Patient Reviews: Dr. Steven Giuseffi

“Last year was the year of surgeries for me. In March I had surgery on my right torn rotator cuff. The surgery went great, the therapy was a little tough but I have no restrictions on that arm. Then 6 months later, I had surgery on my left torn rotator cuff. They did have to cut one of my biceps due to chronic conditions,but all in all the surgery went great. Once again the therapy was a little tougher but I have no restrictions on my left either. I want to thank all the personnel , staff, and assistants for taking such good care of me. I would like to especially thank Dr. Giuseffi for his professional excellence, also his personal one on one demeanor, he explained everything in detail and was attentive. Thank you all.”

“I came in for some elbow pain that I was experiencing while strength training. I already had one opinion and a first step of treatment (rest and meds) completed. I wanted a second opinion on the diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Giuseffi confirmed the diagnosis and listened to my concerns as an avid lifter and helped determine a treatment plan for physical therapy that took into consideration my personal/lifestyle choices. I really appreciated that. I treated with AJ for about a month and learned more about the injury and ways to prevent the triceps tendinitis from flaring up on me. I am now back in full swing at the gym and am so far extremely satisfied with the care that I received at your facility. Props to Dr. Giuseffi and AJ both. Their character, abilities, and concern for my wellbeing were very evident throughout the whole process. Thanks again!”

“Dr. Giuseffi has always been very caring and professional. He always answered all my questions in a way that I could understand the surgery and the healing process. He has been great at the follow-up visits, making sure that no problems or injuries occurred from physical therapy. If I ever have to have another surgery, I would not hesitate to contact Dr. Giuseffi.”

“I was having knee problems for 4–5 years and all the doctors told me there was nothing wrong. This was between the age range of 12–16. I was 17 and joined the Army National Guard and was in so much pain when I would run. Dr. Giuseffi was my last chance and he found that I had a tear in my hip. I was so grateful to finally know what was wrong after that many years. Thank you!”

“I was very pleased with my entire experience at Black Hills Orthopedic & Spine Center. The entire staff was friendly and helpful. Dr. Giuseffi explained my treatment and the healing process in language that was easy to understand, and was spot on in regards to the time frame to full recovery.”

“I had rotator cuff repair last year in October. I had heard all the horror stories about the pain involved, but was unable to do the one thing in my life I am most passionate about:  gardening.  Dr Giuseffi was my surgeon, and the procedure, while not painless, it was with minimal pain.  It did take about 5 months for strength to return to the shoulder but I was able to sleep every night after surgery where before that I woke up repeatedly from pain nightly.  This year I am back to unloading pick-up loads of compost and shredded bark, hoeing, raking,  digging and of course harvesting the flowers and vegetables I have grown.  Last spring I built 3 new raised beds, hammering away.  Dr. Giuseffi did a fantastic job, has a wonderful bedside manner and is a genuinely nice guy.  My experience at Black Hills Orthopedics was wonderful, from the first minute at the reception desk to the nurses, surgery planners and billing.  BH Ortho sets the bar high in providing patient care and is an example of excellence.  I appreciate your help getting me back to my passion.”
