David J. Petron, M.D.

I really liked that Dr. Petron called in Dr. Aoki to look at my knee and give me his advice and recommendations as well. It made me more confident in moving forward with the decision for surgery after hearing from several care providers who all agreed on treatment recommendations!

Very thorough explanation of my problem, very friendly and caring staff.

Dr Petron is the BEST !!!

amazing

he understood my concerns. He understood my perspective in wanting to get back to my activities and running. He looked for a treatment approach that would work for me.

I like Dr Petron very much. He got to the heart of the problem quickly and Mede me feel confident about recovery.

The doctor came in with two other individuals. He talked to them about the process of getting my knee stable and feeling better but spent very little time going over the process with me, the patient. I felt like he was rushed or didn't want to bother with me, as if my injury wasn't too significant. I later saw a paper that was handed to me by the nurse? for physical therapy and I have no idea what to do with that or the process to get that started. My knee feels better due to a cortisone shot but I will probably cancel my follow-up with him.

Dr. Petron and his staff are so kind and concerned. I would highly recommend him to everyone.

I gave a couple fair rating decause I came in with multiple problems, and was well aware that the doctor would not be able to cover them all thoroughly. I will be back for follow up care.

The doctor was great. Very warm and friendly, and knowledgeable.

The MD spent very little time or expressed very little care about the lack of progress or my improvement. The fellows cared and seemed to care more. I am very disappointed by my progress. Dr Petron didn't tell me the side effects of the medicine he prescribed. I am very displeased with my results at this time.

Dr. Petron is a fantastic physician. He provided outstanding patient care from start to finish.

The education from the care provider was lacking. I left feeling a little lost, and I am a health care provider. I wish there had been a nurse to do some follow up teaching with me, or that Dr. Petron had taken the time.

I would definitely recommend the physician and orthopedic center to others.

I felt like I was not listened to, and that my issues were not important. Despite 10 weeks of pain, I was told "well, your MRA is not normal, but just stay off it for 2-3 months and see if it gets better" After further testing and evaluation by a second physician, it turns out my problem is significant and requires surgery to prevent further degeneration.

Dr. Petrone has always taken the time to detemine my progress and answer questions, both from me and my husband.

Petron cared about my experience and understood that I wanted to get back to an active life as soon as possible and clearly did all he could to help me reach that point.

always nice

Great

Dr. Petron went above and beyond what most doctors would do to listen and understand my situation and made a great recommendation for further care.

My knee feels great.

I prefer to go to him as he does not automatically recommend surgery.

Previous visits convinced me Dr. Petron is an excellent doctor. However, this time I was sent away with no recommendations for my problem. We never really discussed if it would heal itself or I would just have to learn to tolerate the pain and discomfort I'm now feeling.

Knowledgeable, attentive and pleasant.

I came in thinking I either had bone cancer or was a hypochondriac. Dr. Petron was very nice about telling me I am not a hypochondriac, because I did have a broken bone, but also that it was very unlikely to be cancer because it was healing nicely.

Dr. Petron was great! He asked all the questions and did the range of motion, strength and movement testing (along with x-rays) that addressed the questions/issues I had. I felt completely well cared for, heard and able to voice the questions I had without censorship or dismissal.

excellent care provider

Dr. Petron and his PA were very friendly, informed, and attentive to my problem. They were thorough and discussed treatment with me and I was confident in the plan.

We LOVE Dr. Petron and his staff. Despite his busy and demanding schedule and his high caliber of usual patients we were treated with equal importance and concern and care. He allowed my daughter to continue with her two loves (cheer and golf) and put our worries to rest. Reassured us that if anything changes he is available and explained the next step in the process. He didn't just jump ahead into expensive and maybe unnecessary testing, i.e. mri, scan.

I was very pleased with the level of concern, treatment and care I received.

I highly recommend Dr. Petron

the times I have been there, I have seen a assistant to take first notes, then a resident, and then the resident with Dr. Petro. When Dr. Petro and resident are in the room, a female (nurse, LPN, assistant?) is in the room taking notes on computer.

I had a lot of unexpected pain following the procedure. Had I anticipated it, I could have asked for information about how to treat it. There was some written information but I think a follow up call from the provider would be really great.

Very unsatisfied with the treatment I received following the cortozone injection. The manipulation that was carried out put me in immense pain and completely nullified any good effects I had following the injection, with Dr. Petron even stating that he thought the second part of his manipulation of my shoulder went too far. I am very concerned that this manipulation was carried out without any anaesthetic as the pain I suffered was immense.

Petron is very good technically and is a nice man.

I have never had a bad experience at the clinic. Been seen several times, have had xray's, MRI's, and even surgery there.

Seriously outstanding exam, care, team approach and explanations

There were three people who saw me, so it is hard to rank all three in one survey. The first person who came in--a technician?--seemed to want to be some where else. The PA was slightly more interested.

Dr. Petron is one of the best in providing patient care. He is very caring and considerate , not to mention knowing his field. I recommend him to everyone who has joint issues. You are lucky to have such a great physician.

I had 3 doctors in the room and felt very well taken care of and that they were all very interested in my issue. Loved them all :)

Great!

My only issue with my visit was no one explained the possibility of pain after the treatment, but I didn't ask either I was just so happy that it wasn't hurting any more at the time and really it only hurt that evening and Ibuprofen took care of the pain. Very happy with the results the next day pain was gone

Dr.Petron is the BEST !!! He has been my Doctor for over 20 years and i have never had a more caring and careful Doctor! I recommend him to all my friends when asked.

Dr. Petron is what I wish all Doctors were like, expert in his field and extremely friendly and down to earth. He is such a class act and answers any questions I have.

I was nervous coming in because I hurt so bad and thought that the only way to fix the problem would be to "slice" & "dice" my shoulder, but both Toth and Petron were quite cool and calm, happy and kind when telling me that surgery was not the means to fixing my shoulder and that cortisol would be the first attempt in avoiding "the knife". No surgery!

Petron is a great Dr. in my opinion. He has helped me more than any other Physician with my particular ailments. He is AWESOME!!!!!!!

Dr. Petron is wonderful and so are all of his staff.

As I mentioned before both Dr. Petron and his PA's and staff were wonderful

Dr. Petron is the best, he is professional, very knowledgeable and knows his patients very well. I am very pleased to have him as my sports med doc.

excellant

i was thoroughly informed and treat with the utmost care.

Excellent, thorough and provides great information physician.

Dr. Petron was thorough in his explanation and answered all my questions well. He was friendly in demeanor.

the provider spent less than 2 minutes in the exam room did not examine me or give me any instructions about further care. Just that "hope this last a while for you" and left the room. Over my three appointments none of the providers moved or felt my knee except for locating the injections site.

if I could give Dr. Petron 10's instead of 5's I would.

I saw dr. petron before and like how he handle issues

Dr. Petron, my savior for twenty years!

Dr. Petron is very caring and interested in me and my welfare.

All around very good experience

Wish that the doctor had told me the severity of my problem. Hard to know how long my problem will last.

I have seen Dr Petron for multiple injuries in the past, and he has always been a top-level provider for my healthcare needs.

Very impressed with Dr Petron. He seemed so sharp and genuinely concerned about my problem. He seems like he will not stop till he figures it out. That is what I've been looking for.

You feel like a number with Dr. Petron. He seems rushed and is very brief. He seem arrogant

Dr Petron showed concern about my shoulder and he wants to help me. He has always treated me well and his staff has always treated me well.

Dr.Petron is one of, if not the best Doctor I have ever had treating me !!

Dr Petron is top notch! He is by far, the best Dr. I have ever been to. Unfortunatly for me, there have been a lot of them! He has helped me more than the others combined.

I got good and friendly and efficient treatment throughout, in the front office, the examining room and the x-ray facility. Bravo!

Bob and Dr. Petron are a great team. They both were interested in my concerns and answered my questions with clarity.

Dr would ask a question and then cut you off half way through the answer as if he did not really care for the answer. He did this several time. He seemed more interested in showing the residents how smart he was. I never got a chance to even tell all the problems related to my problem but maybe he can read minds!

Dr. Petron is an exception physician - knowledgeable, savvy, personable and attentive to the presenting problem and questions I provided. He was effective in his use of our time yet did not make me feel rushed - answer all my questions and left me feeling that we had a treatment plan and confident in different approaches if Tx choices were not effective.

He walks in with a whole entrauge rarely speaks to me and tells me I need an injection. I wait, he comes back. He barely talked to me. It was if i was a burden to him and his time. He was just "trying" the injection first then would try something next. I don't want to be an expirement, I want quality care for my problem.

I LOVE Dr. Petron!! He seems genuinely concerned, does not waste time, and lets me look at the ultrasound of my shoulder whenever I am in the clinic. He helped me very much during a recent panic attack I had while in the exam room. He inspires confidence.

Very good experience

Dr. Petron was very through as was his fellow resident.

There were no bad experiences so far.

The youngest medical professional ("Dr. Toby"?) had incredible people skills. The resident (a woman, sorry don't remember the name) was continuously curious, which helped her figure out the problem. Dr. Petron figured out what to do about it. All-in-all, a great team effort.

The talk was pleasant and informative.

I spent more time with the fellow than the Doctor. They were both friendly, but I would prefer to spend more time with the actual provider I am scheduled to see.

Dr. Petron is amazing. I really appreciate all he does for me and my knees.

Great

Dr. Petron has been my orthopedist for the past 6 years. He has always provided practical advice on my osteoarthritis. I have a trusting relationship with him as a medical services provider.

Dr. Petron is a prince. Can't say enough about him and the care he gives.

Dr. Petron got me right in for MRI after I saw him. Dr. Petron is very friendly but quick. He gets what he needs to get done in a very short time.

Both the visiting resident and Dr Petron were caring, concerned, and took the time needed to address my concerns & make sure I understood the plan of care.

Dr Petron is very kind and caring, I have great trust in him

I felt like a was a study specimen as he was explaining my conditions to the residents more than to me

Great experience!

Maybe a tiny bit rushed--this is a very busy practice and I could see the faculty and satff hustling to take good care of so many patients.

I have recommended the procedure and Dr to 2 other people. I hope their insurance will allow them to have the help they need.

It meant a lot that the PA would go through the trouble of providing me with a copy of my x-rays.

I have utmost faith and trust in Dr. Petron and recommend him to all my friends and family.

Very efficient getting me to the correct specialist.

Dr.Petron spent a great deal of time with me and did not appear rushed.

I am just complicated and they were great with me!!

Again I love Dr. Petron but felt very rushed. I was told that I was going to need surgery and they scheduled me for an MRI. However, they were unable to inform me if I was going to need to drink contrast stating that it was up to the radiology technician. Dr. Petron talked with his PA more than he talked with me. I was told nothing about the surgery and sent on my way with some pain medication and an MRI appointment. I am expecting more information after the MRI.

I have already recommended the Ortho Center and will continue to do so. Dr. Petron, Bob and the staff are just awesome!

He was great.

I was there for an injection. Dr. Petron did an excellent job.

I will recommend Dr. Petron...

Came into exam room without previewing record. I know everything is computerized but think the electronic record should be reviewed before he comes into the room.

Thanks, Dr. Petron, for always showing concern and for taking good care of me!

Dr. Petron has always taken every step to ensure that I was as comfortable as could be, and did everything possible to get me back to normal.( or as close to it as I come! ) I have faith in him and tell anyone I know that he is the greatest Dr. I have ever had. And I have seen a few!

Both Dr. Petron and Bob Toth were great. Bob spent the most time with me and was very good. Dr. Petron was also very good. I felt comfortable discussing my condition with them and they were very good at conveying to me what was going on in a manner that I understood.

did not discuss bone spur, which is secondary pblm. will ask at my follow-up visit.

Dr. Petron and his PA provide excellent care

I have recommended Dr. Petron to many of my friends and acquaintances. My son is also Dr. Petron's patient.

Dr. Petron was great in helping me understand what was wrong. He helped me get the necessary treatment as quick as possible.

Joy English was my first contact with an MD, she took her time and explained things to my understanding. However, Dr. Petron was a blast in and out with an ok that sounds good, let's do that. Rather short and sweet.

Dr Patron and Dr Plet are the best.

This was my first visit with Dr. Petron. I wasn't sure what to expect, considering his name on the pictures of all the famous people in the waiting room. He was very friendly and I felt confident in him as health care provider.

Once in the exam room, my experience was very good.

I have already recommended Dr. Petron to a friend.

good

Both Dr. Petron and his PA were very professional, patient and easy to talk to. They both listened to and "heard" my questions and concerns. An excellent experience.

Dr Petron and his staff are always EXCELLENT in taking care of my needs

The doctor was awesome.

Excellent experience

Dr. Petron came in the room after reviewing my chart so he knew the specifics of the case. He is personable and friendly

He was knowledgeable and communicated well.

Dr. Petron is the best. He has a great bed-side mannor and is always friendly and fun.

t i was very grateful that dr. petron was there.

Although the doctor was busy he took the time to discuss a related problem with me--he asked questions, examined my joints, and generally helped alleviate an orthopedic problem i was having

Dr. Petron is an excellent provider. He knows what he's doing and he explains everything very well.

The injections have decreased my pain level. I am happy with your team and the results.

I have recommended Dr. Petron to others including my husband and other family members

Excellent

The time I spent with Dr. Petron on the telephone was more than adequate.

Dr. Petron is an excellent provider and I have always been very happy with the care that he has provided for me through the years.

The provider spoke directly to the PA when viewing my MRI and did not explain to me what I was seeing. Perhaps I wasn't aggressive enough (I'm not shy), but I think that explaining the film directly to the patient is important - shouldn't have to ask.

Time was short with the doctor

great experience, diagnosis i agree, but swelling persist and feel pt should maybe be put on hold. i am planning another visit very soon. my first thought was how professional everyone was, i felt comfortable with everyone involved.

Really like Dr. Petron. Very kind and concerned. If I have to have the surgery, I would want him to do it.

I have seen Dr. Petron before, and trust his judgement.

A great experience overall for a procedure I'd been nervous about and heard horror stories about from other people.

I liked Dr Petron. He was very approachable and helpful.

Dr. Petron has been patching me up for many years now, and has done a fantastic job of keeping me going. I recommend him highly to anyone I meet who has ortho problems.

Dr. Petron was extremely nice and very professional about my injury and what I needed to accomplish in order to heal quickly

I have never been treated better by any clinic anywhere. Kudos

I've always felt that his was sound, the best.

Dr. Petron is very good but also very pressed for time. He does a good job explaining issues in that limited time but he could improve on checking for understanding.

MD very friendly, and able to convey concern & not appear hurried, eventhough he obviously had a very busy clinic.

Very efficient and professional in all areas!

despite my appointment being pushed back an hour, the service was excellent from both the primary, 1st yr residents and PAs. I was actually impressed by the service provided.

Dr Petron and his PA, Bob were excellent and I have already referred.

Felt rushed, had questions I didn't get a chance to ask. There were to many patients and not enough time.

Again, I felt I was not well informed about the results of the MRI I had earlier in the day, and in fact was never even told if I needed to make a follow up appointment. Although everyone I worked with was awesome, it seemed like a very rushed procedure.

I felt like it was professionally done.

If he spent this little time with everyone and I was a new patient, I don't understand how he could be so far behind.

Dr Peteron and his staff were great. I appreciated the time Dr Petron spent helping me understand the issues and how to treat my health problem.

I would recomned him to any one

Very good

My recommendations will be on skill and knowledge that I felt my health care provider had. That's what makes me come back and recommend.

Dr. Petron is one of the best

I left without a clear understanding of my diagnosis. I can't tell you what specific tendon is having what specific problem, or what specific muscle isn't tracking properly in my shoulder.

Felt like Dr. Petron took time to answer my questions and took the time to go beyond the scope of why i was there to explin what was going on with me and how he felt that it would resolve a lot of my issues when i have surgery.

Dr. Petron is the man the myth and legend!!!

I was still a little unsure about the plan for my recovery, timing on recovery and what would need to be done, however I think this may have to do with the fact that my ankle was so swollen, maybe the doctors don't know a plan or timing yet.

I had difficulty with the injections (vaso-vagal response) and they took quick care of me and tended to my needs. Very helpful.

The doctor was unclear about the treatments he wanted me to do. However he was very friendly and caring.

Very favorable impressions

Dr. Petron did an effective job and was quite personable and responsive.

This was one of the better /best experiences I've had in regards to feeling heard and being walked through what was going to happen. I was nervous about not being taken seriously because my injury doesn't cause me constant pain. Its induced from certain activities. I feel Dr Petron understood my want to be as active as I used to be.

They came in, see me, ask for the condition, when out, came back, drain fluid, when out, and never came back. Here then came the nurse at 5:00 PM on Friday, told me I can leave. I was laying on the bed with my shoe and sock of and still waiting for further instruction. Then I was asked to leave. With the condition of my knee on that day, I couldn't even wear the sock by myself. I was asked to leave in pain, without proper help and further instructions. I was frustrated about the medical service that I received.

Dr. Petron is fantastic. I couldn't ask for anything better from him as a doctor or his staff. A++++ all the way.

Dr. Petron is fantastic! Very easy to talk to, answered all my questions, explained treatment options. I would recommend these providers to anyone.

the Doctor seemed to be too busy or behind to even take a look at my file before he came in the room, he thought I had arthritis, I have TOTAL loss of all cartlidge between both knees, not even close

I think DR Petron is one of the very best, always professional, timely and efficient.

I asked about one of the six injections. When I asked about whether there was a problem, I did not get what I believe was an adequate explanation. This one was out of alignment with the others and still do not know why.

Dr. Petron always goes the extra mile in providing care and information. At this visit he really assisted me with a minor secondary item--the removal of a troublesome corn/callus on my foot that I didn't expect but really appreciated that he did. I have recommended Dr. Petron to many people on numerous occasions. really appreciated.

Petron is Excellent and he knows his stuff but is often times very busy.

I am unhappy that I waited 60 minutes to see this doctor and he spent less than 5 minutes with me in the examining room. Furthermore, he wasn't going to give me a prescription for physical therapy - I had to ask for it and then he said "oh, that might be a good idea". Very disappointed. I will go out of my way to recommend that friends and acquaintances do NOT go to him.

I was impressed with everyone who took care of me. It was nice that we were able to talk on a level that was comfortable for all of us. I appreciate the time that was taken and I felt that I was able to voice all of my concerns. The doctors answered my concerns, provided the information that I needed. They were both very friendly. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs their services.

Dr Petron was appropriate in medical evaluation. I appreciated that they took the time to investigate and listened to my LONG answers and they stated they actually benefited from additional information that I shared even though it was from an injury 10 months prior. Thank-you.

my visit was very positive

The Dr. went right to the problem and solution. I received an injection the very 1st visit which helped my shoulder almost immediately. Excellent care.

Dr. Petron and team have been outstanding to work with and I would gladly recommend them to anyone needing lower back care (as it relates only to my injury).

The fellow performed the procedure with Dr. Petron supervising. The fellow did a great job!

Dr. Petron is always good with me!

Dr. Petron and staff are outstanding in terms of bedside manner and explaining options for care.

Dr petron in very good but always in a hurry

Petron is the best!!!

I didn't think about it at the time but 2 days later I realized I needed pain medications so I could sleep. I wish I was offered that when I was in the office the first time.

The PA was very nice and explained things very clearly. The Doctor appeared very confident and experienced. I still need to find out the issue, which is the only negative thing about my visit. I'm scheduled for an MRI and follow-up visit later this month. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to contact the MRI lab to find out if I need to prepare for the lab procedure in any way before showing up (fasting, what to wear, or not to wear, etc.) because no one at the office told me anything about it.

Yes, I will tell others.

Dr Petron and his staff were attentive and responsive to my needs. Fantastic job.

Dr. Petron is excellent. Goes right to the issue, treated it right away, made suggestions about the short and long term prospects of knee injury treatment, etc.

Dr. Petron is caring, kind and expert care provider. He is amazing, that is all I can say.

Although the doctor didn't spend a lot of time with me, he spent the necessary time with me given my problem. There was not a need for more time--he explained the cause and treatment and I was on my way.

i've recommended you to everyone I know.
