PATIENT TESTIMONIALS
Dear Dr. Montalbano,
This note is long past overdue. There are not enough words to tell you how much I appreciate everyone at IOrtho. I have been with Regional Orthopedics and IOrtho on and off since 2015 depending on my insurance coverage at the time.
Everyone has always been professional, caring, friendly, and helpful. They consistently go above and beyond to ensure that everything runs smoothly throughout the office and that the patients are treated in a warm and welcoming manner.
I don’t know what I would do without Dr. Husain. I first started seeing him in 2019 when I was diagnosed with cancer to help me manage the pain in my knees and back during my chemo and radiation treatments and I am so glad that he is still there for me today.
I have been going to IOrtho Rehab for my knees for 16 months and the last few months for my back. I know that I don’t have to tell you what wonderful people you have there. Jay, Walter and Jonathan certainly showed how dedicated they are to their patients and IOrtho during the months that they were short staffed. They always provided the same amount of care and attention as they dId when fully staffed. They never showed any signs of being stressed during that time and I’m sure that there were many times that they were. Having Brea and Faith onboard now to complete the physical therapy staff has been wonderful. I am grateful to have Jay as my physical therapist, the knowledge and experience that he has brought with him to IOrtho Rehab is simply amazing. He is a master with kinetic tape; he has been taping my knees for the last few months and my pain level goes from an 8 to almost a a immediately and stays that way for close to a weeki I was excited to hear that the pool may be opening soon, I was all set to start last July and just before my first appointment I received the call that its use was being suspended.
Unfortunately, I was recently informed that Medicare is no longer authorizing my physical therapy because I have met my annual threshold amount. To say that I was devastated is an understatement. After talking with two Medicare supervisors and with Jen and Liz’s help I am hoping that I’ll be able to continue with physical therapy in the next few weeks. My
fingers and toes are crossed that all will work out. On my way out to the parking lot last week, a woman stopped me and asked me if I was happy and sa i fied with IOrtho. I told her that’ never had any regrets and that no matter what the reason was that brought her there, she would be in good hands and wouldn’t regret her decision.
I enjoy using the outside seating area and I can’t wait to see what you and your landscaper have planned this year, I know it will be beautiful. With all the renovations and improvements that you’ve made over the past few years, you have made IOrtho the best of the best!
I thank you for IOrtho, for everyone there and for all that they have done for me over the past nine years. On a scale of 1-10, IOrtho is an 11!
Yours truly,
E. F.

E D F2023-12-07I cannot say enough amazing things about Ortho Rehab. Everyone there is caring, friendly and professional. It is well managed, organized and clean with up-to-date equipment. Jay is a phenomenal physical therapist with a warm bedside manner. He is knowledgeable, compassionate, empathetic, and dedicated to his patients (young and old) and a wonderful person on top of all that. He listens intently and takes his time to explain and answer your questions so you can understand what’s happening with your body. Under Jay’s guidance are three highly trained PT Aides. Walter, Jonathan and Faith will show you the proper use of the equipment and exercise routines. They will patiently guide you through each exercise with encouragement and motivation, helping you to achieve your recovery. You won’t regret choosing IOrtho Rehab for your recovery treatment, they are a step above the rest. Sent from my iPad
Regina Rutledge2023-11-20I had carpal tunnel release with real-time ultrasound guidance in both hands performed by Dr. Montalbano. This was done in the procedure room at the office. The procedure was quick and easy. There was no pain during the procedure. No stitches were required. No physical therapy required. Dr. Montalbano showed me exercises for my hands. Advil was sufficient post operation. Dr. Montalbano and his staff are very professional and kind. I was in good hands.
Carol Mz282023-11-17I am going to try to put into words my wonderful experiences with Dr. Husain yet I know they will fall short from the real, factual care he has provided me with several medical problems. I have not only Rheumatoid Arthritis but also Osteoarthritis and a degenerative spine. For over 25 years I have suffered from daily pain which eventually made me retire from work before my desired time. I went from doctor to doctor, including pain management physicians, with little to no relief. In April of this year I fractured my pelvis and went to iOrtho. With in office procedures and carefully selected medication, Dr. Husain relieved my chronic pain as well as my acute fracture pain. I felt good. Something I never thought I would say. He has a warm bedside manner. He listens carefully to your symptoms in a non-judgmental way. He genuinely cares for you and spends as much time as you need. While going through my pelvic fracture healing, I used crutches to keep weight off my fractured side. I started to develop pain in my shoulders, arms and tingling in my hands. I told Dr Husain my new problems on my scheduled visit blaming my crutches use as the cause. Dr Husain immediately said it is not from the crutches or shoulders or carpal tunnel but it is from your neck. I must admit I thought he was off base on this one. He ordered a Cervical MRI and it came back that I had a serious issue with several neck vertebrae compressing my spinal cord which would eventually lead to paralysis and death. I had surgery and my problem is resolved. I may sound dramatic but owe my life to Dr Husain. I had a problem most doctors never heard of but Dr. Husain’s knowledge and understanding of the various systems in the human body and how they work together was my saving grace. He will ALWAYS be my doctor. I will follow him wherever he goes.

Pete Tucciarelli2023-10-12There is honestly not 1 thing I can say negative about everyone at Iortho. I have had 4 surgeries in 7 months by Dr. Montalbano and everyone has treated me with such patience, caring and guidance it is extremely overwhelming. From everytime you go to check in you are always greeted with smiles and friendly greeting from the ladies at the front desk. Then whether you need to get X-rays , MRI, see the Doctor. The Technicians and Nurses are so helpful, patient and understanding. They answer all your questions and concerns and keep the Doctors updated and they deserve all the Respect. I deal with Dr. Montalbano and Dr. Husain and both are True Professionals. The Physical Therapy next door are fantastic also. Jay evaluates your injury and the staff are all there to help and are patient and truly care. So everyone at Iortho deserves 100 Stars and are True Professionals for all their hard work, dedication and excellent patient caring skills and will have me recommending them to everyone that God forbid has some kind of injury and needs Professional care . Keep up the Phenomenal work. God Bless Always
