  • Dr. Nuzzo, and his staff, adeptly provided professional care and courtesy as usual! Thank you!
  • Dr. Nuzzo was fantastic. Would highly recommend to anyone in need of knee surgery. However, he had the easy part because I was knocked out and couldn't scream at him in pain; the PT's at SPOC had to endure that. The staff at SPOC's PT building were amazing. I was a very active person prior to injuring myself and I told the staff I wanted to get back to doing the things I love doing. They pushed me, guided me, encouraged me and ultimately got me to a place where I could see the finish line. I could feel the difference they were making; it was more than just my knee. There was a significant mental difference they helped me push through. The thoughts about whether I would get back to "normal" crossed my mind constantly, especially in the early stages. That's when the staff at PT stepped in and knew the outcome if I would continue to push. They knew what I could and couldn't handle and were there every step of the way.

  • Dr. Nuzzo and his staff were amazing! He treated my knee and performed ACL reconstruction. I am now able to resume all of my physical activity and couldn’t be happier. Also the folks at Fresno Surgical Hospital were great as well. Every step of the way I felt good about my decision to go to SPOC and Dr. Nuzzo for my surgery.

  • The office staff was friendly and helpful,
    DR Nuzzo was pleasent and laid back,
    He did not act like my torn tendon was emergency surgery that needed to be done immediately like the first surgeon I had seen.
    I wish I saw Nuzzo first, I would have been less stressed out about having the upcoming surgery.

  • Dr Nuzzo and all of SPOC staff were amazing. I had a list of questions but before I can ask the staff including Dr Nuzzo answered them. At Fresno Surgical was also great. They truly made me feel comfy and special and well informed of every step.

  • After struggling with walking problems, it was good to get information on what might be the problem. I was impressed by the staff's knowledge and efficiency. I received written information about my diagnosis so I could remember what was said at my appointment. In the past, I have left a doctor's appointment unable to tell others what the doctor had said to me. Dr Nuzzo was kind and informative.

  • I was in a serious motorcycle crash in 2015 where I sustained complete tears to both major tendons in my left shoulder as well as a dislocated bicep tendon in the same shoulder. Initially I was turned down for surgery by a different physician however my file eventually made it to Dr. Nuzzo's desk and after reviewing it he decided to take my case and operate on my shoulder. Throughout the process Dr. Nuzzo was very kind and professional. He explained exactly what the damage was, it's severity, the challenges he will face while working to correct it, and I will face in the rehabilitation process. He also explained some of his background and reassured he that he has seen similar traumas and that I was in good hands. Needless to say, I was very confident in his abilities. I had my surgery in April and fortunately Dr. Nuzzo was able to repair both major tears as well as the dislocated tendon. I have just completed physical therapy and I have regained most of the function in my left arm. There is still work to do, and I will continue to rehabilitate my arm on my own, but I do believe I will regain all of the function I lost after the accident. I am grateful to Dr. Nuzzo for taking my case and to his staff for their professionalism and the quality of treatment they provided. I know my case was not an easy one. I would certainly recommend the professionals at Sierra Orthopedic for anyone that is in need of orthopedic care.

  • I found Dr. Nuzzo to be very knowledgeable, attentive, and informative regarding my pre-op, surgery, and post op. All his staff are wonderful, caring, and polite. I have never had a bad experience with SPOC doctors and appreciate having this kind of practice available to us in Fresno. I never, for one moment, thought Dr. Nuzzo would give me anything but professional, experienced care.

  • I really liked that they got right to the issue. Before my son ever saw the doctor, they wanted x-rays. The x-rays came right back and we were in the room to see the doctor all in the same morning. It wasn't that long of a wait, and everyone in the office was great.

  • I came to Dr. Nuzzo after having a botched procedure up in Sacramento. I had a horrible recovery where the pain never ended and my knee was still unstable. No doctor in Northern California would see me until it had been over a year since my horrible surgery. Dr. Nuzzo saw me and reassured me that this can be corrected--one month later I was in surgery with him. My knee is almost back to pre-injury working condition! I spent 6 months in physical therapy but I had to make up for a previous surgery on top of a new one. Dr. Nuzzo gave me my life back.

  • Dr. Nuzzo did a wonderful job repairing my injured shoulder. He explained the process of surgery, after care and therapy, and it all worked out just as he planned. I am finishing physical therapy now, and have almost fully recovered. Soon I will have full strength in my shoulder and arm, and I have already returned to living a normal life. My shoulder Dr. Nuzzo repaired is, I think, better than it was before the injury. Thank you, Dr. Nuzzo.

  • I came in with injury from working out at gym. I liked the relaxed atmosphere, especially from the doctor. Since my surgery, I have returned to all my activities (though some not as strenuous as before). I did my first 5k since surgery—felt great!

  • Doctor covered the test results with me in terms I could understand. I was advised what treatment options were available and doctors recommendations as to which one we should go with first. I feel that my doctor is concerned about my shoulder and getting me back to good function. It is worth the trip to Fresno from Merced to get this quality healthcare.

  • I have seen the doctor twice and both times it was a pleasant experience. The staff is very kind and I had minimal wait time. I will be seeing him again this month to discuss my options. I work in the medical field and always refer to SPOC. I even had my brother come from southern California to have Dr. Aryan do his fusion. You guys are awesome

  • Doctor Nuzzo repaired my shoulder, at another facility. So when it was time to have my knee surgery, there was no question in my mind that he was the one to do that surgery. Doctor Nuzzo, explains what is needed and how it will be done. He has a wonderful manner and makes you feel confident that you are in extremely capable hands. After surgery he shows you pictures of the procedure and talks to you about what transpired. I am going through therapy now, and doing very well. He is kind and makes you feel that you are his number one concern. I can't say enough good, about Dr. Nuzzo, as a surgeon.

  • Recently, I underwent all of my per-operative work before my scheduled surgery and everyone I came in contact with was so pleasant, professional, and very patient with me. Everyone from Dr. Michael Nuzzo, who treated me like a very special patient, Debbie Quijano, Medical Surgery Scheduler, Amanda who did my blood work and EKG, Trevor who did the X-Ray. I would also like to include Andre Grinko, MRI and the Nice Tech who did the MRI, sorry I did not get his name, even treated my husband with politeness and most of all patience with both of us. I sure hope I did not miss anyone to mention. Just Wonderful! God Bless them all for their hard work and dedication. I cannot praise Sierra Pacific Orthopedics enough and your staff. Again I hope I did not miss anyone. God Bless all of you, so special in my heart. Thank You

  • “Dr. Nuzzo was so easy to work with to get to a healthier version of myself. I had no idea that MPFL surgery was even an option and it has given me so much hope for a better life. Not only did he operate on the knee that was dislocated, but has promised to help me with my other knee as well. I can not put into words how exciting it is to be living with legs that won't have dislocating knee caps anymore! It's a whole new lease on life and I appreciate it more than can be put into words.”

My provider, Dr. Nuzzo, was thorough, explanatory and to the point. At the beginning of identifying the problem with my shoulder I thought this would be a long, drawn out problem but things kept rolling and before the new year I was in for surgery and on my way to mending.

  • “I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you again for the wonderful care Dr. Nuzzo has given me. This weekend I did my first trail run in over two years and it felt amazing!!! Even on the uneven and technical terrain, my knee felt totally stable. Other than a little post run soreness, it felt great! Thank you!! I even went for a 30 mile bike ride after. I also want to let you know what a blessing it has been to have such a caring, thorough and gifted doctor. Not all physicians take the time or show the compassion that Dr. Nuzzo does and I wanted you to let him know it is so appreciated. Thanks for giving me back what I love to do. See you at the next triathlon!”
