Dr. Christoforo was kind, patient, listened, and was very knowledgeable of a condition that I have. He addressed all of my concerns and was able to diagnose me after 4 other doctors were unable to. My surgery was successful. I've had additional injuries and he treated all of them as well. He always treats me with respect & takes his time to explain my injuries. I highly recommend Dr. Chrisoforo. I have seen dozens of orthopedics for various injuries, and he is one of the best I've ever seen.
“Excellent physician”

Dr. Christoforou is one of the best. He is kind, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. He was the one that told me that I had an autoimmune disease before I even knew. He looked at my finger and told me to get to a rheumatologist. There isolate not enough great things I could say about this dr. I feel that I was lucky enough to find him and his practice.
“Great doctor”

I met Dr Christoforou for the first time after being brought to the emergency room 7/28/17. I had a very bad hand accident. A blender malfunctioned and came apart. The blade on the machine shredded my hand. Tendons and nerves were severed in multiple places. Dr. C. and his excellent team spent 6.5 hours rebuilding my hand. Before I went into surgery he looked at me and reassured me that I was going to be ok. I have seen the Dr. multiple times since the surgery. My hand has full function!
“Compassionate, honest and truly concerned about his patient”
