Dr. Scarangella – Testimonials
Very knowledgeable office staff
Dr. Scarangella was engaging, professional and provided multiple solutions for consideration. I would highly recommend him.
Had hand op for arthritis and very pleased with the results. DR is very personable and staff is great.
They make you feel comfortable when you go to the doctor appointment.
In February 2002 while in line skating, I broke my right wrist. Dr Scarangella was awesome and so was his team. Eventually I’d even forget it had been broken. Fast forward to September 2022. I fell and broke the same wrist. I was so happy to find Dr Scarangella still practiced. Once again he’s done an excellent job. He and his team treat with caring and dignity. I recommend him highly. After all, I’m a repeat customer! Thank you Dr Scarangella!
Everyone was awesome
The office was immediately friendly - unlike another ortho office in Farmington where I went multiple times for stiffness in my thumb. That office wasn’t open when I needed to go for a new knee issue so I called here and got in that morning. The X-ray tech Dr Schmidtberg put me at ease right away, diagnosis was quick, not a super serious issue, I’m not an athlete w/ a terrible injury. I mostly went to see what I should and shouldn’t be doing to get it to heal completely since it was taking a bit. The doctor was friendly, funny, knowledgeable and answered all my questions w/ patience. I mentioned my ongoing hand issue and he wanted to know more about that. We decided to go w/ a cortisone shot for that because it’d gone on so long. I’d put it off because I wasn’t sure exactly what to do and the previous office didn’t help me much w/ making that decision. Highly recommend this office.
The office is easy to find. Office staff is friendly. Dr.Scarengella explains things clearly and is able to take on new patients quickly.
Everyone gets A++ at H.O.S. I highly recommend this group of professionals. I am actually looking forward to my follow-up! PS: My back is much better just from the arthritis meds prescribed .... and I haven't even started my P.T. training yet.
