In 2001, I had a total ankle replacement done under an FDA trial by a reputable Orthopedic Surgeon in New Jersey. That ankle replacement served me very well for approximately 10 years. I started having some minor issues but my original Doctor had retired and the ankle I had did not receive final FDA approval. I found Dr. DeOrio at Duke University and scheduled a visit. After x-rays and an examination, Dr. DeOrio found that my ankle replacement had a worn out part and had created two bone cysts. He recommended an immediate re... read more

On 8/29/22, I visited Dr. DeOrio for a check on the status of the replacement performed in April 2019. The surgery was highly successful with no follow on problems requiring any servicing for any reason. The evaluation performed at this visit resulted in a status of "excellent". Dr. DeOrio is to be continually highly commended for his outstanding surgical expertise!

Dr. DeOrio is the best ankle replacement surgeon! Twelve years later, all is well.

Jusy had my 1 year followup...after an ankle replacement done by Dr. Diorio, and now I am participating in a sprint level triathlon! I had an incredibly positive experience this year. Everything he said would happen after surgery happened on schedule. I was walking pain free 4 months after surgery and back to yoga and other exercises. He is a very efficient, personable doctor. I have the utmost respect for his expertise.

My two year post-op ankle replacement visit was friendly and very positive. There was very little waiting and I felt comfortable during the entire process. Dr. DeOrio showed me the current ankle x rays and explained what he saw; he answered all of my questions and was easy to talk with. After years of pain and limited walking I could not be happier with the ankle replacement. I recently took a seven mile hike on mixed terrain with no difficulty and no pain afterwards. I no longer experience swelling and very rarely mild achi... read more

Dr. DeOrio has performed surgery on my left foot that has allowed me to be able to walk normally for the first time in 6 years. I could not find anyone in my area who could or would attempt to do the type of surgery I needed so I started searching on line. I am glad I found him although I have to travel several hours to see him it has been well worth it. He was good at explaining through X-rays what my problem was & how he was going to fix it. I have had two back surgery's, stomach surgery & knee replacement but none of them... read more

I fell 9 ft into a concrete swimming pool crushing my heal. The Xray looked ready bad and the pain was awful. Dr. DeOrio performed my surgery and did a wonderful job. After Surgery he told my wife what he did to repair my broken heel and told me what to do and not to do to facilitate a successful healing process. The results of my six week followup where amazing. Other than the 3 screws proudly revealing themselves in the Xray, you could not tell my foot had been injured. I was super excited when Dr. DeOrio told me I could s... read more

I am walking again because of Dr. DeOrio. Bones in my foot were trimmed, adjusted and put back together to recreate both feet. Amazing work.

Jim DeOrio reviewed my X-rays with me and observed my walking gate. He answered my questions from the radiology report and was attentive to my ankle flexibility. Very satisfied with his oversight of my post operation surgery
