Dr Pecci spent time and explained my X Ray findings in details. His prescription is effective in reducing my pain. And he helped me get physical therapy right away, while other options thru my insurance required a 1-2 month wait. I am also in the medical field and I can say - This physician is amazing! I am happy to have Dr Pecci as my doctor. Daniel

Dr. Pecci has been my orthopedic physician for several years. I have been very pleased with my care for a number of reasons. There are specific qualities that I look for in a medical provider and Dr. Pecci has them. He is an excellent and patient listener, I never feel rushed, he explains his assessments clearly, and his orientation is kind and positive. I have found his medical recommendations to be very sound. I highly recommend Dr. Pecci.

I've been seeing Dr. Pecci for 10 years for both knees. His excellent treatment has kept me walking without use of an aid. When I first saw him I was using a wheeled walker. After the first round of lubrication shots I was able to walk with a cane. Within 3 months, I was able to walk without a cane. His expertise using an ultrasound to inject the gel into the right area has allowed me to go for 10 years without a knee replacement. His bedside manner is professional but also caring. I would recommend Dr. Pecci a thousand times.

Dr. Pecci is fantastic. He was able to correctly diagnose an issue that was previously misdiagnosed. If not for his correct analysis I would be pursuing the wrong treatment.

Absolutely the best Orthopedic sports medicine doctor you could possibly have to help you with any injury! I’ve seen Dr. Pecci for wrist bone on bone issues, for neck, back and hip pain, and have found him to be particularly thorough, and knowledgeable. He takes the time to diagnose and treat each issue, rather than send you off with a prescription. Plus he’s not a surgeon and does not suggest surgery as an option. You will like and trust him as my husband and I do

I didn't wait long. Dr. Pecci saw me and we talked about my symptoms. I think he nailed the diagnosis of my leg pain. He gave me a corticosteroid injection (which didn't hurt). A week later I was skiing in Tahoe! I would recommend him.

I have been a patient of Dr. Pecci for close to 10 years, if not more. My journey with him began when I sought treatment for managing my knee pain through PRP injections, knowing I wanted to delay knee replacement surgery. Dr. Pecci is an exceptional physician—kind, personable, compassionate, and an excellent listener. He is also extremely knowledgeable and highly skilled in his field. At every visit, Dr. Pecci not only relieved my pain but also successfully managed it with a well-thought-out action plan. He has always prioritized my well-being and has been instrumental in keeping me active and mobile. Dr. Pecci is my go-to doctor for knee management, and I cannot recommend him enough—truly best in class!

I have been a patient of Dr. Pecci's for over two years now. I originally went to him for evaluation of my shoulder, he has been treating my chronic osteoarthritis with ultrasound guided cortisone injections. Because of his precision, I only need three shots a year, and I do not have to consider the option of a shoulder replacement. His attentive demeanor and compassion set him above most. He listens to his patients concerns and guides them with proper care or referrals. This was evident when I told him of pain and discomfort in my knee, he promptly sent me for a MRI, which showed tears in my meniscus. I absolutely would recommend anyone seeking a great orthopedic doctor, to only go to him. Five Star treatments and patient care.

As a new patient of Dr. Pecci, I was pleased that he had familiarized himself with my condition prior to my arrival. Throughout the appointment he listened carefully and explained things thoroughly. Dr. Pecci answered my questions before I even asked them, which I appreciated. No pulling teeth to get information or being rushed out of the office with unanswered questions. He has a kind and gentle bedside manner, which made me feel comfortable, even though I was in pain. The treatment was successful. I was pain free the next day, although he said it might be a few days (under promised, over delivered!). I feel extremely fortunate to have him as part of my care team. Highly recommend!

I had an urgent problem with a knee injury and significant pain. Staff was excellent in getting me in as soon as possible. Dr. Pecci was very kind and patient, listening to my concerns, and explaining the MRI results. He gave me very thorough and practical recommendations, along with a much needed cortisone shot. It’s been 2 days since I saw him and I am almost pain free. I am looking forward to the follow- up treatment which should enable me to do some planned extensive traveling.
