Valentin Antoci, MD

He’s an awesome doctor the best

I would like more times out other visits I had before him

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.

Everything was very good. I feel that I am in good hands.

Feeling comfortable with a doctor is of utmost importance...Dr. Valentin has an easy going style that I find welcoming.

Dr. Antoci was professional but took the time to explain everything in terms that we could understand.

Dr Antoci is the Hip Whisperer!

Dr. Antochi was amazing. Very caring and takes the time to explain everything. If I have to have another knee replacement he is definately the doctor that will be doing it. Great Doctor!

Dr ANTOCI is great Doctor. I recommend to my family and friends

He provided excellent care

It is a wonderful place I would recommend all my family and friends ...

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.

We had a rough start at communication. I’m happy to try again next visit.

Seeing the patient after a major or minor surgery would be appropriated.

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 have not seen Dr. Antochi since the day of my surgery, 6/3. I had thought my appointment yesterday , 9/4, was with him. Thr PA, was excelkent but my appointment was with Dr. Antochi.

Communication with offices very difficult to impossible

Always very happy to see Dr. Antoci. I think he is a wonderful doctor.

I feel very confident in having chosen Dr. Antoci for this very important surgery that I am having. I do have some unanswered questions about the PEPPER Study which I hope to get answered when I call the office on Monday.

This was the first time so had seen Dr Antoci since surgery . He reassured me that things were going well and gave me a good idea of the time frame required for a full recovery . A pleasure as always!

Very professional and courteous

At the last visit I was prescribed 1mg of alprazalem. However I am currently taking 0.25 mg therefore the 1mg is too much for me. Can u please make the necessary changes to the alpraxolam.. thank you

Everyone at office very knowledgeable and has been correct with care and outcome. PT there exceptional also

He has been very good at helping me with my hip.

Dr Antoci is fabulous!! No rushing you,truly cares about your issue.I recommend him to anyone and his staff is wonderful!!!

Quickly put an action plan in place after discussing it with me.

Dr Antoci is very compassionate & caring he listens & spends as much time as necessary to resolve your problems. He replaced both of my knees with little discomfort & great results.

Dr. Antoci is very caring and wonderful person and surgeon. The knee replacement went smoothly and successfully. I would recommend him to others in a heartbeat.

Dr. Anocci is a respectful, confident caring doctor who made me feel secure during and after my procedure surgery. I have recommended him to many people for his top quality skills. He’s happily met all my needs!

I left my visit with all the knowledge I needed. He is so down to earth which makes me feel very comfortable

Very clear with recommendations.

I was disappointed I never saw the dr.on my first visit.i saw chloe who was excellent but I thought he would at least check in with me!

Overall care was excellent but waiting an hour and a half after my scheduled appointment time was unacceptable.

He was a good listener and was able to make me understand my situation. He offered a referral and sent me for tests to better diagnose my problems.

Many thanks!

Wonderful follow up care.Once in the office Dr Antoci takes time and listens carefully, in addition the PA, and office support staff are kind, friendly and always willing to help

I feet confident that if I ever have a problem with my other hip that I would be in good hands here.

He is very knowledgable and smart, but also very personable and attentive. He takes as much time as is necessary to answer my questions, and he drew me a picture to help to fully explain something to me that I had asked. I love when doctors do this!!! Also, after he replaced my first hip, he came to my hospital room and got me up to go for my first walk with my new hip!! He’s a great doctor and a nice guy!!

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. I am so happy that I went ahead and had the surgery but, more importantly, chose Dr. Antoci as my surgeon. He is patient, kind and informative. Thank you so much!!

He is very attentive and doesn't bring a PC in. He is very personable. He takes the time to answer questions. He updated the records afterwards so everything was there at checkout.

Excellent Dr

I left without making a follow up appointment, I guess I needed more direction

Dr antoci always make me feel. Like ia the only patient he has thats why he has treated me 3 tomrs and i have referred may friends and family

God Bless You Dr Valentin Antoci,I'm very happy with my Parcial Knee Replacement surgery. Thank You

Very nice good doctor gave us his full attention . Listened to it concerns n gave great care

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.

This was my first visit with Dr. Antoci and I was most pleased with it. He is very personable and professional and I so appreciated him truly listening to me. He definitely warrants all of his wonderful reviews and recommendations.

I saw his PA and she was excellent

I am fully confidant that Dr. Antoci will do an excellent job in restoring my hip back to the way that it used to be so that I will be able to enjoy doing things the way I used to do them.

He is a caring Doctor and concerned about his patience. I have recommended him to a few people

While I answered the questions for Dr. Anton I, I actually only saw his PA. I saw him for a moment at the end of the visit. On my first visit for my issue, I did speak with Dr. Antoci at length.

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!!

Spend all of maybe 5 minutes with told me what I already knew that I needed a hip replacement that is why I went there. The exam room was not clean doctor handed me a card and I was told to call and book my surgery then when I did was told earliest was Sept 30. I can’t walk now bone on bone but I guess I will need to

I met with Chloe by telehealth . She was very helpful and considerate.

I appreciated information he gave about diet, supplements and exercise to help with my arthritis.

Dr Antoci is a wonderful human being ..He reconstructed my leg /knee so I will be to walk again. He is my hero !!

I was told by a hand full of people that they recommend him . Spoke very highly of him.

I was taken by surprise by what the doctor told me and didn’t ask enough questions which was my fault and not the doctor’s.

I have complete confidence in Dr Antoci and look forward to having my surgery performed by him.

i’m still waiting fir a call back fir my cell shots was supposed to get one last week

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.

Dr Antoci was very kind , personable , and calm . He sat down and answered all my questions that I brought with me . He comes across as very competent and experienced , and I feel quite confident knowing that he will be performing my surgery . I am in a great deal of pain and am looking forward to my new hip .

Easy.to talk to about our conditions. Offered clear concise suggestions for treatment

One of the best I have

I was very pleased with results of first surgery and looking forward to second surgery being just as successful. Dr. Antoci is very personable and knowledgeable and I am happy to recommend him.

I saw the PA. Never met the doctor

Kind and attentive

Everyone was very professional

Very pleasant/friendly bed side manner. I highly recommend Dr. Antoci to anybody needing a hip replacement!!

Personable and caring. Straight forward with medical information!

My visit with Dr Antoci was fine as indicated. What is not fine is no confirmation, confusing appointment times. This was a follow up which was originally scheduled for February. There seems to be confusion as to whether Dr Antoci works in East Greenwich and when. Improving on this would be helpful. Thank you

He listens and gives you advise. He takes the time to care.

Very nice surgeon

I am very pleased with my decision to have Dr. Antoci perform my total knee replacement. I feel very confident in his abilities and I have had a good reault.

very happy with my surgery.

Visits are quick . You gotta have questions ready. Energetic

Dr. Antoci is one of the best doctors I’ve ever had. He is friendly, patient, and caring. He is very attentive while listening to my concerns and questions. He responds with informative solutions to my questions. Having a hip replacement has been a challenging experience for me. But with his knowledge and compassion he gave me the assurance that I would heal and make progress. The aftercare as been fabulous. There aren’t many doctors I respect and trust as I do Dr. Antoci. I highly recommend Dr. Antoci!

Very good

I was seen first by the PA, who examined me and administered Corticosteroid Injection. I was also seen by Dr Antoci

He did a fantastic job with my hip. I can now walk again.

As always, a great listener. Always shows concern for my arthritis and it’s effects.By the time I left the parking lot, I had my tentative date for knee surgery, always, I feel he listens carefully and patiently.God bless him

Very caring doctor.

Excellent physician Caring doc

No coments

He made me feel very comfortable, as I am very nervous for this surgery. He is a very positive doctor and took the time to explain things. Would highly recommend him.

Dr Antoci and the entire staff are always courteous and professional.

My husband was operated on last year by Dr. Antoci, and I basically did my interview process from that time. Both my husband I were very satisfied with Dr. Antoci,

I was very impressed with the way Dr antocci and the entire office managed the protocols for virus control. They still managed to give friendly, efficient, and professional care.

He was very kind to me when I became upset that my surgery may be cancelled.

Dr. Antocci is a very friendly kind caring doctor who is very easy to talk to. He listens and explains any issue I may have and gives me answers to my questions that I can understand. He is always a professional doctor who I think cares about his patients health needs and concerns. He replaced both my knees and I couldn’t be more happier with the results. He did a fantastic job. I have no pain and I am walking like a pro.

Over the past year (plus ),have been very pleased with how I've been treated by all staff members. Wish I had consulted with the University ORTHOPEDIC group before my hip replacement 4 years ago.

I'm just so sorry that my surgery had to be put off again this is the second time because of this epidemic and I hope number is scheduled for the end of July that it will go forth because my knee is in a lot of pain thank you doctor Antoci you're doing a very good job

Thank you so much for the very best care! Stay safe and well!

Dr Antoci was a great listener. He asked time after time what else he could do for me or did I have additional questions for him. As a matter fact I came in with a list of questions and he took the piece of paper and answered every single one. A+ Surgical Center

Very professional.

I am extremely pleased with the success of my TNR. Thank you Dr. Antoci.

Dr Antoci was excellent, along with the entire staff at Kettle Point. This is my 2nd surgery in less than 3 months and the comfort level on the 2nd floor surgical center is very good and I am extremely happy with all pre op nurses and post op nurses. A+ rating.

Dr. Antocci is excellent and I would recommend him to anyone who needs a ortho. He is very thoughtful and explains everything. He takes time to listen especially if you have concerns about another issue as I did in my case.

Not be able to shake his hand or see his face do to the new virus was not comfortable

Dr Antoci came in to see me for a very few seconds. He had to leave to take a phone call. He did not see or discuss with him any longer. His PA TOOK EXCELLENT care giving me a shot.

He is the BEST surgeon ever. He performed 2 hip surgeries on me. So very happy that I’m mobile again, due to Dr Antoci!

I did not see Dr. Antoci and I am very disappointed with that. Every person I saw communicated that Dr Antoci would be in to see me. The PA was fine, I am upset that I did not see the doctor and upset with myself that I didn’t speak up.

He realized the amount of pain that I was in. Made sure my car was brought up to front door for me. Discussed 2 options of pain relief and went with the stronger one available. Felt like he listened and as a result he cared.

The Dr and his Team responded to my emailed requests to participate via phone during the appointment and respected my email requests. Thank you so much.

The doctor is very good in explaining a hip replacement. My only frustration is the projected wait of 2 months & 3 weeks to have the procedure.

Dr.Antoci went above and beyond what I was expecting. I left there feeling positive and hopeful about my situation!ThankyouDr.AntociI'monegratefulpatient.

Very caring and concerned for my well being. Took time to listen to all my needs. A wonderful and positive experience!

The doctor was very friendly making me feel less nervous and comfortable. He explained things in a language that was understandable. I had an excellent visit and the procedure done by the PA has greatly helped me. I am very greatful for their care and compassion.

He left before I could ask him questions. In the past he was there longer to answer my questions.was a bit upset

From my very first appointment I have been extremely impressed with the timeliness, orderliness, and professionalism of your whole staff. Thank you.

I am very pleased with my care by Dr Antoci and would highly recommend him and University Orthopedics

Now that my surgery done I feel Dr Valentin Antoci is less interest in seeing me. He was nice but said my xrays looked good but my last X­ray was last done a year ago. I was there to make sure the pain I was feeling was normal. So I was a little disappointed

I appreciate the way Dr. Valentine Antoci treat me on my appointment. He has an impeccable manners, he listens to my concern. I already recommended him to my friend who have the same problem with me.

Awesome to deal with. Does not rush and takes his time with any concerns I may have

Dr. Antoci is not only an excellent surgeon, he is a very nice, kind and caring person. I would always recommend him to anyone who asks. He always gets back to me about questions I have written to him through the Patient Portal. He is very encouraging about my post­op progress, and consistently writes scrips for me for meditations and physical therapy. I would always give him a 5­star rating! Catherine M. Shea

Waiting time from scheduled visit time is way to long! It’s Ridiculous!

The reason my ratings were so low is that 1) I had expected to have a shot for my hip and it was put off
because I needed 2 appointments for this. Apparently he wasn't expecting it. 2) I said I needed work for my
shoulder, and he asked if I wanted a shot for that. I said yes, but I really need a diagnosis first, and didn't 70% have a chance to discuss this. It's been a while since I've seen him in the past, so I really don't have a way of rating him.

He is without a doubt one of the best Dr."s I have ever dealt with. 5 stars all the way.

The X­ray techs did not listen when I tried to tell them what I was supposed to be getting x­rayed and I had to end up going back into the extra room to get the X­rays I was supposed to get they paid no attention to me and they pay no regard to what I was trying to tell them

Excellent surgery procedure, fantastic follow up, busy but caring practice.

Everything went well.

Terrific doctor and surgeon.

Very knowledgeable and personable.

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.

A couple people told me he was the best so that’s why I wanted to see him. I was not disappointed in the care I received.

He did an amazing job lessening my anxiety about needing hip surgery

Dr. Antoci was very good. He explained what I can do to put surgery off since my knee does not hurt. Wasn’t pushing for surgery which I appreciate. I wanted to establish a relationship so when my knee does cause me pain he may have some history. I appreciated his opinion

It was a pleasure to meet Dr. Antoci and get his opinion on my issue. I look forward to having him as my surgeon when the time comes.

Excellent visit receiving very good recommendations of exercises to improve the strength in my knee and thigh.

My visit with Dr.Antoci was very positive. I will stay positive with my situation and prey the infection goes away

He's very personable, easy to communicate with and knowledgeable. I felt like I had a good handle on what my next steps in the process are. Huge difference from my experience with the previous provider.

I appreciate the fact that Dr. Antoci made me feel more at ease about my surgery.

I have the absolute fullest confidence in Dr Antoci.

I was extremely happy with my first visit and am looking forward to seeing the doctor again.

Ask me again after my total knee surgery

Dr Fadale treated me many years ago, the treatment and interactions I had with the doctor and university staff was outstanding. I developed an additional issue and was subsequently treated by Dr Antoci, again the treatment and interaction with the university staff and Dr Antoci was again outstanding although I am dealing with a medical condition that is concerning to me I return to University Orthopedics because I feel that I would not receive better treatment anywhere else.

Dr ANTOCI clearly understands what I need and advises me accordingly. I like his approach.

He’s terrific!

The Dr was awsome in every phase of my treatment thank you

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

Seemed very rushed.

I thought Dr. Antoci was great. One thing that should be improved upon is the availability of his surgery appointments. Those suffering in pain shouldn’t have to wait several months for surgery.

I failed to let Dr Antoci know of the severity of the pain Radiating down the front of my thigh as well as the pain in my hip making it painful for me to walk.

Thank you Dr. Antoci!!!

Great doctor. Would like more of his opinion on the pain in my IT band.

Beautiful people at this facility oh I love Diana and Dr. Valentina treat you like a queen I love this doctor he has done the best thing for me he looks out for my health I have so much faith in him I know it will be done and done right I love University orthopedics I also see Dr Slaby Dr Ng and they were great doctors as well

I felt I was in good hands, when I'll have surgery.

Dr. Antoci was very respectful and understanding of my situation. I felt comfortable and at ease with our discussion and if it ever became necessary I would seek to get his advice again

Everyone there was very kind and respectful was very happy with the Doctor. Took the time to shake my hand and my four year old grandson hand also. He said that the doctor was very nice.
