Daniel Penello, M.D.

Dr. Penello is one of the best doctors I have ever been. He is kind and caring, he listens to your pain, to the level of pain you are at, he reads the XRays and MRIs to you in great detail just so you know what he is explaining and he explains everything in details and he doesn’t condemn you for asking a bunch of questions which I do! Coming from a medical family, mom... read more and dad, they already say what to ask and he never hesitates in responding any of my questions so I can be comfortable with the procedures we are doing. I trust him fully and he never disappointed me or I never felt rushed. He takes his time. That may delay other appts he has during the day bc I am certain he spends the necessary time with each patient even if he needs to leave late. That’s a doctor that values his oath in medicine and should be recognized. We need more doctors like him around bc some of them treat us just like a number and not human beings in true pain. Who would leave their houses if they were not in true pain? Dr. Penello, you are an exemplary doctor and even better human being. Don’t ever loose this trait, no matter what people say. I will always keep going back to you!

Dr. Penello is fantastic! I saw him for a second opinion for my wrist fracture and he had me in surgery the next day. He is skilled, knowledgeable, personable, and should be your first choice for wrist/hand injuries. I can't say enough good things about him, the staff, and my experience at Alexander Orthopedics!

My right fingers were severely deformed from rheumatoid arthritis. They looked like ancient limbs of an oak tree. After two very successful surgeries, Dr Panello was able to straightened them. My fingers are absolutely beautiful and functional. He actually did the impossible, when several hand surgeons just shook their heads and sent me to hand therapy instead. I cannot thank Dr Penello enough for his expertise, his fantastic bedside manner, sense of humor and empathy.... read more Dr. Penello helped me regain my confidence and I am not ashamed about my hands anymore. Thank you. Thank you and bless you Dr Penello! Oh! His staff and the surgical center are AMAZING!

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Penello. I am just recovering from my second hand surgery and will say that both went so smoothly. Rather than the experiences being unsettling or anxiety-producing, they were as pleasant as can be under the circumstances. Dr. Penello is a friendly and caring doctor with a wonderful bedside manner which gives you a sense of trust in him. And it is well earned. ... read more I would recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Penello reattached my bicep to the bone after I tore it off. He did an excellent job and now 10 years later it is still in great shape. Saw his wonderful PA this week, to confirm the VA was wrong, and it was a very informative and delightful visit. I found he has an excellent PA assisting him.

I can only surmise that the one star reviews, one without any comment attached and one illustrating a possible case of “lost in translation”, were submitted for no good reason. I lived in a foreign country whose language I was not conversant in and experienced many difficulties understanding and being understood. Because of them, I feel I must speak out about my positive experience. Dr. Penello operated on both my hands and has given me back... read more 100% use of them. Prior to my surgeries I could not manage bicycle riding or writing longhand, to use scissors or open bottles or jars, among many other day to day functions. I was in excruciating pain and my grip strength was rapidly weakening. Dr. Penello explained the surgical procedures thoroughly, answered my questions completely and followed up afterwards until he was sure all was good and that I was satisfied. He used cutting edge surgical techniques and is obviously a skilled surgeon. I do not hesitate to recommend him to anyone I know who suffers from pain and or problems with their hands or wrists. I am forever grateful that he was my surgeon.
