Apr 19, 2026
What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
It is definately worth the required long wait to have an appointment with Dr. Giannotti! During this first appointment he will thoroughly explain his findings of your x-ray which will have been professionally taken by his office’s long time, competent, employee. He will have already spent considerable time reviewing your medical history and refer to it as needed. He will then explain all the options he believes are available that may help treat the current condition for which you made the appointment. His recommendations come next and, once again, are knowledgeably and cohesively discussed with you. He is relaxed, articulate, compassionate and will receive your respect and trust as a result of this initial appointment.
