Associates in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation of SW PA

"Glad I found a doctor who listens to what I know works for me. I have had chronic shoulder and neck issues for 20 years. I get my Trigger point injections every three months and couldn't be happier with this service provider."

"I went in for an EMG/Nerve Conduction test. The doctor was rude, he would ask a lot of questions, when I started to answer he would say I don't need to know that. He did the test with the electrodes then started the needling procedure. He left these huge bruises all over my body. The next day I couldn't get out of bed, I was in excruciating pain, I don't know what he did but all day I was sleeping I couldn't keep my eyes open. It was very scary. I would suggest avoiding this practice at all costs."

"I highly recommend you see another doctor. They will lie to you. They will tell you that you have coverage and turn around and bill you. Although you will never receive a bill NOR a phone call. They will NOT help you resolve any bill inquiries, they will tell you to contact the debt collector. Extremely rude I might add. I would advise you to contact Dr. Anthony Ricci, very polite and quick to answer any and all questions."

"I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Platto and his office staff. I never have to wait long in the reception area. I never had to remove all my clothes for my examination. At my first appointment I had to put on a hospital gown, but I had on my bra and underwear. Dr. Platto always listens to my questions and answers them. He has adjusted or changed my meds if I am having a problem with them. He has never rushed me out of his office. His office staff are very friendly and helpful. If I call in with an question, I always get an immediate answer. I don’t know where I would be without having Dr. Please and his staff."

"If you truly suffer chronic back pain and it's documented and you have been referred to 'pain management' for continued 'treatment', I am writing this to counsel you against seeing this doctor for any help. I experienced as many as 10 (at least) appointments with this 'doctor' and can say it was a huge waste of my time and my money of which we have very little. His heart is not into his work and his communication skills are below par. This man seems to be in this buisness for the money and I would be surprized if his practice were to continue for the long run. Eventually folks will come around to see the fraud this man is. He was responsible for stopping the pain medications I was on for a long while ( and they were strong medications for pain) without any kind of weening process whatsoever. Please do yourself better and seek help somewhere else in quick order. If you are a sincere person who has a case without question, you deserve so much more than what this sad man can provide."
