  2026-06-17

• My feedback for Dr. Mazzocca and his entire staff is that place is run like a Swiss watch. It is, first of all, they got me in so fast from my initial consultation with an orthopedic surgeon in Stoneham who referred me right away. And those folks somehow pulled strings or something to get me in to see Dr. Mazzocca the following week, which is so shocking and welcome. I couldn't believe it. And then the appointment ran on time. The staff knew about me, which was nice before I showed up. They worked well together.
