Dr. Michael Charles Geraci JR.

Dr. Michael Geraci is absolutely one of the best doctors I ever seen. Extremely progressive and his technique and expertise ilis unsurpassed and he helped alleviate lmy right shoulder tears through use of PRP. . If you want to avoid surgery and wants state-of-the-art care, then Dr. Geraci is your guy.

An incredibly talented physician!

I received a epidural injection in ny lower back. I had been walking with a limp on a cane for 7 months from a slip and fall in 2020. I walked out with cane in hand. What physical relief as well as emotional

Dr. Geraci is the epitome of a great doctor. My mom has seen him multiple times for issues with her shoulder, neck and leg. Obviously not every condition will be able to be helped, but if anyone can help alleviate pain, improve symptoms, or fix it, it is definitely Dr. Geraci. His joint medical degree and physical therapy degree provides him with a unique and deep understanding of his field that his patients benefit from. Additionally he is patient and responsive—he made my mom feel at ease and was always available for questions and concerns. The same with his staff—always following up to see how you are doing and asking if there are any questions. I recommend Dr. Geraci with the absolute highest of regards with zero reservation.

Office staff is friendly and efficient. Dr. Geraci is amazing. Great “bedside manner.” Gets right to the point and has always been able to treat what has ailed me very effectively and efficiently.

I contacted Dr. Geraci about lower back/hip pain a week ago. He was able to diagnose that I had a herniated disc — and prescribed a regimen of corrective exercises and ibuprofen. I am pleased to say that I noticed improvements right away, and have made great strides in the past week. I have been diligent with doing the exercises regularly. And, although it is a bit uncomfortable at the time, the results are noticeable immediately. The ibuprofen is no longer needed, I am moving around without pain, and feel like I am almost back to normal. It was comforting to know that I did not require heavy medication or (gulp) surgery to resolve the issue — even though I have friends who have been told those things by their doctors. I would recommend Dr. Geraci to anyone who wants to resolve movement issues like this, without being drugged up or having to get needless surgery.

Despite first impressions with the assistant who reviewed my paperwork in the exam room, (she was curt & certainly not a people person) I was quite impressed with Dr Geraci. His philosophies are patient based & I believe my condition will be greatly improved by going to his practice. I will edit in the future if I feel otherwise.

Arrogant, rude and flamboyant. This is the worst of the worst doctors. He actually told me that he can dismiss everyone including me suffering from post-vaccine side effects because he doesn't believe it's real. Actual doctors are doing real research on PASC and post-vaccine inflammation from the spike proteins picked up by non-classical monocytes causing vascular inflammation and sticking to the endothelium. I know what happened to my body in the weeks after vaccination and that's a hell of a coincidence to be happening to so many others just like me. Even worse than him wasting my time, I now have to live with irritating inflammation in my legs and airway with no treatment. Thanks for nothing you terrible doctor. Northwell Health needs to hire better neurologists.

Honestly, took me a while to find someone who had the ability to see past the obvious and work with me to find creative solutions to my back pain.

Worst doc I've ever seen. Terrible bedside manner. Was no help. If you are having back issues go see Dr. Roger

Not that good a doc. Seems more interested in taking your money then helping people. I went there for very bad neck pain. First off he is on of the only doctors in the area you could not meet in person. So he "diagnosed" me over a webcam. Offered neck shots that did nothing. Then offered a experimental PRP injection not covered under insurance, to fix my should, which had nothing to do with my neck. Never actually told me what was the problem. Every time you call in to speak with a Doctor or Nurse Practitioner you are met by the gate keepers whos job it is to make sure NO ONE talks to a doctor. then they argue with you on the phone. Very Disappointed in Dr . Geraci. Not that great a doctor or office. Not interested in fixing people. More interested in making sure they collect enough money to keep making there building look better. Will NEVER go back. Not that good a doc.

Fills his own pockets and others in the Cardinal Health network, personal care is truly secondary and I would *HIGHLY* recommend a second opinion or simply just staying away from this place. First therapist he sent me to only exasperated pain after 6+ visits, now Geraci will only see me again and write a script for PT if I go to his second choice of PT in the cardinal health network( I am 0-2 with this guy including the epidural in my neck that made things worse, sure lets give it another try!). I'm not one for negative reviews but this guy just flat out stinks.

Dr. Gerace helped my pain. He is caring, very sociable and a hands on type of doctor. I'm happy with him..

Professional,thoughtful,compassionate thorough staff. Dr Geraci has an amazing skillset. He has a deep understanding of body mechanics and works with his patients towards success.

I am a Strength Coach / Personal Trainer and we work with a lot of people who have Low Back Pain, Knee Pain, Shoulder Pain, etc... I have been blessed to work with some of the best minds in world history in Sports Medicine and Physical Therapy. Dr. Michael Geraci may be the single best Sports Medicine Doctor IN THE WORLD!!!! No Joke and No Exaggeration. Not only is he a Physiatrist / MD but, he is also a Licensed Physical Therapist! Think about that for a moment! Among many things, what I love most about Dr. Geraci is that he NEVER puts himself or his company ahead of what is in his patient’s best interest! NEVER! Dr. Geraci is ABSOLUTELY RELENTLESS in continuing his education, self-improvement, and self-development. UNMATCHED! He out learns and out performs the best practitioners in his field that are even 20 years younger. You will NEVER EVER find a practitioner who is better educated! Over and over again, he gets patients better, out of pain, and back to doing the things they love even after they’ve worked with multiple practitioners with no results. He is the BEST PERIOD THE END and it’s not even close particularly here in WNY! The more you learn about Dr. Geraci the more you know that there is nobody close to his skill set in WNY. Another thing he actively helps the Physical Therapists that he refers to. Every single day he will stay up late and return all their call with all their questions to help them as much as he possibly can.

As a former competitive athlete, I initially saw Dr. Geraci for a herniated disc (approx. 5 years ago), for which the exercises and PT that he prescribed completely healed my back. It took a month or two to see results, but he definitely knows his craft because I am now completely pain-free in my back. Because of this great experience years ago, I made a tele-medicine appointment with him when I hurt my hip playing hockey a couple of months ago. I saw immediate benefits doing his exercises and when I hit a plateau a few weeks later, I reached out again for a second telemedicine appointment. He found out (through watching me on the video) that I was doing the exercises wrong and he modified my form, which was very impressive considering we were using video. Additionally, he tailored more stretches in my exercise regimen and without his help, guidance, and availability, I would not be nearly as pain-free as I am today. I owe all of this to Dr. Geraci and his wonderful staff!

Thorough and detailed. Exceptional clinical skills - even using telemedicine!

Dr. Geraci is an exceptional and caring doctor who is a consummate professional. The exercise regime he recommended for me fixed my torn meniscus and my knee is better than it's been in 40 years! I avoided surgery following his techniques and will now go back to him for strengthening exercises. Yes, Dr. Michael knows his trade inside and out. Yes, he believes in what he teaches and yes, you must be willing to follow his instructions and do the exercises diligently in order to see results. No, do not expect an instant fix especially for injuries that have been ignored or misdiagnosed for decades and no, do not go to him if you are not willing to be open minded because you waste your time as well as his. I am pain free and mobile thanks to Dr. Geraci!

First, my Primary said it was one thing, then my Chiro. said it was something else, then a bone and joint specialist said it was another thing and wanted to perform surgery. Finally, I went to Dr. Geraci and he examined me far more thoroughly, actually listened to what I had to say, then correctly diagnosed the problem, made a few gentle adjustments, and gave me a simple exercise to perform. After a few weeks I am pain free, and have resumed all normal activities. He literally "saved my bacon."

Wow! Dr. Geraci diagnosed my daughter's knee problem and was able to give her exercises to get her back to normal in just a few days. He took the time to actually listen to both of us, asked insightful questions and took a genuine interest in helping get her back to running. No medications necessary.

I had several abdominal surgeries and a possibility of ovarian cancer. I had excruciating pain that lasted for over a year. I had to take pain medicine every four hours. After I went to him and he evaluated me, he sent me for pelvic strengthening and I had one Steroid shot in back. After about two weeks, I had significant relief and did not take another pain pill. Thank God I’m off of those pain pills, I would not have taken them if I didn’t need them. I’m glad it’s over, thank you Dr Geraci I am free

Horrible...don't waste your time

After an MRI he didn't share with me the complete picture and only focused on my torn hip labrum. After painful and unsuccessful PRP therapy I sought a second opinion from an orthopedist who reviewed the same MRI report and told me I needed a hip replacement and that PRP therapy should never have been recommended. I feel like Geraci put money before patient care and only saw that he could make money from PRP therapy when a referral was the correct option.

I would give him negative stars if possible. I was sent to Geraci by my shoulder specialist because he thought there was damage to my neck also. Geraci didn't do an MRI or even look at my neck. He told me I needed physical therapy to teach my brain that I don't actually hurt. "Like when you get afoot amputated and it still hurts, you need to train your brain that you don't really hurt ". I was devastated!! I went to another Dr who ordered an MRI and found the problem. My advice is STAY AWAY FROM GERACI!! I would give him negative stars if possible.

Horrible “doctor”. I was referred to him because of shoulder pain that I was told was my neck...I met with him hoping to get a cortisone injection, but instead he referred me to physical therapy...after several PT visits I was getting worse and was in excruciating pain...I called up his office and was told I have to continue for a couple more weeks, even though it’s doing more harm than good...after those couple weeks of pt I called his office again to finally schedule an appointment to hopefully get some relief and was told he discharged me from his practice for questioning him. I was never informed of this until I tried scheduling an appointment. Had I known this ahead of time I would’ve been looking for another doctor...Now here I am 1 year later, still in pain due to a labrum year which he failed to identify or even listen to me when I explained how thePT was making it worse. so my best advice would be to stay away from Geraci! He is very narcissistic and condescending. Horrible “doctor”.

I felt rushed during my office visit. His solution for me was to stretch... I went to see Dr Geraci because I’ve been stretching, going to chiropractor and getting massages for over a year and nothing has help my neck pain. I walked into his office with an X-ray. I practically had to beg for him to look at it. He finally looks at it for a full 2 mins (I’m being generous) to be honest I don’t think he looked at my X-ray at all. He says everything looks normal and to stretch my neck his office will call me in a few days to see how I’m doing. I went to see another specialist in the area and my X-ray actually shows significant degenerative disc disease in my neck. I wish I read these review before I wasted $40 on a copay. Do your research.

I am going to 5 star the doctor at this point for the following reasons after my initial consultation. He says he can help me if I do everything he says. I have nothing to loose at this point. We will see. I certainly hope this is true. At this point my opinion is he is more than just a nice guy. Seems to have a plan without holding a knife in his hand. 1. Walked into the office and was given a appointment in less than a week. 2. Did NOT just send me off to another doctor who then just sends you to yet another. 3. He actually listened to me explain what happened and what I have been through so far. 4. He did a extensive examination. No other doctor did half of the things he did. 5. Verfifed without asking what most people with any common sence already know about how surgeons operate and the effects of multiple surgeries on,the spine. 6. He is also a PT and specializes in the spine. He actually trains the PT person he sends you to for treatment. This just make sence. PT actually working under direction of the doctor.

I turned to Dr. Geraci when I was in a great deal of pain and very fearful that I would lose my mobility, as well as live with chronic pain for the rest of my life. My complicated medical condition would deter most Physicians from treating me. Thank God Dr. Geraci accepted my case and treated me with the most professional, pro-active, inclusive and thoughtful care that I could have hoped for. He ordered treatments, sought insurance approval on my behalf and ordered further testing. He also had his wonderful staff call me every 2 weeks to check up on my progress. He wasn't going to let me fall through the cracks. Most importantly, he kept my spirit hopeful when I was drowning in pain and fear. Although I was also seeing a Orthopaedic Surgeon ( who has promoting surgical intervention ) it was comforting knowing that Dr. Geraci was overseeing my case to ensure that all other interventions were being utilized first to prevent unnecessary surgery. Dr. Geraci's goal is to keep every patient moving and pain free for the rest of their lives and only using surgical intervention when absolutely necessary. Don't we all need a Physician watching out for our best interest in exactly that role? I am extremely grateful that I had Dr.Gervaci to do that on my behalf.

Thank God for Dr Geraci. I had a "frozen" shoulder and was in a lot of pain. He is an honest, No nonsense Doctor. You have to put in hard work, if you want to get great results. The office staff is professional and kind. There is No Quick fix. I was thankful to have the opportunity to try P.T. and a cortisone shot, rather than pain pills and surgery.??

I had my first appointment with Dr Geraci last week. He was incredibly thorough in his assessment,,,he really listened to me, and took the time to not only listen to my “symptoms and complaints “ but also to educate me about my specific concerns. He showed me specific exercises to improve my situation,,,and also referred me to a practitioner he believes will help me rehab my pelvis and lower back. However he will be following up with me next month to assess progress and other possible treatment if needed. His demeanor was kind and compassionate,,and he was straightforward with me which I truly appreciated. He discussed with me lifestyle changes that may facilitate the recovery process and beyond. I’m so grateful for Dr Geraci,,,, I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for surgical alternatives for orthopedic conditions.

I had an MRI of my hip and the full results were not shared with me. What was shared is that I had a torn labrum and he recommended PRP therapy. After much pain, I sought a second opinion from an orthopedic surgeon who reviewed the same MRI report and told me I have stage 4 arthritis in both hips and need a hip replacement. The PRP therapy was not only unsuccessful and very expensive and painful, but in my view it was only recommended to put profits ahead of patient care. Because of this procedure, my true diagnosis and treatment have been delayed by months.

He takes time to listen and answer your questions All the staff have been polite professional and respond to concerns in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend him. My physical therapist recommended me to their office and I am grateful for that.

Very professional but had to wait a long time for apt.Was very pleased with outcome and results of apt. Was scheduled for bilateral epidermal and was so pleased with Dr Geraci professionalism during the whole and after the procedure. Made me feel Very comfortable.

This guy does not care about patients. I had 1 appointment with him that lasted maybe 10 mins and he told me I needed to do physical therapy...after 2 sessions I was in significantly more pain and my arm was going numb...I called Dr. Geraci up and told him and he told me I have to keep doing it even though it’s making me worst...I briefly argued with him because it didn’t make much sense to me but I said ok I’ll continue with the PT...after my 5th PT visit I can barely move and I call him up and was told that he discharged me from his practice for questioning him. He is without a doubt the worst doctor I have ever seen...do not waste your time with him, find a doctor who cares about their patients.

Waited one hour and 40 minutes before I saw Dr. Geraci. He never apologized for the long wait. After a 10 minute exam he left the room and came back shortly telling me (again) bulging disks cannot be seen in xrays (why did my primary order) and that I needed an MRI. I responded no I would not be scheduling and left the office.

I wish I had read these reviews before going to Dr. Geraci. What people are saying is exactly what happened. He would not listen to what I was telling him, kept talking over me the whole appointment. I called his office to make an appointment to go over my MRI results and also because I was in a lot of pain. His office staff was very rude and would not even make the appointment! They said my PT would have to contact their office first. I’ve never had a doctor that won’t review test results!!

No nonsense- no unnecessary surgical procedures. Common sense physical therapist recommended and trained for specific lengthening and strengthening of muscles , even herniated discs can heal and be stronger with more mobility so I am now able to do things I did not think was ever going to do or at least as well as in my younger years! Great guidance and support as well- no drugs if you don’t need them .... lets get to work and fix this adtitude:-) ????????✅???????? No nonsense- no unnecessary surgical procedures.

Can I give less than 1 star? The guy is a know it all and a jerk. Very unprofessional. Talked trash about my neurosurgeon WHO REFERRED ME TO HIM! He gave me conflicting information and didn’t care at all about my concerns. His staff was also rude and unprofessional. Don’t waste your time going here. You’ll regret it.

had nerve block test done by Dr.Geraci July 2016 ,I did not feel pain for over an 1hr 20mi ,my Buddy had the same test done with the same results, his doctor said that’s where the problem was and he did surgery on him, called Dr,Geraci to find out why were my results different than my friends , Lady told me everyone is different , if he had the same results as me and they did surgery how am I different , she told me to go to the doctor that ordered the test and ask him,He doesn’t care

Dr Geraci would not listen to my concerns, he only talked about what HE knew and how he had '31 years of experience'. I waited in the waiting room for over 1/2 an hour & his staff claimed she didn't even know I was there (I was the only one there & the nurse had asked me to sit until she could check me in). I also listened to the Dr & a staff member talking about me outside the door. was extremely disappointed w this visit! He did not answer my questions or address my concerns fully.

He is a know it all who talked about himself for over half the appointment and why he is right because of all of the "accomplishments" he has achieved. This man mid-diagnosed and would have given me treatments I did not need! Stay far away from this quack doctor!

I am so happy to have been able to see this doctor he is so kind and smart and very helpful he took the time to do all physical test and he is smart and so nice and lead me to where to go to get help I need thank you doctor Geraci

Very poor follow up from office and physician. Office staff are not friendly or helpful. You will wait a long time for a call back and will probably have to call them yourself and will not receive the assistance you need.

I went to see Dr. Geraci at the advise of my physical therapist. I have been attending p.t. and doing my exercises. However, the disc herniations /sciatica that I have are getting worse(numb). I explained this time Dr. Geraci, who advised me to keep doing the ones that cause me pain. The day after seeing him, I'm getting pain in a new area, and now getting pain down my normal leg. I was told in 2 weeks to come back if not better with p.t., then I can get an epidural. I will not be going back.

I have had multiple experiences with Dr. Geraci going way back to 1989. He has helped me immensely.He is a very good listener and always treats one with kindness and compassion. My original injury included torn muscles and ligaments and sacroiliac dysfunction.I thank him for getting me fit enough so that I could return to work.

Dr. Gerace and his staff have no regard or concern for their patients. My friend went in for a consultation because she was new to the area and did not know where to go for treatment for her back pain, which was severe. Dr. Gerace sent her for an MRI and then without ever looking at her imaging suggested she have an epidural injection for the pain. It turned out that she had a severe disc herniation that was pushing on her spinal chord. As I type this she is in emergency surgery at the hosipital

Based on results of an MRI, my PCP wanted an immediate referral to a neurosurgeon. I was not anxious to undergo surgery, & based on the recommendation of a friend's family member who saw Dr. Geraci,I scheduled an appointment with him. I was pleased that he took the hoped-for conservative approach, giving me an exercise to do at home and prescribing physical therapy. Most of my symptoms have subsided. I have no pain & am functioning at about 98%. No shots. No surgery. THANK YOU DR. GERACI!!! :)

Very conservative care. Exactly what I wanted!

Have received several shots from Dr Geraci. Most of the time I cannot walk or need assistance to get around. After his injections they have always helped. How long they last depends on my body. One lasted 10 months and another 2 months. Thank GOD that our medical doctors can do this procedures Thank you DR GERACO

This doctor can think outside of the box with excellent diagnostic skills and physical exam. I have had a recurrent problem of 2 years and Dr. Geraci was able to not only diagnose it but treat it. I'm now able to do the things I love!

Dr. Geraci got me back up and running. I had a tear in one of my leg muscles as a marathoner and triathlete down time is hard to swallow but with physical therapy I was able to get back to the sports I love. I'm super happy he didn't push drugs or surgery if it wasn't needed. All I needed was rest and focused re-strengthening. If my friends even suspect an injury I send them here.
