About Dominic Gargiulo

Dr. Dominic Gargiulo is a Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeon at Children's Hospital. He received his osteopathic medical degree from Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine, in Missouri and completed his residency training at Michigan State University. He then completed a fellowship in Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. Dr. Gargiulo is certified by the American Board of Orthopedic Surgeons and serves on the faculty at LSU Health New Orleans as an Assistant Professor of Clinical Orthopedics/Pediatrics. When asked why he chose to specialize in Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery, Dr. Gargiulo answered, "I enjoy helping children and their families through various musculoskeletal disease processes. Sports related injuries, trauma and limb deformity are my areas of interest. It offers me a chance to impact a kid early in life and hopefully get them back on the road to recovery quickly!"

    It's excellent that they have a translator because some medical facilities don't have one, and the translators charge a lot. I thought it was great that they had a way to translate for us; they were kind, everything was very, very good.

    From the moment we walked in to the nurse, they were wonderful, very sweet, and the provider was very thorough, even anticipating things like my son would feel better in about two weeks and be tempted to take off his boot. So he answered questions I couldn't even think to ask before I even knew to ask them, and he was correct. So yeah, he's a really great doctor, very friendly, great disposition, great bedside manner, and he makes you feel very talkative, like he's there to see you.

    He was very rude, didn't want to listen to me, and he rushed us out of his office. I felt like it was, we were time to be in there. I'm never going to recommend him to someone else, and I don't ever want him to see my child again. He definitely did not send me home comfortable. I felt like I came home and just worried more about my child. I was literally in tears after seeing this doctor because he didn't make my child feel any better. She still has the leg pains and all he said was, I told him I didn't want x-rays. So he said, okay, well, then we're done here. If you have any more pain, bring her back in. That is not how you talk to someone. So he was definitely not helpful at all. And I hope y'all put this response on the internet so people can know what he's like.

    Dr. G was great during my son's time there. He made us feel so comfortable and welcome with the procedure and what he was doing and knowledgeable of everything that my son was going through for the first time with tearing his ACL and a few meniscus in his knee. He just made me as a parent just feel so to know my child was in great hands. I will recommend him a million times to anyone that needs surgical, surgical things that whatever he does is just amazing and I love it. And I want to say a big thank you, thank you, thank you to him and the staff at Children's Hospital. They were great.

    Yes, he was very respectful. He touched all the bases. He told us a time frame we had to get my daughter right to play sports again. He was very respectful. I highly recommend him to deal with any other child's patient or whatever you want to call it. He was very, very, very professional. He's feeling entirely mad. I told him I was on time, and I was told I was on time, and he did her physical therapy and said, you know, he won't see her twice a week until October. So I highly recommend him to anybody else. He's a really good person, and he did touch all the bases. He answered all the questions we had to ask him. I'm very satisfied with him, and I do recommend him to anybody else.
