Dr. Auriemma is literally the BEST! The first day of me coming to ROSM for my appointment with him has been life changing in the most positive way! Dr. Auriemma listened to my concerns and worked intentionally to find out why my hip was causing me pain and discomfort, and once he found out, he provided me with all my solutions. I'm not happy that I had a hit injury, but I am blessed that I have him in my corner working to get me back to 100 percent. Since I began treatment with Dr. Auriemma my hip feels better everyday! He has been the ONLY person who has been able to help me uncover and provide heeling to my hip and I am forever grateful. I wish he could be my primary care doctor -- that's just how amazing he is.

I went to Dr. Auriemma with chronic, constant pain and was told that knee replacement was my only option. Dr. Auriemma was very fair and balanced in his diagnosis, and explained my chances of success with Lipogems if I proceeded. He did not push or sell his services, but gave me the information to make a decision. I decided to have the treatment, and followed his plan for post-treatment exactly. I am 2 months out, and haven't had pain for a few weeks. While it's difficult to say what will happen as I move forward, I am very pleased with my decision to postpone knee replacement. Dr. Auriemma is top notch in his bedside manner, knowledge, listening skills, and providing clear instructions and guidance. I am extremely pleased with my results so far, and with him as a doctor. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an alternative to surgery.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Auriemma. He patiently listened to my story and spent time with me - I never felt like my treatment was being rushed. Dr. Auriemma explained his diagnosis and several treatment plans. He proposed both conservative and aggressive plans, thoroughly informing me of the pros and cons of both. Most importantly, the treatment plan we implemented was MY choice. Within days, my pain had subsided. I highly recommend Dr. Auriemma if you're in pain. Don't wait!

I can’t say for sure yet whether my PRP injections two weeks ago are going to help my hip, but I knew coming into this that it was a long road, but I still felt it was better than another surgery. What I can say definitively is that I really like and trust Dr. Auriemma. He is everything I wrote in my review headline and more. I would recommend him to anyone.

I'm currently seeing Dr. Auriemma for upper back pain. He is the second doctor I've seen for this issue.

Dr. Auriemma has been fantastic. All of my visits have been centered around my goals, and he's taken significant time to explore various pros and cons of different treatment of approaches with me. When I've shown up with different concerns to an appointment, he's made time to hear them out and doesn't even give the slightest hint I've been disruptive. Highly recommend!

Dr. Auriemma spent a great deal of time listening and explaining treatment options so we could determine the way forward. Provided PRP injections in office and stayed in close contact during my recovery and rehab. Great communication when I had questions weeks after the procedure. All is trending well and I am very confident I will be able to return to running.

Dr. Auriemma used hydro-disection to detach scare tissue from muscle and skin following infection from breast cancer reconstructive surgery, enabling final stage surgery. He used a non-traditional procedure to remedy what is a surprisingly frequent outcome of breast reconstructive surgery, and to great effect.

I have dealt with hyper-mobility issues my entire life. It took me nearly 4 decades to identify what was happening and understand the mechanics of how this impacts my joints and movement. Dr. Auriemma is the first MD that I have ever met who understands deeply the condition of hyper-mobility. Not only is he knowledgeable and experienced in this matter, but he is also gifted in both his ability to explain AND his ability to listen. Further, he is gentle with his approach and mindful in all he does. I got my 2nd round (ever) of PGRF/PRP with him and, for the first time in 10 years, I can engage muscles and feel deep supported strength inside my core which I had nearly forgotten was a possibility. I feel stronger than ever and just SO grateful to have found Dr. Auriemma and ROSM because now I can be in my body and not be in chronic pain living with a constant fear of injury. It is amazing!! THANK YOU!!!!

Dr. Auriemma has spent two hours with me total over two appointments, and I never felt rushed or dismissed. His medical assistant, Shonda, is terrific and made me feel right at home. I had diagnostic ultrasound and injection, and I have scheduled PRP for April. I am one year post-op after a hip labrum reconstruction, and I am still feeling pain and limitations in movement, despite trying PT, dry needling, deep tissue massage, cupping, an acupuncture. I feel optimistic for the first time in over a year that I might get better.

He has excellent bedside manor, spending time with me to make sure he understood my specific (and complicated) shoulder problems. He helped diagnose a problem that had possibly been mis-diagnosed and needlessly operated on by other physicians. Dr. Auriemma understood my pain, worked collaboratively to determine the best course of attack, and kept me informed of timelines and insurance coverage.
