“Dr. Colizza is the best. He replaced my left hip in January of 2019. It’s still working perfectly. I was having knee trouble, and he gave me a shot of cortisone in both knees about a month ago. The right knee seems fine; the left needed a bit more help. They got me to see Dr Colizza in a day. He drained my knee and shot it with a gel. Each day, I'm feeling less and less uncomfortable. He’s the best.”

“Dr. Colizza did my knee surgery previously, and I will continue to see him for any knee issues that I have. I will need to have a knee replacement eventually and will see Dr. Colizza for that surgery. He has a high level of professionalism along with a lovely personality that many physicians do not have today. He doesn’t rush you in and out of the office as many other physicians do. He takes time with his patients and provides what is in their best interest.”
– Eileen B.
“I reinjured my shoulder Dr. Colizza recommended surgery to repair rotator cuff tears. I was reluctant to follow thru due to the long recovery time and rehab required after this type of surgery. I have known Dr. Colizza for many years he has treated both my son and daughter for different orthopedic issues in the past. Trusting his judgment, I decided on the surgery. Its been 5 1/2 months since the surgery. I am 69 years old, this morning as part of my weekly routine I went to the YMCA, I lifted weights to continue strengthening my shoulder and then swam a few laps in the pool. I am so happy that I had the surgery. My shoulder feels 100% better. Full motion, no pain. The recovery was long, and you must be patient, but well worth it. The entire process at Tri-County Orthopedics was terrific; the staff handled everything it such a professional and efficient manner. Scheduling surgery to follow up care.”
– Farrell F.
“Dr. Colizza performed a THR on my right hip in June. Four months later and I am nearly full speed, haven't had a pain to speak of and didn't need narcotics for pain. All his staff were extremely professional. I am very pleased how this experience turned out.”
