Patient comments
Good care
Dr. Curcillo was wonderful in the way he explained the two procedures he may have to use during surgery. His staff is always friendly and professional.
Dr. Curcillo is an excellent Doctor and has a very compassionate and understanding demeanor. I've had numerous consultations with the Dr. Curcillo and his team and both are always well prepared, knowledgeable, and compassionate. I would highly recommend Dr. Curcillo and his Team to anyone in need of routine care all the way through the need for serious conditions requiring surgical intervention! My treatment and all of my interactions with all Doctors, Nurses, and support personnel at Foxchase have been "top shelf", and Dr. Curcillo follows in this tradition and is a Great asset to Foxchase and its mission to both provide the highest quality medical treatment including the latest techniques and developments and always with a patient centered focus.
Dr. Curcillo listens and shares his knowledge in a very open humble way. Great surgeon!
I like to have more explain about the surgery that I had.
