait room is nice and quiet. The wait time for my appointment was 30 minutes. But, I believe this was caused by the previous patient and her needy questioning.
It was all good. Staff friendly. Dr P listened to my concerns and I was informed about the next steps that are available to correct my medical condition. I will not hesitate to return.
Everything was done properly. Dr Petrulio explained things to me thoroughly so I could understand my situation.

Excellent doctor. Highly skilled and able to explain the diagnosis and treatment in a way that was easy to understand. Made us confident in his assessment and encouraged questions.
Liked the given process needed, but was too quickly gone over. Think I remember it all.
I had to see Dr. Petrulio for an accidental finger injury and he could not have made things any smoother for me. From my appointment to my surgery, he and the staff were amazing!
Very nice and efficient staff. Doctor listened and very respectful and knowledge.
Very helpful nice to talk to explain things very carefully so I understood went over everything that they were going to do to help me.
