Insurance listings are subject to change without prior notice. Please call your physician's office or your health or insurance plan to verify coverage information prior to scheduling your visit or procedure.

Independent providers (which could include, for example only, anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, emergency medicine physicians, advance practice professionals, and other independent providers of health care services) may deliver part of your care, and such providers may be considered out-of-network on your health and insurance plans even if the Facility may be considered in network. If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: (877) 810-0372.

I appreciate that Dr. Billante has been willing to think outside the box to try and determine the source of my years-long knee pain. Third time's a charm? I have seen two other orthopedic doctors, both of whom operated on my knee to no positive effect, and were both so arrogant and dismissive that I looked elsewhere for better care.

As a physician my expectations were very high, and I had a wonderful experience. The check in was a breeze and welcoming. Dr. Bilante is an amazing highly skilled orthopedic surgeon with impeccable bed side manners. I felt that he truly cared for my well being. The check out was very efficient and friendly. Would highly recommend.
