Dr. diGiovanni is an exceptional individual who was straight-forward, brilliant, sympathetic. As was his understudy, Dr. [redacted].


December 2024

Excellent from start to finish. Dr D and [redacted] and all the staff are the best, from the beginning to the pre op and post op and follow up. I always felt well cared for and especially when there was a bit of a hiccup in the post surgical recovery, that need immediate treatment at MGH.
