- 5.0May 21, 2025This visit was for a knee injury. I was referred to orthopedic Dr.Avallone by my primary Dr.Susan Palmer. She ordered some initial radiology and due to the results recommended a specialist. I was given an appointment within Atlantic Health very promptly. My visit with Dr.Avallone was very positive. He discussed my MRI , current knee condition and encouraged me to initiate a medical and physical therapy plan to improve my pain and discomfort. I am already set up for an Atlantic Health physical therapy evaluation and my medical appointment with Dr. Avallone was yesterday! His staff gave me proper information to set up my therapy/PT. I would recommend Dr.Avallone and his staff to others. I thank my Primary physician Dr. Palmer for both her initial assessment and prompt referral to an orthopedic. My injury is being addressed quickly and I hope conservative measures and physical therapy will hasten my recovery. All in all, a very positive experience with my Atlantic Health physicians.
