Our Philosophy
The One-Surgeon Difference
Many surgical practices rely on physician assistants or nurse practitioners to handle consultations and follow-ups. Dr. Muffoletto takes a different approach. He personally sees every patient at every visit — because he believes that’s how the best outcomes happen. When your surgeon knows your history, understands your concerns, and has seen your anatomy firsthand, you get better care.
