Dr. James Thomas Mazzara, MD

Dr Mazzara is an excellent surgeon and physician! I’ve had two very successful reverse shoulder replacements by Dr. Mazzara. Prior to my surgery, he patiently took his time to throughly discuss my concerns! I give Dr Mazzara my highest recommendation! His medical staff is great too!

Excellent physician and Surgeon. I had Knee injury with arthritis operated by another physician. Dr Mazzara did appropriate testing followed by conservative intervention with injections which resulted in expected results.

Dr. Mazzara is an amazing surgeon. He did such a great job, I was able to go back to work after 3 weeks from having a total shoulder replacement. He comes prepared to the OR for your surgery. He’s very precise. One can see that he takes great pride in his skill and ability.

I love Dr.Mazzara I have had two surgery's with him and he did a great job no complaints, the only complaints I have for such a great Physician he has a terrible so not professional office staff. They are rude and plain nasty,sorry just being honest.

I have been suffering horrible right shoulder pain for years. I had surgery on it 2015 and I never improved. The past few months have been especially painful and I've seen three rheumatologists (possible inflammation issue) and several orthopedic doctors who just kept giving me cortisone injections. I was referred to Dr. Mazzara by my rheumatologist. My first visit I met with the PA who came to the conclusion I needed a very painful and expensive arthrogram. I went in for the follow up and met Dr. Mazzara. He was very condescending, impatient, and not at all helpful. He told me my MRI was normal. Said I could have frozen shoulder but I only showed half the signs. Then played the blame game with my rheumatologists, saying its their issue not his and had no idea why they sent me to him. I started to get nervous and upset and he rapid fired questions at me and at one point I must have answered without being clear and he laughed with condescension and said "well which is it, can't be both can it." He admitted my case was "puzzling" but instead of being an advocate and treating me with compassion, he sighed and tossed out a couple offers of joint and bursa injections. Ummm I'll pass considering this is "not an orthopedic issue." I will never go back to him and will caution anyone in going to see him.

After 5 years and a few surgeons who were unable to help me fix my shoulder, I found Dr. Mazzara. He has changed my life and for the first time in years i have been pain free and can actually use my left arm and shoulder for things i used to love doing again. Dr. Mazzara is an incredible doctor with an incredible amount of skill, experience and he treats his patients very well as do his staff. It was a pleasure having him as my Dr. and i will recommend him to anyone and everyone who needs a surgeon

Had shoulder surgery by him, overlooked his bedside manner figuring his surgery would make up for it. Ended up with more pain and huge scar. The PA, Karl believes he’s a surgeon and pushes medication not addressing any problems. Totally disappointed!

Had my surgery done and still experiencing cronic pain that Dr refuses to treat. I've been to the emergency room three times for the pain he refuses to treat. Even the drs at the er are shocked. I managed to get a second opinion and found out I need another sergery and that the surgery dr mazzara had done was useless. Unfortunately I'm stuck with Dr mazzara because of insurance and it being a work related injury. So now I wait in cronic pain for his next unless move . Malpractice in every sence of the word.

I have been seeing Dr. Mazzara for many years for various issues, and refer all of my family members to him as well. He is very thorough and explains things so I understand them completely. The office is clean, the office staff is nice and you never have to wait long. If you have any orthopedic issues, I highly recommend Dr. Mazzara.

Very informative and thorough. I am better after rotator cuff surgery thanks to Dr Mazzara.

I had a sudden shoulder injury at work. Dr Mazzara made an immediate diagnosis that was confirmed by an MRI. I could not even lift my arm before surgery. He fixed my rotator cuff and I can now move my shoulder without pain. I did therapy in his office and worked hard to get to this point. I very happy with his care. He tells it like it is, so when I tried to slack off on therapy he got me to work harder. It was worth it. I am better and now back to work. Very grateful!

Chose this doctor because of the high ratings given by his patients. I was totally disappointed from the minute I entered his office. I thought the front desk was toatlly disorganized and unprofessional (lots of personal business spoken between the ladies @ the front desk). The doctor himself was cold and arrogant, absolutely a turn off. Needless to say I did not return for a follow up visit(s), can't understand why this man is in the business he's in, he seems totally unhappy. To make matters worse, my insurance company was billed over $1,000.00 for the visit, ridiculous!!! I DO NOT recommend this doctor at all.

Dr. Mazzara has been handling my husbands care for years and we have nothing, but the highest regard for him as a surgeon and a person. We would highly recommend him to anyone who needed orthopedic surgery.

Dr defines the injury and options and asociated risks of each option. Even showed me some pictures on the computer. These kinds of injuries really stink, they take us out of circulation and incapacitate us.I just want to get better as fast as I can. But Doc tells me to be patient and I respect his diagnisis and advice.

Dr. Mazzara and his staff are amazing! No other doctor's office can compare - they are thoughtful, compassionate individuals that always make you feel your care is the most important thing to them. I have never been rushed, I have always been treated with respect and have never been made to feel that I'm a bother. I have had two surgeries with Dr. Mazzara and recommend him whenever I have the chance. He is a wonderful doctor.

I have been to 3 doctors for my elbow problems. Dr. Mazzara and his staff are by far THE BEST. He is excellent in every area. His office staff is exceptional as well. Everything runs smoothly. The Dr. explains everything very well, and surgery went just as described by him. Recovering now and foloow up with his other dr. on staff was fantastic as well.. Well worth my long drive.

Dr. Mazzara and his staff are truly amazing. They have always handled my care with compassion and kindness. I have had several surgeries with Dr. Mazzara as well as my husband. I would recommend him without reservation.

I waited a while but it was worth it. He diagnosed a problem that was misdiagnosed elsewhere. Dr. M fixed it and my shoulder is perfect now.

Dr.Mazzara is an outstanding surgeon. He ensures that you will recieve the best care possible. He always takes the time to discuss all benefits and risks with his patients.
