Looking forward to receiving my knee care from Dr Antoci. I went to my appointment with an idea about how I wanted my knee to be treated, I don't like rushing into surgeries, cortisone shots or any of the like. Before I could even tell him my wishes he seemed to be on the same page. Hopefully after this round of PT I won't be back for another 5 years. (In a good way) |

I have complete faith in Dr. Antoci. I assume that is a result of the fact that I am painfree since my hip replacement surgery three years ago. He always pays attention and answers any and all questions, e.g. I asked a question about a problem with my fingers and before I could ask his opinion on which doctor to see, he gave me two references. Enough said. |

All my surgical apprehensions were gone after my visit . I was very impressed with Dr Antoci. He’s a good listen. I would also like to comment on Danielle Bessette PA she was warm, friendly and very engaging. She presented the post op course of rehab and what to expect in regards to pain quite well. I feel I am better prepared. They make a great team. |

Dr. Antoci called me to follow up re the Friday visit which left me feeling a bit upset. I have, over the past two years, had a good rapport with him and greatly appreciated his call in which he clarified my questions and made a major effort to expedite my need for follow up surgery so I will receive the best possible care. He is an excellent doctor who does his best to inform me of my status. |

I have said it before and I will say it again, Dr. Antoci saved my life! He is not only a skilled surgeon, but a fabulous human. (The question in regards to time. I do not know what time it was when I saw Dr. Antoci. I do not watch the clock. I can say, however, that he is 100% worth any wait and gives his undivided attention when he is with me.) |

I waited almost an hour to be seen after checking in. Once in the exam room some tech tried to smooth my irritation for waiting so long. After another 10 mins Dr. Came in. Administered knee shot and went off on me how busy he was. He obviously was briefed of my displeasure by the tech.. I first saw Dr. Antochi way back with an afternoon appt. and waited over an hour and a half. I was told by Dr. Antochi if I made an earlier appt. the wait may not be so bad. He explained way back that as the day goes by with customers sometimes requiring more time appointments fall later. I do understand that. I did what he suggested making apps. for 8:30 am. Made no difference at all still waiting almost an hour for every appointment. Even having a tech come out on occasion and explaining I had not been ignored would be progress and appreciated. Others were just as aggravated as me with the waiting. This University Orthopedic place is suppose to be a classy and professional operation. All I am seeing are a bunch of money hungry folks, with a gorgeous building and attitude that we owe them our time to wait. Even when checking out, I had to wait for a person to get behind a desk and then she told me to go around the office through a couple of doors to get to her station, she was rude about that as well. I left, while walking out one person at the check in window observed me not being happy I guess and offered to help me check out. She was the only one of the day I would say represented the organization well. Well I do not and I am actively seeking other care to take care of my knee issues. I truly do not expect to hear from anyone and this is probably a waste of my time as is keeping up my portal for University Ortho. that cant even keep that up to date. There folks were much better when at the Butler Complex. University Orthopedics has got to big for there britches and the patients are feeling it. Its becoming a common conversation in how down the tubes University has become. Note: I am NOT complaining about DR. Antochis care of my injury, that is fine and has been. Its the way treated as a patient I am upset about. |

Dr. Antoci has changed my quality of life tremendously since having my knee replacement. For the first time in 4.5 years, I no longer need an assistive device to walk around.

TeleHealth appointment is not appropriate as my mother can not hear over the phone. No Dr or PA was there on the TeleHealth website for our 1:30 appointment. I had to call the office to let them know the Dr wasn’t there. When he called 40 minutes late, the nursing staff from the Assisted Living was not available to attend the session. When a substitute Nurse was provided, she didn’t have the information the Dr was looking for and didn’t know my mother well enough to report on her.The Dr agreed to in person visits in the future. |

Except for having to wait over 45 minutes Dr. Antoci was excellent. I did have issue with the Resident that was working with him. First he pressed on my Bakers Cyst until I flinched, then nonchalantly asked if that hurt. He then started examining my knee and leg, lifted it out straight. He then asked me to relax my leg and he proceeded to twist my leg lifting my buttocks off the exam table in pain! I said what the hell are you trying to do? His response was I’m trying to hurt you. I returned to work but could not finish the day due the pain I had in my knee. It is now two days later and I’m sitting in the recliner with my knee wrapped in ice trying to reduce the swelling and pain.This Resident needs some type of supervision and some lessons in bedside manner! |

Dr Antoci was informative and thorough in what was my first visit. Answered all my questions and was most interested in what I could do to rehab rather rush to surgery. But aside from that the entire office staff from check in to check out including initial interactions with medical staff and Xray tech before seeing the doctor could not have been better. Well done and very unusual by today’s standards! I Highly recommend this doctor!! |

I have answered a large number of questions with N/A because I did not actually see Dr. Antoci on this visit; I was seen by his assistant (whose name I did not get). My checkup was routine, requiring xrays, but there were no problems (as expected). All questions were answered to my satisfaction, and I was impressed with her professionalism. My original surgery was the result of a mishap, a slip on the ice, resulting in a broken femur a clean break but one which was most effectively remedied by a hip replacement, and Dr. Antoci was the only surgeon on duty qualified to perform the replacement. (I didn't even meet him until after I was repaired.) I have been happy with the results, and no problems have resulted. The need for followup is really minimal, but in spite of minimal direct interaction with him, would certainly recommend him to someone else with a similar problem. |

He would not listen to me when i tried to tell him how much pain i was in i told him thati havent slept in 11 nights because of the pai he said he couldnt give me anything for it until i have the operation witch by that time i wouldnt need them because the hip replacement will be done and i wont need the pain killers im only on them because of th excruciating pain that im in right at this moment he put me in a real difficult situation either i look for a new doctor and jump through all the hoops getting all the test done again to see if he would perscrbe something for me to make it bearable to have some type of existence of quality of life or number 2 witch is the easiest road but really dangerous is to buy illegal painkillers of the steet just to function as a productive member of society those are the only options open to me with the second one he would perscrbe something for me to make it bearable to have some type of existence of quality of life or number 2 witch is the easiest road but really dangerous is to buy illegal painkillers of the steet just to function as a productive member of society those are the only options open to me with the second one could end up killing me this is how University orthopedics cares for their patients its a sad state of affairs that one of the leading orthopedic facilities in Rhode Island treats their patients.im going to make sure that doctors in this field and news outlets will find out.that all you care about is your bottom line | 20% |

HI.. I didnt see my xrays and I thought I would. I didnt come away with any better understanding of when I should get a knee replacement. The Meloxicam he prescribed has a lot of side effects that were not explained to me. One being it raises your blood pressure. I thought we would talk more about my options. I did get a graph showing me how much better I would feel if I did get a knee replacement. But the talk we had focused on managing it with drugs. That wasn't why I came in. I really wanted to find out more about a knee replacement..So I was disappointed when I walked away with a prescription. |

I spent close to 3 hrs. There for a 15 min. “Exam”(if you call it that.) I will not take any more of my time writing about it. If you wish to call me and record what I tell you that would be fine. I will neither return or recommend Dr. Antoci or go back to University Orthopedics unless there is no other place in the state. It is a dismally run “medical” group without any heartfelt connection to common curtsies or empathy or compassion. It is run for the “time” convenience of the Doctors only. None for a new patient. Lacking common courtesies and empathy for the injured. It spoke clearly that it was being run for the benefit of the Doctors and time was of the essence. Healing was not worth mentioning much; compassion & understanding for the patient was unnecessary to the flow of moving on with the next patient.Here are briefly a few outstanding oddities After filling out the usual new patient papers in the waiting room, I was called in to be xrayed much to my amazement because I had never talked to or seen the Dr. and I wondered how they knew what to Xray. to be continued if you are interested.Before seeing the Doctor in his office A visiting students questioning |

I waited for 1 hour for my appt w/ Dr Antoci for a 5 min visit. I had a 1:15 appt. The male employee who called me in called in a man before me who had an earlier appt, but the man asked if his wife could also go in but she had a 1:30 appt. He said sure you can both go in. Therefore, a patient who had an appt 15 min after me went in first and delayed my visit. I did not say anything but I was very annoyed. That should not have happened!! | 90% |

I would appear from communications from Dr. Antoci's office that there is some type of follow up to my last visit, however the rationale is not clear. Have been informed that come Monday, January 14 this will be clarified. Am particularly concerned with what appears to be deterioration in my overall ability to ambulate, overall balance which has been addressed though from a cognitive perspective continue to teach the use, and basic maintenance of computers at the local Senior Center,and in continuing my education online in various disciplines which I have an interest at the audit level. | 100% |

I had knee surgery about a year ago and Dr. Fadale was my surgeon. When I started experiencing the same issue with my other knee I called his office for an appointment, to my surprise I was told that he does not take patients over 65 and was referred to dr Antoci. Disappointed and a bit apprehensive I scheduled the appointment with Dr. Antoci. I am happy to report I was very pleased with the visit. I will continue with Dr Antoci for any orthopedic needs I may have in the future related to his specialty. Still extremely dissspointed about Dr. fadale. | 100% |
I have not received my packet for my coming surgery for 1/9/19 yet. | 100% |
Great guy!!!!! I did my research after Dr Bliss retired and picked Dr Antoci out of the practice and couldn’t be any happy with his demeanor and professionalism. | 100% |
Dr. Antoci was very helpful and explained my options very well in layman’s terms. | 100% |
Unfortunately, Dr. Antocci either had a competing appt. or had an urgent need come up. He poked his head in the door, informed me that he couldn't see me, asked if everything was ok ﴾it was﴿, stated that I should get my copay back and book for another yearly increment. I would value the time to speak to Dr. Antocci, or another conversant informed care giver. I take my hip replacement seriously, never saw the x‐rays taken on the day of visit, and took time off work to make the appointment. I understand that emergencies happen. I am extremely happy with the results of the surgery ﴾done 4 Oct 2017﴿, and am happy with my levels of recovery, pain, and mobility. I worry that Dr. Antocci is getting too busy. | 80% |
Was very pleased with my care | 100% |

Dr Antoci's assistant did a nice job of setting a relaxed but professional setting by helping with the paperwork and taking my history ‐ That helped a lot. Dr Antoci then stepped in. He is a really nice guy and very knowledgeable. He worked caringly with me to learn my medical history concerning my left knee , he did a very thorough physical exam of my knee and together we came up with a plan for treatment going forward. My experience with him could not have been better. I am very pleased that Dr Antoci has been assigned to my case. | 100% |

I had another problem that I mentioned to the doctor regarding the right knee. He did not seem too concerned with the problem and said it could a Baker's cyst. No xray was taken . This seemed strange to me. |

Dr. Antoci exceeded all of my expectations! I am an independent thinker and often find doctors are either on autopilot or dismissive. Dr. Antoci was neither. He engaged with me as an intelligent human being with fears questions and concerns. He had reviewed my films and prior doctor notes and was able to speak to me immediately about relevant care and tips on physical therapy to ensure my artificial hip does not dislocate again. I look forward to continuing my follow up care with him. |

He explained the need for a hip injection and I agreed with that. But I wanted to be put to sleep because of bad experiences with back injections in the past. I am afraid of having an injection because of the pain I am in. |

When I made a comment about something that I found difficult (putting on socks) Dr. Antoci surprised me by asking exactly how I did it. and followed up my explanation/demonstration by asking how I did it with the other foot. Completely logical but not the kind of interaction I've had with some other doctors. |

In general I was very pleased with my meeting with the doctor. I was able to ask the questions that I needed to and felt that I understood his responses. But as I look back I realize it would’ve been very useful for him to have a look at me standing in order to factor in scoliosis so that I could have a broader view of how I could use and move my body relating to the anatomical anomalies. For the future I think it’s important information for the doctor to see patient standing to look at how whole overall the spinal curves. This could inform how those anomalies relate to the hip condition. I would’ve found this incredibly useful as I am a yoga teacher and deeply interested in anatomy not to mention my own! Thanks. |

The only negative about the visit is that when he came in the room he asked me how my knee was. But he replaced my hip. So it seems he hadn't even checked my file to see who I was and why I was there. |
