Portrait by Alex Monto
“5 Stars
I have been seeing Dr. Monto off and on for many years. He is always exceptionally present, kind and caring. He listens and always makes me feel seen and cared for. It is also exceptional that he will make room for an appointment whenever there is an emergency or acute need. We need more Doctors with his commitment to the island and his patients. We are very lucky to have him on our staff, as it can take months to get to an Orthopedic Surgeon in general. He is a gift to the wellbeing of our island.

The biggest thing I have to say about Dr. Monto is that he always makes me feel better! I’ve been seeing him for various orthopedic issues for 10 years, and he’s always there for me. He takes the time to sit with you and completely review test results. He is patient without dumbing it down and repeats it back if necessary. I love this guy, and feel our little island community is fortunate to have a specialist like Dr. Monto here. His nurse is also fantastic, puts you at ease, and is super knowledgeable.

”I broke my wrist terribly. He had me in surgery two days later. I’m terrified of the dentist, so imagine surgery. I wasn’t afraid. Post op, a stranger saw me in a sling, asked if he had been the surgeon, and spoke glowingly about him. Very kind. His nurse is also a superstar. She’s also an amazing part of what puts you at ease.”

”I think it’s very important to have someone of Dr. Monto’s qualifications on the island. We do not have a full complement of specialists ordinarily because of course it’s a small community. But Dr. Monto is a genuine expert and leader in his field and it is wonderful to go to him when you need someone for Orthopedics, a sprain, a broken ankle over, any other injury like that.”

”Dr. Monto remembered me from my previous visit with him about my wrist. He explained all of the options for my left knee clearly with pros and cons of each. He let me make the choice but confirmed why he thought that would be the best choice for me. He explained what I had to do next and then what would happen. I feel like he hears me.”
