For example, the knees are one of the joints that take on extreme pressure in daily functioning, and if an individual is an athlete or exercise enthusiast, the knees are often one of the primary joints that are injured, cause pain and immobility issues.

“After tearing my rotator cuff, not only was I experiencing pain, but my quality of life was diminished. Playing golf and working out were painful rather than enjoyable. Graci and I sought out fellowship-trained Dr. Christopher Sforzo and the team at Sforzo • Dillingham • Stewart Orthopedics. I was treated non-surgically and am now pain-free, mobile and enjoying everything I did before.”—Graci and Dennis
“As soon as the elevator door opened on the third floor, the VIP treatment began. The professionalism and respect, and customer service began. Dr. Sforzo diagnosed my issues and has given me several options. I’ve elected to have surgery and feel I’m in the best hands going forward.”—Warren
“Too bad there is not a sixth star for me to select. I work as a Consultant for a Large Medical Network in Pennsylvania and would hope they could reach the level of this experience in the care that I received on my first visit.
The staff is one of the most professional that I have been privy to, from the receptionists, nurse, radiology tech to the Doctor and billing. The offices are meticulous and immaculate. There is no clutter, furniture needing repair, non-working appliances, or any of the other items that you’d find in other Medical facilities. I was not left unattended from the moment I walked into the facility. It was a wonderful experience!”—Charles
