What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
My only concern is the difficulty of communicating with him or a nurse. I have been in extreme pain when trying to walk. I could not see him or talk to him for 4 weeks. Earliest appointment. I realize he is very busy and I am not his only patient. But I don’t think 5 minutes of communication is an unreasonable expectation.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Not the fault of this dr, but I should not have been made to wait so long to finally get to see this dr. Systemic requirements and acceptable timeliness for care should be re-EVALUTED TO improve diagnostics time, decision-making time, and appointment availability

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Make an appointment before you need it, booking six weeks or more out. Bring a book to the appointment as you likely will have a wait. My 10:30a appointment, was nearly an hour late! It happens but when I'm told to be 15 minutes early and then wait, it's annoying.

Excellency in my medical care. I could not walk on my left knee when I first saw doctor and I am now pain free and walking without a cane. Thanks to Dr. Giannotti and staff.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
My experience has been great! I have arthritis pain and mobility issues that are well managed with this provider and supporting staff. I still have pain, however a lot less of it which allows me to keep walking with my cane and walker and breaks. This is a big improvement as before I started being treated at Well Sport I was in severe pain almost daily and struggling to get dressed, shower or walk at all or even drive. my pain levels are much more manageable now and I have more range of motion. Thank you

I'm very happy with how quickly I get into a room and everything is set up,soon after the doctor comes in, we discuss my knees and he does my injections. No messing around, in and out.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Dr G is amazing! He works with me to reach my goals and spends a lot of time during my appointment to explain my options and help me get back to the life I want! His Medical Assistant, Robin, deserves an extra-special shout-out. She called me with my MRI test results and had taken the time to talk with Dr G to understand them and walk me through all my options ahead of time since Dr G was on vacation and I wasn’t going to be able to meet with him for a couple weeks. She took an incredible amount of time over the phone to explain each, and every option and proactively worked with my insurance company to make sure that every option was covered she even went ahead and made sure that I had a surgical referral lined up so that he didn’t have to wait several weeks to get that in line as well. She provided excellent service and I wanted her to be recognizing and commended.

I have 3 appointments for the gel injections. I WILL NOT complete pre-appointment questionnaires for each visit. This post-visit is also a waste of patients time!

Have stayed with him in spite of him moving to another area. Will finish treatment with him but will reconsider future appointments do to distance away. Plus new Dr coming in does not take my insurance.
