Suggestions & Reviews for Andrew Louis DEGRUCCIO MD

His new office is wonderful and in a nice location. I think he will do really well here. He is a great Orthopedic Surgeon, with more than 10 years experience, that gives patients the time they deserve and explains things to his patients so they have a clear understanding of their problems. He has a small office staff so that you'll see the same people each time you come and you can get to know them, as they know you. They truly care about the patients they take care of.
