Patient comments
Have recommended several family & friends that have become patients of Dr Curcillo. He's the BEST and same for […], although she was not a part of this survey.
Dr. Curcillo has been my surgeon since 2002. He is phenomenal! I would trust him with my life and always know that he has my best interest in every decision that he makes. He has brought me through some very tough medical conditions in my life. He doesn't just treat my condition, he treats me-the person. Dr. Curcillo is extremely knowledgeable, kind, compassionate, competent, and respectful. There are not enough adjectives to describe the doctor, and the person that he is!
Dr. Curcillo is an excellent physician and surgeon. He is compassionate, respectful, and extremely talented. His kindness always puts his patients at ease with any questions or concerns that they may have. I was referred to Dr. Curcillo over 20 years ago for my first surgery and then four years ago for my second surgery. My mother is a new patient this year. I will continue to refer family and friends to Dr. Curcillo. Thank you.
Dr. Curcillo has been very generous with his time and in making recommendations for persons I've referred to Fox Chase.
I'm so happy to have Dr. Paul Curcillo M.D. For my DR. He is a very caring person and the staff are so beautiful. I respect All of my Doctor they're Awesome.
