Gregory S Difelice's Online Review Report Card

Went for a second opinion. Waited over 1 hour for him in the waiting room. When I finally got into the room, the pa came and saw me. Spent 5 minutes then said he will go and review my MRI and bring doctor difelice with him. We waited another 20 minutes. My husband opened the door to go ask someone and he sees the PA sitting with other coworkers eating donuts instead of reviewing my MRI and bringing the doctor. Finally doctor comes and is so arrogant and sarcastic. Claims he pioneered these surgeries and how great he is. Spent 3 minutes with us then tells us he’s running behind and has to go. Not evening waiting for us to finish asking all of our questions. Needless to say I did not go with him for my surgery.

Dr. Defelice is one of the best surgeons in the NY/NJ area. He has many skills sets that allows him treat many injuries and sports traumas in his field. My son had a serious multi ligament knee injury and Dr. Difelice was able to schedule his emergency surgery that same week. We are very thankful we found Dr. Defelice and his staff was great. Very caring and treat patients conservative first but does surgery as a last resort like in my son's case.

Leading expert in the field of orthopedic surgery. Dr. D fixed both of my torn ACLs with an allograft while salvaging my remaining native ACL tissue. He is the BEST in the game. Go to Dr. DiFelice for your orthopedic needs.

I have the worst experience today with his office manager Cristina, she just didn’t want to help, firs it was my insurance, them she won’t give me an appt without the X-ray report from the previous doctor, then he will not see me unless a have a report from a previous doctor( I was willing to take new xrays) , then I couldn’t sent it thru email , just thru fax, I don’t have a fax , so I couldn’t make ...

Dr. DiFelice is absolutely incredible. Ten days before my wedding day, I completely tore my chest. He got me into surgery as quickly as possible and made it so that I could dance with my beautiful wife on our wedding day. He showed caring and tremendous expertise. My chest was in two pieces and looked destroyed after my injury. There were other surgeons who said that my injury could not be fixed and that I would have to deal with a divot and a lack of power in my chest. Not only did he masterfully resculpt my chest but he repaired it so that the functionality is back to the way it was prior to injury. I am a former division 1 football player and working out is my main hobby. I care about the way my chest looks and functions and Dr. DiFelice made it so that I feel as good as ever. One week after surgery, I was dancing with my wife on our wedding day. One month after surgery, I was doing pushups. Three months after surgery, I was back in the gym full force. Thank you again Dr. DiFelice!

Three months after surgery, I was back in the gym full force. It is now about one year after surgery and I almost forget I had it. My chest looks and feels great. Thank you again, Dr. DiFelice!

I would highly recommend Dr. DiFelice. I’ve been in healthcare for many years and rarely do I get a chance to see such compassion combined with phenomenal surgical expertise. From the moment my husband walked into his office, he and I were treated with professional courtesy and kindness. Dr. DiFelice took the time to explain everything in detail so that we understand everything and that happened with every step along the way. His staff is friendly and extremely efficient. My husband is not a star athlete, a regular working man, and he was treated as if his life and recovery were just as important as everyone else’s. His recovery is progressing quickly and the PT that was recommended is stellar. I would give this doctor an A++.

I learned everything I needed to know about Dr. Gregory S. DiFelice when he recently called on a Sunday evening. I had forwarded his office CDs with MRI imaging of my son’s torn ACL ligament, as well as the radiology reports. I had done a lot of research on Dr. DiFelice, and was hoping he might be able to offer my son a less invasive repair of his ACL versus a complete reconstruction. A little background… my daughter is a collegiate volleyball player who had an ACL reconstruction 4 years ago. I am well aware (unfortunately) of the long term post-op complications related to ACL reconstruction. We had recently attempted stem cell therapy on my son’s knee, in hopes of him avoiding a reconstructive surgery. It was a COMPLETE waste time and $12,000. My son endured painful stem cell therapy, 8 weeks of Physical Therapy and STILL needs an ACL repair. The stem cell clinic in Broomfield, Co, in my opinion, completely misrepresented the potential success/outcome of the stem cell therapy. I truly believe the clinicians at that clinic preyed upon our hope of avoiding surgery for our 17 year old son. Lesson learned. Dr. DeFelice was kind enough to explain to me why my son WOULD NOT be a good candidate for the ACL repair technique he utilizes, and recommended an ACL reconstruction, based on what he saw on the imaging. I was extremely grateful for his honesty. I shared with the doctor that I have worked in the OR as a surgical rep for over 20 years. Because of my clinical knowledge, he went on to explain in great detail why an ACL reconstruction was the only suitable option for my son. Everything he said made complete sense. I only wish I had found him earlier. He would have saved my son from receiving a failed stem cell therapy, and would have saved me 12k. Due to Dr. Di Felice’s expertise in ACL repair, I was willing to fly with my son from Arizona to NYC to achieve a clinically superior outcome. His reputation as an orthopedic surgeon is clearly outstanding. In our phone conversation, he proved that his character is outstanding as well. Thank you, again, Dr. DiFelice.

Fixed my torn ACL without a graft. Fantastic personality and very knowledgeable. Runs late because he spends time with his patients. Great experience thus far.

Dr. DeFelice was the best surgeon we've ever experienced as a family. My son had injured his ACL and meniscus during football and was originally operated on in Philadelphia. That surgeon in PA was ranked very highly but was terrible. He was not only rude, but when my son didn't heal properly, he completely denied there was a problem and said it was 'fine' if my son,only 19 years old, couldn't straighten his leg and was at least 5 degrees off. We spent thousands on PT because we were told there was nothing else to do. We even went to another surgeon who said the same thing. It was a godsend we found Dr. DeFelice. Dr. DeFelice said he needed scar tissue removed. He not only has an excellent bedside manner, his surgery was a success and now my son can straighten his leg. After a year and a half he is finally ok, all because of Dr. DeFelice.
