Dr Giannotti and his colleague Robin are a great team. They actually listened to me. Made recommendations, scheduled MRI without any hesitation. Robin follows up with me to see how I am doing. Couldn’t be happier. Thank you!

Absolutely an amazing job! I received injections in both my knees and all though I'm covered in tattoos, including knee cap tattoos, Doc completely seemed to understand the fear and didn't down play my feelings once. Holly the receptionist is an amazing smile and conversation. Everyone is kind and caring.

Jun 27, 2026
What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Dr Giannotti is excellent. But he is overworked. I always have to wait on a hard chair, which is really cruel to my bent and arthritic back. My Mich needs more doctors and greater sensitivity to patient needs. It's no wonder people go to urgent care more and more often. But Dr. Giannotti is a gem! He listens, explains clearly, and is highly skilled.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
The first appointment was made, sat in waiting room for 45 minutes only to cancel the appointment due to another appointment set 1 hour after when I was to see the doctor. Was told on the phone that I would be able to do my other appointment if doctor was running late. Then was told I was not allowed to do so and it was either keeping this appointment or cancel. I canceled and rescheduled this doctor appointment. Went and did my other appointment and was done in 8 minutes. Still same people waiting to see the doctor in waiting room when I left to see other doctor. 2nd appointment went better. Still sat in waiting room for 45 minutes,, in room 10 minutes before doctor came in to see me. Saw what was going on with my knee and gave me options before doing surgery. Explained so my husband couple also understand. Happy with that part of the appointment.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
When I arrived at the office when they told me to, I only waited a short period of time before I was taken back to the examining room. The girl was kind in attentive. She said that the doctor would be right in. I waited 45 minutes in my room I thought I was forgotten about. I walked out cause I had to use the bathroom and three girls were on a computer and didn’t give me a whole lot of attention. They told me I was next I went back into the room and I heard a girl say [NAME]‘s in the bathroom which I wasn’t in the bathroom I was back in my room, but nobody checked and then the doctor went to see the next patient so I left unfortunately my knee still hurts I was charged for my x-ray and I receive no treatment I was pretty disappointed
