"Most confident, informative, pleasant surgeon I have ever spoken to and had surgery with in my lifetime. From pre-op to post-op, the doctor and all of his staff have been wonderful every step of the way. Dr. Minutillo really cares about his patients that he has performed surgery on. It's now been 6 months since my hip replacement surgery. I have a much better quality of life. No more pain. He is a doctor and surgeon that will actually take your worries away about a major surgery. I can't express how happy I am and my family about the surgery that doctor Minutillo performed on me."

Dr. Minutillo, why did you choose OALI?
