Thank you Dr. Mead for confirming what thousands of people have found out the hard way: statin drugs are not what we've been led to believe! When my husband first started taking statins 5+ years ago, he had an adverse reaction of very bad muscle aches in his arms. So the doctor switched him to another statin with the same result. He tried 4 statin drugs before ending up on Simvastatin. The aches and pains and fatigue that resulted over the next 4 years crept up so slowly it was hard to pinpoint. He then decided to stop the statin drug and within a few weeks felt 100% better. In retrospect I wish I had researched statins before my husband started taking them; we all should research the long term drugs being suggested to us.
Dear Dr. Sauer,
I would like to thank you and your staff for all of the time and care you have given me over the past months. The care I have received from you and your staff has allowed me to reach my goal of competing on the world's stage.
Dr. Luchetti has been working so patiently with me for an incredibly long time. He has been understanding and sympathetic about the series of events that have drastically changed my life and inhibited my ability to work for a year. He is doing his best to get me through a very difficult time.
I wanted to write about my recent experience with Coordinated Health and it is just too much to say on the comment lines of this form. In April I injured my arm and thought it was pretty bad and might require an orthopedic doctor. Several close friends recommended Dr. Randy Jaeger. I was injured on a Sunday and called Coordinated Health on a Monday to inquire about an appointment with Dr. Jaeger. I was told he had an appointment available on Wednesday but didn't have to wait, I could use your Care On Demand service and see the doctor that day. I booked an appointment for Wednesday but did walk in on Monday and had an exam just to reassure myself. As I suspected, it was something that would require the attention of Dr. Jaeger. After the MRI at you Allentown facility it was determined that I had extreme damage to my rotator cuff and would require surgery. I would like to say what a pleasant experience my MRI was. I have had one in the past at LVH and it was not a good experience for me. The employees at your facility were so nice and professional and made me feel very at ease. The Surgery was scheduled for June 5. Everything went so well that Dr. Jaeger told me he was able to repair my injury better than he expected. I can't say enough nice things about what a wonderful surgeon he is! Also the hospital staff was wonderful in providing great care on the day of my surgery. I couldn't have been more pleased. Over the years I have had at least 6 other surgeries at other local hospitals and can honestly say my experience with Coordinated Health surpassed them all. My Physical Therapy began a few days later and I work with Therapist Bill Molnar. He was terrific. He was very thorough in explaining what we were doing and why. He answered all my questions and concerns thoroughly, When I would have pain from new exercises or just wearing that sling for so long, he would work on those parts to relieve the stress. When I felt really good and wanted more to do to speed things along, he would give me instructions on things to do but always remind me to be careful and not over do it. I did see a few other therapist over my 14 weeks of therapy due to time concerns and rides when I couldn't drive. Those therapists did some of the same stretching but Bill had a good technique of being gentle yet stretching me further and it is to him that I give credit for my great rehabilitation. I am now back to work full-time for the fourth day and I do Clerical work so I use my arm all day and feel really good. I feel the job Bill did was extremely good and want you to know how much I appreciate it. He was kind, He listened to everything I had to say and was truly familiar with my case. And it meant a lot to me. I would also like to mention Holly who works at the reception area in your therapy department was wonderful. She remember each patient and can answer all question with knowledge and ease. My Entire experience with Coordinated Health was fantastic and I have recommended your services to several people who have already use them and think the same. Thanks to all for your great service and dedication to your patients!
Dr. Barnett is my favorite coordinated health physician because she is friendly, caring, understanding, knowledgable, and always happy to talk about my concerns.
I went to Dr.Wagener a year ago. I was in constant pain. I had epidurals with no success. In 2005 I had a spinal fusion of L4&5 but even after that I still had pain and numbness in my right leg.(That surgery was done by another Dr.) After all the tests were done it was decided that I should have surgery again. Dr. Wagener explains everything so anyone can understand and tells you the pros & cons. I had the surgery on June 15,2011 & it was the best thing I could have done. Had the surgery in Sacred Heart Hospital & had the best care I have ever had in the hospital. I now can say that my back feels better than it has in about 10 years. I would recomend Dr.Wagener to anyone. He is not just knowledgeable but also a nice & caring person.
Dr. Wayne Luchetti, Being 56 years old and about five years away from retirement, i was apprehensive about my shoulder surgery, as I am a professional fireman and great demand is put on your shoulders in this profession. Dr. Luchetti explained the possibilities and treatments and assured me that he would get me back to work as soon as possible. The surgery went better than expected and I feel that I am close to 100 percent. My appointments were always right on time and the time spent with him did not seem like he wanted to rush me out and move onto the next patient. I feel he is a very caring physician and would return to him for any of my orthopedic needs.
Dr. Duffy is my favorite physician because he truly cares about his patients. He is knowledgable and balanced; displaying empathy and concern to all of his patients.
Albert Abrams....I think he is the best rheumatologist in the lehigh valley. He is caring and always ready to talk to you. Stress can causes flairs in your arthritis and lead to joint destructions. He always makes you feel that you are the only patients he has in the office. His staff is so helpful. I am a remicade patient. So I am in the office about 3-4 hours a months. It is amazing things you see sitting there for 3 hours. I also had a total knee replacement that Dr. Dilorio did for me. He was wonderful. I have complete range of motion in my knee. No more pain.
My families favorite Physician is Dr. Paul Duffy. We have been his patients since the early 90's. His education, experience and thoughtfulness are much appreciated. He takes his time to listen and address your needs as he sees fit. If he cannot help you, he will put you in touch with someone who can. My family stays healthier during the year due to our Chiropractic care. We value Dr. Paul Duffy and the great staff at CHS.
I was a walk-in patient at the Wind Gap office this morning and have had a lingering cold and other symptoms for over two weeks. I had no time to visit the doctor so had to opt to bring my 9 month old daughter with me. While filling out paperwork the power went out. I continued to fill out the paperwork and your staff made all the precautions to ensure safe facility operation during the power outage with no generator. Before I could finish the last page, the power was restored. I was taken back and was introduced to Dr. Ryan Smith. Dr. Smith was very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. He was interacting with my 9 month old and was compassionate that I had to bring her out with me. During my exam, there was an emergency in the other exam room. A member of the nurse staff as well as Dr. Smith stopped into apologize for the delay in the middle of my exam and gave me accurate estimates of when they would get back to me. The issue was so severe they had to call the emergency squad. It was great to see how they took care of the emergency but, still had time to pop in and let me know it would only be a few more minutes and how they were so sorry I had to wait. Obviously, the emergency was more important than my cold/bronchitis symptoms and I was able to rock my daughter to sleep while I waited so she was comfortable. The fact that they continued to check on me while dealing with what could have potentially been a life threatening situation in another room was awesome. I can't think of any other urgent care facility in the area who would have reacted the same. I went to Coordinated Health a few years ago for a knee problem. The interaction with the PT staff and Dr. during that time was awesome. The Dr's are friendly like you are one of their family. Alot of places the Dr's seem like you are a bother to them or they don't have time to deal with everything you want to discuss. Keep up the good work on hiring and I will continue to visit the Wind Gap facility for my needs as required. Thanks so much again to Dr. Smith and the team at Wind Gap today.
Dr. Albert Abrams. He is awesome at getting my conditions treated and always takes the time to hear what I have to say. He is a patient man who always has enough time for not just me, but I would bet all of his patients!
Albert Abrams is kind, funny, caring, concerned, patient, generous with his time, willing to think out of the box, extremely knowledgeable, & loved & respected by his staff & patients.
I want to let you know how pleased I am with my experience at Coordinated Healthcare. I had a hip replacement surgery by Dr. Leo Scarpino. The entire experience was first rate and I would be willing to testify to that any time. Very positive results and very satisfied with the treatment from all of the care providers at Coordinated Healthcare. You have a top-notch operation!
I have been with Dr. Duffy for almost 10 years and I consider him to be "the best of the best." He is very intelligent and sincerely cares about his patient(s) and their welfare. And most important, his treatments do heal!
Dr Thomas Meade: I had both knees replaced at the same time.Dr Meade was so helpful at my first appointment,I liked him at right off the bat.Came to see me right before my surgery,and after care was great,Dr Meade was the first Doctor I saw in the morrning.Its been a little over a year now sense my surgery,I am doing very well now.I can cut grass,play golf,walk,dance,and many other things,without PAIN.I just want to say THANK YOU Dr Meade and your PA'S AND SURGERY TEAM.
Dr. Abrams and his staff are friendly and compassionate. I especially wanted to compliment his
two nurses, Cindy and Vivian, that now, and previously, administered my infusion for arthritis. They
are efficient, caring, friendly and in general lift your spirits as well as give me medicine for my
condition. It is almost like seeing my old friends on a monthly basis when I arrive for my appointments.
I commend Dr. Abrams, too, for his caring and sincere attention to his patients.
I’m nobody special. I’m not an athlete or exercise fanatic. I’m just an ordinary person who happens to be a teacher. My story started last spring when I got ambitious and started running. I joined First Strides to start moving. It was exercise and that’s supposed to make you healthier and fit. I figured it would help with the stiffness and soreness I felt every morning when I woke up. And guess what—it did. I learned to stretch and run, though not quickly. I even managed to finish two 5K races, lowering my time by over 5 minutes from the first race to the second. This was a significant improvement; the reality, however, was I was in pain and did not know why.
I called up Coordinated Health. Coordinated Health is a great place. It’s a place where you are put in the hands of a team who works together to get you better. My first point of contact was with the foot and ankle center. I saw Dr. Brigido and he told me I had Achilles tendonitis and heel spurs. The good news is he knew how to fix it. He is not surgery happy and is always happy to discuss options. Physical therapy with Katie was non-invasive and improved my strength and flexibility. Unfortunately, it did not eliminate the pain and tightness I still felt.
Dr. Brigido ended up doing endoscopic gastroc release and my left leg felt much better. After surgery came more physical therapy, this time with Brett and Kiira. They were incredibly patient teaching me new “tricks” to improve my strength and increase flexibility. I even got lessons on muscles and tendons in the legs. I found out where the quads and calves are. Who would know there is a right and wrong way to walk? Apparently the right way is heel, ball, toe. Then, when your face looks very intense, (I suspect Brett did this for fun) I had to walk and count backward from 100 by threes. Now, on a good day I don’t walk and chew gum at the same time. Often I have bad math days, but the point was for me to walk without thinking about it. And the neat part,--it worked and entertained anyone who listened to my version of subtraction. Brett and Kiira were incredibly patient. Every time I got comfortable doing an exercise they increased the difficulty.
The best part of physical therapy was when Kiira or Brett stretched me. For some odd reason Brett said he was going to torture me, but the reality is it felt awesome! Kiira stretches patients very well and she gets the prize for best stretcher overall. I credit them for teaching me how to walk down steps correctly again. They listened to me as I told them how I felt and adjusted the physical therapy program accordingly.
Sadly as my left leg got stronger the right leg got tighter. It was the Achilles tendon, one of the biggest tendons in the body. I did not get relief so I had a second surgery last week. This surgery has improved the quality of my life since it relieved the tightness that woke me up every night for over a month. To imagine how I felt, think of a guitar string which is stretched very tightly and looks like it’s going to pop. I am only 6 days out of my surgery and I feel like a new woman. I know I have physical therapy ahead of me. But I take comfort in the fact that I know Coordinated Health will be able to assist me. Most importantly, they will listen to me and help me to resume a normal, productive, and happy life.
Dr. Paul Duffy. When I came to see him for the first time I had given up hope of leading an active life because of the pain from my back condition. Happily I can say that after being treated by him I was pain free for the first time in many months. That was twenty years ago now I run or bike daily and teach physical education at Catasauqua Middle School. I continue to see him to keep my spine working properly. He gave me my life back and I will be forever thankful to him.
I would like like to thank Dr. Chris Wagener and his staff for the excellent care i received when i had my spinal fusion surgery. everyone was so friendly and caring. dr. wagener did an excellent job explaning the whole procedure, my back has been bad for about 20 years, the pain in my leg was gone immediatley after surgery, i am finally able to sit and walk for long periods of time with no pain, his surgery was done with extreme precison, and he took great care to see that he had done his surgery exact. care in the hospital was great and he came into check me several times after surgery to check in on how i felt, thanks to all.
Dr. James Hoffman spends as much time as I need, talking to me and making me comfortable. He completely explains everything, including showing x-rays and MRI results. He is called "The Shoulder Man" by the nurses and techs at Lehigh Valley Muhlenberg. I have complete confidence in Dr. Hoffman and will recommend him to anyone looking for a "Shoulder Man".
Dr Meade — You’re the best! Great Job! Working my way back to the ski slopes. E.S.
Just wanted to let you know that once again, Dr. Hoffman and Coordinated Health have reconfirmed to me, that they are the absolute best in orthopedic surgery on so many levels! Manny had torn bicep surgery last Tuesday, and is doing extremely well... I know I've told you this before, but, honestly - Dr. Jim Hoffman is a true asset to Coordinated Health... I will continue to be CH's cheerleader!
Dr. Terpstra - always available when I need to speak with him; did an outstanding job with my hip replacement surgery; had not been hospitalized in the last 63 years...was quite apprehensive, but Dr. Terprstra and his team did a great job in alleviating all my concerns and fears of what might happen.
Dr. Godbout, he is always clear & concise with his diagnosis and his explaination of your problem. He has a good bedside manner and enjoyable to talk too. He just a great person as well as a doctor.
Dr Godbout has done successful knee surgeries and procedures on both my left and right knee. He makes you feel comfortable and easy while still keeping a professional demeanor and atmosphere. I would recommend him to anyone.
Brett Godbout is my guy !! He is always able to calm fears, is extremely personable, is a surgeon to be trusted. After many orthopedic procedures, I am a whole person and able to live a normal and satisfying life.
I CANNOT THANK DR.'S WAGENER & STOLL ENOUGH! I WOULD ADVISE SOMEONE TO NOT OVERLY WORRY ABOUT NEEDING EPIDURAL INJECTIONS OR SPINE SURGERY IF YOU ARE IN THEIR CARE! My story is a long one of periods of pain due to degenerative disc disease. Suffice it to say that I have been treated , first by Dr. Scott Stoll (for about 7 years with epidural injections & physical therapy)and 2 weeks ago Dr. Chris Wagener performed surgery on my back. I found that Dr.'s Stoll & Wagener were very similar in some important ways. They are both very intelligent, very knowledgeable/up-to-date, & very caring physicians. I never felt rushed at any appointment & always felt that both of these physicians had my best interest in their minds & hearts.They both" went out of their way" to help me! I would be more happy to talk with any patient about my experiences.
Dear Dr. Meade,
I am amazed at the video and terrific story show you made on my knee surgery!
It’s great!-Thank you! And I can’t believe it’s on You tube!! Interestingly, my daughter, a 2nd year dental student at Temple was amazed and said she learned from it, especially watching you do stitches! So, I’m certain other medical students and others will also learn much from it!
I am so fortunate, as others have been, to have been a patient of yours. I appreciate all you’ve done to help my knee scenario. I’ll continue to take 6000 mg of fish oil daily and am thinking about starting CoQ 10 after watching one of your shows- all of which are very interesting.
My physical activity has picked up since my operation and it’s great to no longer think of my knee on a regular basis!
I am walking with no pain, although mornings are a little stiffer, but I’m stretching before getting out of bed and it really helps! This getting old is no fun!
How you do all you do in a day- from operating to enduring long demanding hours, all while keeping such a great spirit and demeanor is simply remarkable! You are helping people immensely!
Thank you so much,
Sincerely
JAF
Dr. Diorio, he is understandable shows compassion, helpful with my questions, is there for me 100%.
I spent 10 months with severe back and leg pain. I could not walk or stand for more than 10 minutes without experiencing pain. I tried physical therapy, epidural injections, and months with the chiropractor. I did not get relief until Dr. Wagener performed a surgical "miracle" on my back. I am totally pain free thanks to his skills.
Dr.DiIorio Not only does he care about the safety of his patients but he also takes the time to explain things to them if they do not understand . He also cares about his employees and Coordinated Health's future.
Dear Molly, Dr Meade & RJ,
Thank you all for the care you provided me with my knee surgery. You all are the very best in your field and how fortunate I am to have had your services.
It’s now 11 weeks since my surgery and I’m doing real well. Although still taking therapy, I’m actually able to walk, do all regular tasks and am no longer thinking of my knee or feeling any funny, different sensations. It’s great to not think of a knee or it’s stiffness and pain every hour or so!
All of us here in the Lehigh Valley are so very lucky to have you all and your medical services available- you are the very best!
Thank you again and stay well!
J.F.
Dear Dr. Meade, Words cannot express how happy I am that I selected you to perform my total knee replacement last May.
My general health was very good, but walking any distance-even a short one- was a major problem
Let me say without a doubt, you have given me my life back.
My recovery has been quiet and smooth and I can’t thank you enough!
Also, my grandchildren and family members thank you.
You are ‘THE BEST”
Sincerely—J.M.
Dr. Busch is my favorite - and only - physician I saw at Coordinated Health. He diagnosed my frozen shoulder immediatley. And with the therapy he prescribed, I know have full use of my arm again.
Dr. Scott Sauer is a wonderful caring person. He certainly knows what he is doing. Takes his job very professional. I would certainly come back if needed. Life's great!!!
I had terrible hip pain for the last couple of years until I finally said, enough is enough. I read an article about DR Scarpino performing a newer procedure called the Anterior approach. The first time I met him, I knew right away that he was the surgeon I wanted, to rid me of the pain. I am very grateful to DR Scarpino, not only for the excellent care and his sincere personality, but for getting me back on track so fast. I was walking without a cane after only 3 weeks, back to work in 8 weeks. Just a great all around experience. Would recommend DR Scarpino to anybody who needed a total hip replacement. To anybody who needs a hip replaced, just remember the words: Anterior Approach. There is no cutting away of the muscle or tendons, which means less evasive and faster healing !
I had Surgery on Friday 10/19/12. Dr Peter Kozicky was the surgeon. I would like to thank him for the care and the attention he gives each and every time I see him. He is not only my Orthopedic Dr but was my employer for the past seven years at OAB. I've seen how he treats his patients and genuine care he has for them. Thanks Dr Kozicky for being the guy you are and especially for the Giants hat I wore during the surgery. Your the BEST!!!!
Dr. Seth Burkey is our family favorite. He takes time to explain a diagnosis and we never feel rushed. He is also kind and has a great sense of humor.
Dr. Hoffman has restored the use and comfort of my right upper torso and shoulder/arm through rotator cuff surgery... That was 2 years ago. I went to him immediately when I heard and felt my left shoulder go out. I have so much trust in Dr. Hoffman who shows me that nothing less than perfect is acceptible. I Love Coordinated Health and am sad everyone doesn't go there. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share my positive feedback and enthusiasm!
Dr. Brzezinski because he is taking very good care of not only my back, but my wife's as well. Since coming to him, we don't have to see the chiropractor as often as we did with our previous chiropractor. He is an excellent doctor.
Dr. Diorio is my favorite doctor ,he takes the time to explain and draw things out for you so you can better understand what's going on. He tries to be very understanding.
Dr. Diiorio is my favorite doctor. He always takes the time to fully explain what is wrong and what he will do to correct my injury. He has an excellent manner about himself and is always very warm and friendly.
I fell down one step on New Year's Eve and ended up breaking my ankle in 3 places. The ER didn't think I needed surgery but once Dr. Luchetti saw my xray there was no doubt in his mind that he had to operate. He and his team took such great care of me. I can't say enough about the level of care I received at their hospital. A nurse was always there when I needed something. Dr. Luchetti, THANK YOU so very much for all that you did to get me back up and on my feet. The physical therapists were fantastic and so was all of your staff! I would highly recommend CH and Dr. Luchetti!!
In December I went to Care on Demand and was seen by Dr. Seth Burkey, who had a picture taken of my spine and referred me for an MRI both accomplished in the same week. I had pain from my sciatic nerve down to my right ankle. The following week I met with Dr. Steven Mazza who reviewed the MRI, prescribed Prednisone and gave me option. The tightness around the right leg was alleviated when I received injections by him in my lumbar spine.
Lisa Costa explained the process the day of the procedure and took me to the OR and was supportive during the injections and brought me back after the procedure. She was friendly, welcoming and professional in her approach.
While my own physician’s office took over a week to even set up a referral for me, Coordinated Health gave me immediate attention through the efforts of the parties named above and their staff.
If I need further care I certainly would go to Coordinated Health in East Stroudsburg.
I first started seeing Dr Godbout as a patient for my knee over 20 years ago when Coordinated Health was Sports Medicine. Since then he has replaced my right knee and also re-replaces my left knee which was badly infected. Before he did the delicate surgery he attended many symposiums. He was very reassuring and really cared. This was a very tough time for me and he was very helpful. He has recently operated on my shoulder, and I can't say enough about the entire Coordinated Health experience. From Dr. Godbout to the hospital and to therapy, all is friendly and reassuring. I recommend Dr Godbout to everyone who asks me about my doctor.
Dr. Dan Terpstra as he is very thorough and easy to understand as to what is wrong, why it’s wrong, what he is going to do to fix it and what to expect after the operation……Did a great job on my rotator cuff operation – back to 100% and happy I did it.
When my parents brought me into your office on April 25, 2012, I was in so much pain I could not handle the 4 minute car ride from my house to your office. The pain was so excruciating, I could barely be carried into your office. I had broken my tibia in a high school soccer game, and it was literally the worst day of my life. The pain was awful, my final soccer season had come to a screeching halt, and Prom was only 10 days away. But the worst part was thinking my field hockey career was over and that I would never play for my senior year at Liberty High School or for one of the Division I colleges that were recruiting me. The future did not look bright to me at all.
After putting me in a full leg cast, which I have to say was 5000 times more painful than actually breaking my leg, you assured me that I would be ready to go in time for hockey season, which was to start on August 13th. At that time I was very unsure if I would be ready, but I was determined to give 150% to get there.
We had some ups and downs over the next few months. I did make it to Prom (on my fashionable crutches!) and I was out of the full leg cast in 3 weeks. I lost all of my independence. I couldn’t drive, I couldn’t get dressed by myself and I couldn’t shower by myself. When things were looking bleak to me, you always assured me that I was doing so well and that you were so pleased with my progress and how hard I was working on my recovery. You were always available when I needed you and your staff was always so kind and encouraging. All of you did everything you could to help me recover in time for field hockey season and finally on July 26th you cleared me to play!
Well, in case you have not heard, hear is an update field hockey career since July 26, 2012. In early August, I verbally committed to Temple University. My Liberty High School team entered a summer tournament on August 11, which we won and did not lose a single game. We started off by beating Moravian Academy, a team Liberty had not beaten in almost ten years.
We compiled a 7-2 record (6-0 conference) by September 22, 2012. On September 24, 2012,, Liberty High School defeated Emmaus, a nationally ranked high school team who had not lost to another Lehigh Valley team since 2003, 1-0 in a thrilling overtime game. We halted a winning streak of 139 games and I played all 60 minutes of regulation and every second of the incredible 12 minutes of overtime, something I could never have accomplished with out you and your staff. I was interviewed for TV as one of the stars of the game.
I just really wanted to thank you. You will never know how much of a difference you have made in my sports career and in my life. You, the staff at Co-ordinated health, and my physical therapists, helped transform me from that broken hearted kid in late April to the strong and confident athlete that helped lead her team to one of the biggest upsets LVIAC has ever seen. Your excellence in care and technology helped be not only recover, but to become stronger and more focused than I have ever been as an athlete. I just wanted to say thank you and to let you know what an important part of my life you are.
Hi,
I've been a patient with Dr.Weiss for at least 15 years and just love him. I now have had two knee replacements and he has been just wonderful. He explained everything before the knee replacement and told me what to expect afterwards. I would highly recommend him and feel he is the greatest.
Greenwood Ave. Therapy Center is the best.
Barbara F.
I have been a patient at your company since 3/10/2011. I have to tell you that the staff at your East Stroudsbug facility are among the best I have ever encountered. Especially Dr. Steven Mazza, since the first time I saw him, a very positive therapeautic atmosphere was established. Dr. Mazza takes the time to explain the procedures he is recomending and the reasoning for his recomendations. Dr. Mazza is indeed a great doctor. I feel so confident with him that I recomended him to my wife and other friends and co- workers. My wife is a psychiatric nurse and is not impresed easily. In closing please let him know how grateful I am for his services and also that, in my opinion, he is an asset to your company
As a former employee of Coordinated Health, there was no question as to where I would seek orthopedic care and possible surgical intervention. After suffering for a year with early degenerative osteoarthritis, I met several doctors at Coordinated Health and felt the most comfortable with Dr. Daniel Terpstra. He followed my case for several months and once the hip pain got bad enough that I needed a cane to ambulate, we realized it was time for a total hip replacement. I was fearful of this huge step as I am only 51 years old, but he made me feel comfortable and confident that his team at Coordinated Health would make this as easy as possible.
One week ago I had the procedure and must commend Coordinated Health in all aspects of their hospital care at the Allentown campus for such a wonderful experience for my family and myself. From the nursing staff, physical therapists, administrative staff, medical staff and food service (which was extraordinary). I am so grateful to them all for making my surgery and three day stay at their facility a remarkable one. Thank you Coordinated Health for taking such great care of me.
Sincerely,
Karen M.
Dr. Brigido changed my life!!!!! For several years I had terrible pain in my right ankle from a previous break which never healed correctly! I saw Dr. Rossini for many years and through him I found relief for a long time. But after MANY, MANY cortisone injections, nothing helped anymore. He referred me to Dr. Brigido and after 1 visit I knew this was the right man to see!!!! He went to bat for me along with many staff members when my insurance company called this procedure "experimental" and finally the BIG LIFE CHANGING DAY ARRIVED!!!!! I was in soooo much pain the week before the procedure but from the time I got to recovery I NEVER HAD ANYMORE PAIN. From a "10" to "0". PT was great too!!!! The worst part was walking on crutches for 10 days, but now I can WALK with NOOOOOO PAIN!!!!!!! It has been almost 2 years and I finally walked on the beach (couldn't do that for about 7 years). Don't wait till later in life, get your life back now. I was 48 yrs. old but now I can do things that I did't / couldn't do before!!!!!!
Coordinated Health......THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM Of MY HEART!!!!!!

Hello, I am a patient of Dr. Gerald-John Rossini at Coordinated Health in Allentown, PA. I had the very good fortune of finding Dr. Rossini after learning that my life-long Orthopedic Surgeon had recently experienced an injury himself, and was not available to me in practice at the time of my skiing injury. Needless to say, after being diagnosed with a torn ACL and fractured tibia of the left knee, and in my middle 50's, I needed immediate care and attention! I quickly visited with several Surgeons, and obtained a variety of opinions on how to proceed. However, I knew the very day I visited with Dr. Rossini, I was not only lucky to have met him, but without question HE would be the Doctor I would want to perform my ACL Reconstructive surgery. He was referred to me by a friend, also a medical professional. He is attentive and precise, has a caring nature, and thoroughly communicates ALL options. His continuing follow up has moved me forward through months of rehab and progress up to my recovery. Additionally, he educated me in order to make a well informed decision regarding surgery. I decided to have the ACL reconstruction, feeling very secure at the hands of Dr. Rossini. I am so very pleased to say Dr. Rossini continues his ongoing care and attention to my progress six months post surgery, through a successful surgical procedure to rehabilitation.
I am in professional pharmaceutical sales in the Veterinary industry, and must be mobile as I travel continuously. Due to the skill and his remarkable quality of care, I can ride my horse again, sail, dance and ski, and be physically able to do those things I have loved and enjoyed all my life.
Thank you Dr. R!
I came to Coordinated Health and requested Dr. Weiss. He saw me the next day and diagnosed his problem right in front of me. He was able to show me right where the problem areas in my knee were, via a wireless laptop that had my MRI loaded into it. He scheduled me for a scope the same week. My operation went very well; I was back to work within a week and able to enjoy all the holiday activities.
The total experience with Coordinated Health from the office staff, therapists, PA’s and Dr. Weiss was always professional and in a friendly manner. I have nothing but positive things to say and I would confidently recommend Coordinated Health to all my family, friends and coworkers.
I would like to complement Nancy DeAngelis, a member of your staff at the Schoenersville Rd. location. Today she went the extra mile and then another to get me scheduled for a hurry-up MRI. Nancy maintained a sense of humor and helpfulness all along the way. She listened to and incorporated my alternative ideas into her efforts to get me the best care quickly.
Nancy didn’t even flinch when she had to make additional calls to set up portions of my care at multiple locations. I, and my family members, have been coming to Coordinated Health since at least 2001 and the care has only gotten better. Thank you.
I 've been Dr. DiIorio's patient since 2005 for a knee injury. I was very pleased with how he treated me. He explained everything so I could understand what he was talking about. I did not have to feel embarrassed or nervous when I asked questions regarding my injury and the treatment option plan. He was very kind and caring as well. I would never hesitate to recommend Dr. DiIorio as a doctor and as a teacher. He is excellent with teaching and presenting the material to the audience ("Art of Medicine" Show). Thanks to Dr. DiIorio I am continuing to dance and lead an active life.

After blowing out my ACL, MCL, LCL and Meniscus before my senior football season at Worcester Academy in Worcester, Massachusetts, I wondered what my future would look like. Depending heavily upon recruiting to go to college, I was overcome with grief, confusion and doubt. Luckily for me, despite my injury and consequential ACL reconstruction surgery, many schools including Lehigh University still pursued me.
I had my first ACL reconstruction in October of 2007, and upon completion of my rehabilitation schedule provided to me by my UMass surgeon, I would be ready to go for my first year of college football. I committed to Lehigh in late November of 2007 and was looking forward to getting back on the field in an even more competitive environment.
I arrived at Lehigh in the summer before my freshman year to train with the team and go through even more rehab on my “brand new” left knee. About a month into the season, after noticing some significant instability in recent weeks, my left ACL ruptured again. And again, I faced another reconstructive surgery.
After reviewing my MRI results, which I knew would reveal the bad news, Dr. Wayne Luchetti confirmed my belief. However, he also informed me that from the MRI, he deduced that the UMass surgeon who performed my first construction had made some mistakes that were most likely the root cause of my instability and eventual re-tear. At that point I was excited to get the surgery over with and just get back to playing football… again.
I had my second ACL surgery at Coordinated Health’s Highland Avenue location with Dr. Luchetti in November of 2008. The disparity between my treatment at UMass and Coordinated Health was incredible. Coordinated Health’s superior post-surgery treatment was clear to me when my surgeon, Dr. Luchetti, came to my hospital room around 11pm the night of my surgery to check in on me and explain how the upcoming months would play out. Nurses came to my room what seemed like every 15 minutes to make sure I was comfortable. The chef also swung by my room to personally take my order (which consisted of scallops, green beans, clam chowder, Caesar salad and cheesecake—a much appreciated break from college food).
Though at the time I didn’t really think about the excellent treatment I was getting (probably because of the morphine and the pain), I realized soon after that the nurses, therapists, surgeon and everyone else involved seemed like they were looking after me and making sure that this normally “sucky” experience was as enjoyable as possible.
I had been to the Boston Children’s Hospital and various UMass Medical locations for procedures, two of the best hospitals in the country. However, I never left them feeling like I had received the amount of attention, care and expertise that I did when I crutched out of Coordinated Health’s hospital in October of 2008.
After surgery, I began the long rehabilitation process yet again. They started me off with Mike Price, a physical therapist at Coordinated Health who just happened to be a fellow Mountain Hawk (Lehigh class of 1999). Working specifically with Mike and Ramon Pedraza, I not only felt like I was making progress on my knee but I also felt like I could talk to them about almost anything. The training staff always had some sort of funny debate going whether it be about sports, the office fantasy football league or oldies music trivia.
Entering my sophomore year, after another long year of rehab, I was finally ready to get back on to the field and play some football. My new knee was doing well and I really only had some minor pain and soreness, nothing that wasn’t expected. Practicing for two months, trying to get back into the swing of things after over two years of no football, I felt confident that I could finally make an impact.
Again, it was not meant to be. My left shoulder, which had a pre-existing injury form high school, was injured further during practice. Trying to play through it with a brace for stabilization did not work, which was really my only hope of staying active. Dr. Luchetti examined me, sent me for another MRI, and in the end, the labrum in my shoulder was torn almost entirely around.
I had Labrum surgery in early January of 2010 with Dr. Luchetti at Coordinated Health and I am currently working on getting back into football shape and looking forward to the 2010 Lehigh football season.
Though athletically, I have had a tough time staying healthy, the treatment and individual care I have received from Coordinated Health has made the experiences easier, simpler and more comfortable
I was at my wits end with chronic neck pain. Just about the time I thought I could no longer bear any more pain I was introduced to
Dr. Christopher Wagener. To my good fortune, a dear friend offered Dr. Wagener’s cell phone number to me and implored me to call him for an opinion.
I phoned the doctor early on a Tuesday morning expecting to reach voicemail. Much to my surprise, Dr. Wagener answered his cell phone and I managed to stutter and stammer the reason for my call. Still more shocked, he asked if I could be at his Bethlehem office at 3:00 pm that same day. Wow!!
He performed spinal fusion surgery the following Monday. When I woke up in recovery, I could sense the chronic pain had ceased. Truly amazing.
Four months into my recuperation, I realize now what a phenomenal experience I have endured. I am so thankful this doctor cared enough to listen to my complaints. I’m grateful this doctor had a logical and modern approach for treatment. Most importantly, I found a physician willing to spend more than 10 minutes with me and who reassured me what I was dealing with was real and not just in my head.
I simply want to ask, to plea, that you raise awareness in the Lehigh Valley of the hidden gem located at your facility. His name is
Dr. Christopher Wagener. Please help others find him too.
Dear Dr Meade, Just a note to tell you
how we all ( patients and family alike)
love having you for our Doctor. Not only
are you highly skilled and do such a
wonderful job but you instill in us such a
peace of mind that we’ll get well before
we know it.
Thank you for being so considerate and
understanding ‘cause when we come to
you we’re scared out of our wits and
you make us so comfortable—what a
wonderful quality you have. Thank you
again, P.B.
Dear Dr Meade,
Thank you for a wonderfully informative and honest assessment of statins. My late Dad took a slew of medications, and my mother swore that it was the beginning of a downhill slide to the end when he did. I believe her. I am saddened when patients come to me with their list of meds, and then state they don't have any significant past medical history. To some people popping pills isn't even a consideration for them. You have really done a wonderful public service with this editorial, thank you! I shared this on my facebook.
Greg & Jared are both the best with helping others. The front desk assisted me greatly
each time to answer my insurance questions and both of my therapist were very much
helpful during each session.
Monica was very knowledgeable and a good stretcher. Great personality and caring
friendly person! a definite assest to Coordinated health.
The CH therapy team did a great job getting me to where I wanted to be in a short
amout of time. I am forever apperciative for everything, Jack, Joe, Brenda and
Anthony thought me as well ads motivating me and making my treatment a postive
experience. Thanks again!
Joe Conway was the best, very respectful, professional, and knowledgable & helpful.
Thank you SO much. Ryan (front desk) is #1. Joe, Anthony, Brenda and Jack are all
fantastic. I am very pleased with your services you provided and your staff. My
therapist, JOE, couldn't have been more helpful. They were friendly, but yet very
professional in every manner. They were all very helpful to me. I loved going to
therapy. I hated to say Goodbye and I know in my heart, I couldn't have made the
same progress anywhere else. Thank you.
My rehabilitation experience with Coordinated Health was great. The hours of
operation meant that I could receive my PT after work, with no loss of work time.
Should I need rehabilitation in the future I would consider Coordinated Health again.
I had a very positive experience at CH. Dr. Luchetti and PT team/ After having bilateral
knee replacement surgery on 6/27/2012. I am back on the tennis court (12/12)
and was back to work full time 9-2-12. I have referred Dr. Luchetti and CH to serveral
friends. They have since gone to both, especially after seeing my recovery
Kelly and Sunshine went out of their way to accomadate my needs. Offered all kinds of
support and help. Dave and Denise also were helpful. It was wonderful to work with
such a caring staff. Their main concern is the patient
I felt very comfortable with my sessions and my PT's were very attentive to my
condition. They were great in getting me through my long ordeal. I highly recommend
them to anyone. They whole staff was very friendly even to the girls working at the
desk. Made you deel like a person, not a number.
Ian and Kirra were great with me. That got me back on my feet and help me do what I
enjoy doing again. I would Highly recommend them to anyone. Looking forward to
therapy.
Katie and Jason made going to therapy easier. They worked very hard to get me back
for movement in my shoulder. The girls at the front desk were so pleasant and helfpul.
Mario and Jen are wonderful! This is my 2nd total knee replacement. I had them for
my first rehab 2 years ago and that is why I followed them for my 2nd knee
replacement which I just had done in Dec. They are very compassionate. I just love
them!
I was treated at Hazelton for Lymphedema form Jan 8th- 11th with great results.
Previous I was treated at Lehighton from Nov- Jan with very little process. (It was not
due to the PT team) It resulted from the ise of the compression bandage therapy used
at Hazelton. Thank you.
I was extremely satidfied and pleased with Melissa and her team,. I would recommend them - AAA+ The front Desk was positively the BEST!! :) And Dan did an outstanding job!!
Leslie and Donna are excellent therapists, I have and will continue to recommend them to my friends and family. Their focus goes beyond the injury at hand, it encompasses both body posture and gait to prevent further injury down the line.
I've worked elsewhere (another company) in the past and Linda is SO much better. I've been coming for a very long timeand appreciate the attention to details that coordinated health gives.
I have used CHS over years and I will always recommend. I have had Linda, Chad and Alexander as PT as well as other PT's on rotation Saturdays./ All the PT are professional, informational abd nice as well. Dr. Godbout is wonderful and as is Dr. Stoll. 2 thumbs up!!! CHS!!!!!!!!!
Lisa and Jen have been a very positive experience for me. They are extemley good and knowledgeable
Lisa Not only knows her "stuff" , She takes time to make sure the patient understands
I must say ADAM was fantastic! He listened to my problems and explained in layman's terms how exercises were effective. Great sense of humor! The desk staff, especially Kerry, was awesome. Kept Everything flowing! No Waiting- evidence of great staff relationships too! Great job!
Sue and Jill help my condition considerably, Thery are incredibly knowledgable and genuinely care about their patients. I am now on round 2 with them for knee pain following neck injury. EXCELLENT!!!
Leslie and Donna are both great. They helped me through many physical therapy
sessions - They have personality plus.
Because my therapy was due to foot surgery and I had two additional surgeries, (due to
major healing complications) my therapy kept getting interrupted by healing. Each time
I went back after healing my team (Kevin and Richard) were instantly right back on
track with helping me get flexibility back. I was in therapy, off and on since
approximately June to present. Without the help of my great team I don't think I would
have seen the great results I have achieved. I started by hardly able to walk on my own
to being able to walk with no assistance whatsoever. Thank you, Kevin & Rich too
Lea is a very personable and approachable professional. She carefully listened to my
concerns/questions and explained what and why she was doing/recommending. Lea's
great!
Linda has gone above and beyond what I had expected from a PT. She is a
tremednous advocate for me in my quest to understand and resolve the physical issues
I'm facing. Her determination and perserverance in helping me meet my goals are
remarkable. She is professional and a great asset to CH.
Jen W. was very helpful, along with all the others that helped me reach the goals of getting back to normal and playing sports again.
Tracy was the most thoughtful, kindest and caring therapist I ever had and I have been
to PT at least 8 times in my life. The whole atmosphere @ Lehighton was so different
than other places too. All the therapist's were so friendly and they all helped each other
and all of them always said hello and good bye and talk to me.
Mario & Jen. very professional. great people.makes you feel at ease. they treat you like
a human being, not just a number. takes the time to help me with my pt. very glad i
chose them..
I have been many places for therapy over the years and this place was the best by far.
AJ was VERY good, tough but good, and that's what I needed. Best therapist I ever
had!!!
I have so much respect for AJ and Bill- they really know therapy. (I have been to
another places 3 times and AJ & Bill's approach is the best. They also teach you and
inform you at the same time. I have also observed Nikki at work with her patients she
treats - she is excellent!
I cannot say enough about Andrew Johnston. He is an excellent physical therapist.
Also Anika Carnish was helpful, friendly and helped me back to my expectations. Great
team!!
I have never been to a therapist before and I was a little uneasy about my visit. My
therapist made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. He sat down and talked to me
about my problem and listened to what I had to say. He showed me all my exercises in
detail and explained the purport for them and what they do to relieve my pain. I was
amazed how correct he was. “Thank You” Jared
I am now finished with my therapy and I was extremely satisfied with David and Denice
and would highly recommend anyone to go to this facility. Every minute of my time
there was worth it!
Melissa was very good and responsive to my needs. She was helpful and elimated my
pain. I would reccommend her to everyone
My therapist, Kevin, was very professional. He prescribed exercises that were targeted
to fix my problem. It was like a miracle. I had such bad pain in my knee when I began
therapy and after 3 weeks, I had no pain and was able to walk again. I am very pleased
with my outcome at Coordinated Health and will recommend it to my friends and family.
Rich was an great thearpist. he paid attention to my workouts and questions (I had a
lot) even when you thought he wasn't paying attention he was there with corrections.
He is really interesting in having his patients achieve successful rehabiliation
Kira and Ian are an excellent , Knowledgeable team- Very Bussiness Like!
Katie has been outstanding, She really was concerned for me and has be an advocate
on my behalf with the doctor, It is obvious she really has my best interest in mind ,
Paula also is wonderful. She does a great job at trying to treat me, while remaining
friendly, professional and courteous , They both are top notch!
I was thoroughly impressed with CH and espically with my Therapist- Lori. She was so
pleasent, knowledgeable, patient yet firm and was more than likley to answer questons
and make wise suggestions and decissions.
Shirley did A GREAT JOB!! I've come a LONG WAY!! I would reccomend her to
anyone!! THANKS, GREAT JOURNEY!!!
Chad and Alex are always pleasent, friendly & helpful. They have the patients best
interest ingetting them back to normal.
I have had physical therapy at two other local therapist. Anthony and Joe are, by far,
the best. The attention and hands on approach make all the difference. I have been
recommending CH therapy to people I speak with. If I needed PT in the furture I would
not go anywhere else.
The Whole staff was friendly and helpdful. Adam and Phil made it enjoyable even though there were sometimes it was
tough. Will recommend 100% to anyone.
Thank you everyone! Therapy at the Wind Gap Facility was the best. Jared and Michele were extermely helpful in improving my condition. Michele was so instrumental in pushing me to my fullest,I couldn't have done it without her!. Marci is a pleasure to see at the front desk at each appointment.
Jared and michelle make a very painful situation bearable, There compassion, friendiness, and patiance made me feel like I was in the best of hands. I've never seen them frustrated with my progress and there knowledge is impressive.
I have nothing but praise for Katie and Paula, the girl at the front desk and the staff at greenwood ave. They helped make a painful experince much more tolerable by positive and encouraging words.
Jen and Sara are the best. Friendly, Helpful, and always make me feel comfortable. They are very good at what they do. All the of therapy staff are friendly and helpful.
Jen Elwood in the best! I haev been in her care MANY times during the last 8 years, I wouldn't have anyone else
Jen's Professionalism, knowledge, compassion and Genuine care for the patient is extraordinary!
Being a RN, I value professionalism and Linda was terrific. I always felt I was in good hands. Thank you, Linda!!!
Between 10/2011 & 8/20/2012, Linda treated me for 2 shoulder surgeries and a fractured ankle. I would request her in the furture. She is extremely knowledgable, encouraging and enthusiastic. I would recommend her to others.
Dr. Chiappetta treats her patience with professionalism, respect and compassion. She spends just enough time with her patients and makes sure all questions are answered and explanations are given. Within a few day after my blood test I receive a note telling me of the results.
Dr. Nicole Chiappetta--------- Has vast knowledge but is not hesitant to refer you to another doctor if the situation warrants. Explains things in terms one can understand,also follows up quickly with phone calls regarding tests and other information. Also has a DYNAMIC personality and gives you the impression that she CARES about you. It is apparent that P.A. Megan has a terrific mentor. I hope they will remain a part of the team.
Dr. Sauer's treatment of my torn peroneus brevis tendon in my ankle was superb. As a highly competitive triathlete, I knew that I wanted my treatment handled by an orthopedist who specialized in the foot and ankle - I didn't want to leave such a delicate, intricate area in the hands of someone who was more comfortable with knees and shoulders. I literally spent months searching for the right surgeon. Dr. Sauer's diagnosis and treatment was excellent - he took the time to thoroughly explain (and diagram) the anatomy, physiology, and mechanics of the joint and injury, and also the options that I had. Dr. Sauer performed the surgery with my continued athletic endeavors in mind: it wasn't just good enough for me to walk without pain again - he knew I needed to be able to run lots of miles. He took all aspects into consideration and did an excellent job. Three months post-surgery and I was running again!
I was suffering with severe shoulder & wrist pains & it was effecting my ability to play my horn or sleep at night. My pain was getting worse as time went on... Finally, My general practitioner refered me to the Rheumatoid specialist at Coordinated Health, & after 2 weeks of an excellent diagnosis & quick action + treatment, by there team & Dr. Meghan Hofner ( at the highland Facility), I today,.. find myself Pain free & can continue playing my horn! Thanks & Thanks-again !!
Dr. Terpstra was the first Dr. to do a successful surgery on me. I had a knee replacement surgery done in May of 2012. Everything was explained beforehand and although I was skeptical, I decided to go through with it. Everything went fine and I'm looking forward to having my other one done next May. I would definitely recommend Coordinated health to people. Their Staff, Doctor's and Hospitals are extremely well organized and thorough.Also, the physical Therapy Staff! they are GREAT! Thank You Dr. Terpstra
Dr Meade has been my favorite physican by far the last seven years, because he is caring, and he listens to his patients. The fact that he is one of the most knowledgeable doctors I have dealt with is very important to a patient. He is constantly educating himself in his field and beyond so he can offer the best quality of life to his patients. Dr Meade shares his wealth of knowledge with the public through his shows and seminars and as a patient I have learned so much from him. I hope that Dr. Meade continues his mission in his field for many years to come and wish him the best. Thank you Dr.Meade for caring.
Dr. Bautista was very friendly, really listened to what my concerns were and gave me multiple treatments to choose from.
Dear Dr Meade…… THANKS DOC!!! I feel 63 again, instead of 85!. GREAT SURGICAL TEAM! ….Thanks again S.K
We love Dr. Mary Loftus because we can tell that she genuinely cares about her patients. She really made my daughter feel comfortable and unafraid. Her staff is great, too!
Alice D.
I have been happy with all of the Coordinated Health Drs but I have to admit that my confidence was high enough in Dr. Rudolph of EOG to not only recommend him to my friends for their son's knee surgery but also bring my husband to him for a severe rotator cuff surgery and arthritic hips. He is generous, kind and straight forward. Over the past year, I have seen him a lot! 2 ankle surgeries later, I am exactly where he promised I would be. Walking without pain or a limp. Thank you Dr. Rudolph!
Amy E.
Dr. Stacey Resnik-- Dr. Resnik is always so enthusiastic and bubbly. She seems to honestly be glad to see you. My daughter, Zoe, had foot & ankle pain. Diagnosis was clearly explained and exercises recommended. Orthotics were fitted (& refined) and Dr. Resnik was so pleasant to work with.
Bob B.
Dr. McCarroll has a fanastic personality, takes time to explain the problem in simple language to ensure I understand, and he presents every possible treatment option and any potential side effects. I've been seening him for at least 10 years and would never consider changing. I've sent many patients to him as well.
Jamie D.
Mary Loftus, she's compassionate and knowledgeable and always listens to my foot complaints. I couldn't ask for anything more.
Janis M.
Dr. Rudolph is my favorite physician. He was very good at identifying my problem. He found a treatment plan that we tried and explained everything very thoroughly. He is very professional, but still is able to communicate in layman's terms so patients can understand what is happening.
Kelly M.
Dr. Barnett is kind and treats you with respect and does not make you feel like she is doing you a favor as some doctors tend to do. She is always cheerful and answers questions with confidence.
Lyn B.
I never meet a doctor who really takes the time and really explains everything to you, untill I met Dr Schwartz. He made sure before I left that I understood everything. I also want to make sure that his staff also gets credit, they are all wonderful and helpful. I already recommend friends and family members of mine and they were very pleased.
Lynn M.
Dr. Edward Schwartz is considerate, kind and has compassion for his patients. My husband was stroke impaired and diabetic & could get quite cranky and agitated, but Dr. Schwartz had patience with him & was able to calm him down, check his feet and cut his toenails. He is also my doctor & has helped me so much with aching feet, bunion, bone spur and arthritic ankle. He is the best!
Nancy V.
Dr. Bridgido was the first doctor my daughter had seen in 5 years that knew what her condition was, he was very upbeat and enthusiastic, helped her through her pain, encouraged her the entire time she was his patient, and took the extra steps necessary to ensure that her ankle healed and she is now pain free after 5 long years of pain!!!!
Sue C.
Dr. Mary Loftus took care of my foot without me needing surgery, plus when I was upset that I might have had to push off getting a tattoo that I had been waiting almost 5 years to get due to thinking I may need another MRI, she cleared me to get the tattoo. Sounds like a small thing but who knows when I would get my next chance at being in Atlanta to see this particular tatoo guy again. So in my book she rocks!
Ellen F.
Dr. Meade is the best!! He never rushes you through any appt. he listens completely, and unstands your concerns with heart. Treats me like i am the only patient with this problem and not like "all the others." That about sums it up and YES, I always and DO recommend him to many people! Thank You! Sue
Dr. Goldberg has been an excellent physician to me in the past 6 months. He has always been patient and understanding with my back and hip issues. I would definitely recommend him to any of my family and friends. I am most appreciative of all the help he has given me and I wish him all the success in the future.
I had neurogenic intermittent claudication since 1996 and when symptomatic, I had terrible upper right leg pain which caused me to walk like a 90 year old who needed hip replacement. I went to see Dr. Wagener in December 2009 and he told me my options after seeing the X-rays, MRI, and CT scan. He did an anterior and posterior decompression and stabilization surgery at LV Muhlenberg assisted by Dr. Meir Levi and I can’t say enough about the difference. No more leg pain whatsoever. Dr. Wagener, Dr. Meir Levi along with everyone else involved were a true GODSEND. I could never repay them. Thank you so much!!
Dr Hernandez is my favortie. He did both my thumbs & everything went really well. I followed his instructions & had no pain & quick recovery. It was a pleasure working with him.
Dr. Kooch - I cannot express my gratitude enough to Dr. Kooch and his team! To think of how much pain I was in to how I feel today! Dr. Kooch takes the time to explain the procedures he is recommending and the benefits. I felt so comfortable and at ease with him and was able to trust him completely (which is not my norm)! To make me laugh when I felt like crying may not sound like a big deal but to me it was, THANK YOU! I have and will continue to highly recommend him.
Dr. KOOCH, you're the BEST!!! Thank you so much for being so caring and treating my symptoms with such urgency. I didn't realize how bad the herniation in my cervical spone was and the damage it was causing in my arm. You not only connected me with a 'fantastic' surgeon immediately but you also followed-up with me to see how I was doing. YOU are truly compassionate and I am so grateful to have had you as my physician. My surgery ws a success and PT is almost over - I feel great. I will be recommending you to everyone I know.
Daniel Terpstra is the only physician I have had the pleasure of meeting at Coordinated Health. I found Dr. Tepstra to be professional yet very personable while explaining everything in detail regarding my condition, options, surgery and post op recovery. My entire experience with Coordinated Health, its staff and campuses' has been an excellent one. I hope to remain in good health, but if something should arise, I will not hesitate to contact your offices and will highly recommend you to my friends, family and colleagues. Many thanks to everyone at Coordinated Health for making what could have been a very stressful and unpleasant procedure and recovery into one that I really didn't mind at all!!
