Augustus “Gus” D. Mazzocca, MD - Deparment of Orthopaedic Surgery

Just had my 1yr post check up, full tear rotator cuff. Dr. Mazzocca and staff Kristy, admin assistant. All I want to say is thank you. Great Doc, down to earth, friendly. Actually, Never felt rushed. And the big takeaway is my shoulder feels great. I would highly recommend Dr Mazzocca and staff.

Dr. Mazzocca is hands down one of the best orthopedic surgeons I have met. From the initial consult for my husband to his most recent post-op appt, we have been impressed with both provider and his staff. My husband has had the best outcome from his surgery and I know that is because we had a fantastic surgeon who repaired his injury. Thank you again!

Dr. Mazzocca repaired my torn rotator cuff in my left shoulder in March of 2025 and for the first time in a couple of years I am pain free. Thank you so very much Dr. Mazzocca for taking me as your patient. You are a truly a wonderful man and I am very grateful to you sir. A special thank you goes out to Kristy Dr. Mazzocca’s office administrator for doing a great job of scheduling all of my appointments including my surgery. Dr. Mazzocca has a wonderful staff of nurses and administrators who made my life so much better. Thank you Dr. Mazzocca and Kristy!!!

Gus is the best surgeon i have ever met. I had a torn biceps tendon and from the first visit with him he was very personable and explained everything he would be doing, surgery went well and i have a very minimal scar. He helped me breeze through my recovery and has made it so im almost ready to return to full duty. Also his assistant Kristy has been great with scheduling my appointments and making sure workman’s comp has everything they need. If you need elbow or shoulder surgery i would highly suggest requesting Gus to perform it.

I have been very active in sports and as a result have needed many knee and shoulder surgeries. Out of all of the orthopedic / sports doctors that I have worked with in the New York City and Boston areas over the years , Dr. Mazzocca and his team were simply the best. Over a period of months, we developed an action plan to treat my shoulder. We first agreed to try a non-surgical approach, including multiple pain reducing injections. It was only after this failed to work that we decided to move forward with the surgery. Dr. Mazzocca clearly explained the surgical procedure, answering all of my questions. I am now eleven weeks post surgery with a great range of motion obtained without physical therapy! Thanks Dr. Mazzocca!
