Patient comments
Great doctor. I have full confidence in his knowledge and experience in treating me.
Dr. Curcillo is a brilliant surgeon, and a great guy with a wonderful bed side manner.
Dr. C and his team are excellent!!!
I have been a patient of Dr. Curcillo for many years and this was my 3rd surgery that he performed on me. He also performed one surgery on my husband. Always a great experience with Dr. Curcillo and his staff. I recommended a friend to Dr. Curcillo and he was also very pleased. I highly recommend him.
I have followed Dr. Paul Curcillo for over (20) years from his previous hospitals to FCCC. Dr. Curcillo is the reason I am alive today. He is ALWAYS available, he ALWAYS calls to check on me after the many surgeries he has successfully performed on me, he is ALWAYS positive that I will have a good outcome, and Dr. Curcillo's skills ensure that good outcome. As an educational administrator and professional development coordinator for over (40) years, I suggest that all physicians and staff at FCCC observe Dr. Curcillo, [...] techniques and practices. This team has treated many of my friends from NJ, and they are the reason our family will continue to trust them and financially support FCCC.
