      This was my second surgery with Dr. Motto. He was the reason I rescheduled the second surgery with him. He's an amazing surgeon who takes an amount of time to explain the process as many times as needed until it's understood.

      This is one of the best physicians that I have seen with UPMC and I have seen a lot of UPMC physicians, and the reason I say this is that he entered the room friendly shook. My hand, sat down and talked with me asked me my concerns went over the procedure came in before the procedure. When I was waiting on the bed explained everything again, told me what I needed to do when I got home and what I shouldn't do and I just felt so comfortable with this doctor I would recommend him to anyone I know and I would recommend him to my closest family
