Thank You
Anand Singh"
"Prior to becoming a patient of Dr. Ameglio, I was misdiagnosed and inappropriately treated. Dr. Ameglio took the time to listen, work through the various symptoms and explore treatment options.I felt like I was getting customized care and attention. After a hip replacement and SI fusion, I am progressing well. Dr. Ameglio is a caring and compassionate professional. God Bless Him!"
"Not only was my appointment thorough and easy, I received an injection 6 weeks ago and have had no pain since in my hip!
Dr. Ameglio is kind and concerned about the overall well-being of the patient, not just the complaint that brings them to the office.
Thank you!"
"Dr ameglio and his staff are absolutely amazing. Calm, patient, kind, thorough. They take the time to get to know you and make sure you understand what is going on. They also take the time to get to know you on a personal level. They just absolutely care and are so wonderful"
"I am Dr Ameglio’s #1 fan. He did my hip replacement surgery a year ago and I at times I forget I have a “replacement”. I have no pain or restrictions at all. A couple months ago I took a cross country flight. I set off the metal detector when going through the TSA check. After going through and setting it off a couple times the attendant said “any chance you have an artificial joint in your body?” I said OMG, I forgot that I have an artificial hip!
There will likely come a time my other hip will need replaced as well (darn arthritis) Wheever that time comes you can bet I will be calling Dr Ameglio!
Not only a great surgeon but a great, down to earth guy as well!"
"After 30+ years of low back pain and an inability to keep the vertebrae in line, I have relief. From the time I was in recovery from my SI fusion my pain was gone. I am walking 2 miles a day and am only 5 weeks post surgery. I got my life back. Unbelievable results. Thank you Dr. Ameglio for listening to my symptoms and solving my lifelong problem."
"As a practicing physical therapist for 45 years and a lifelong recreational athlete, I studied, researched and very deliberately chose both Dr. Ameglio and the SuperPATH procedure and prosthesis, when I knew my left hip had significant degenerative joint changes. I am barely 2 weeks post-op, improving daily, and I know I will be thrilled with the outcome. Dr. Ameglio is kind and compassionate. Please count me as a most grateful patient."
"Dr. Ameglio is an amazing surgeon! I fell a few months ago and had a very complicated broken ankle which was also dislocated. Dr. Ameglio performed surgery, and it is because of him that I am walking again! He’s very nice and listened to all of my concerns. I love his new office, and his staff there are great! Thank you, Dr. Ameglio! I’m forever grateful!"
"As a retired RN, I have met many physicians over the years, but none as kind, compassionate and competent as Dr. Ameglio. His office staff is great too! I recently had a total knee replacement and was pleasantly surprised by Dr. Ameglio"s ready response when contacted by the home agency with any questions. I highly recommend him!!!"
"I have had foot issues since middle school and have three different surgeries trying to repair my bones and realign them so I can walk with less pain each surgery left me in more pain and my toes turned sideways and crowding and pushing on one another , Then I met Dr. Ameglio and he came up with a strategy to straighten my toes back out the way they are supposed to be he listened to my concerns and we agreed on the solution .I have NEVER been treated so well and compassionately before and had everything explained so well. I am 8 weeks post surgery and my toes have never been straighter.
Dr. Ameglio is one smart talented surgeon he gave me my foot back.
Sincerely
Dawn Seitz"
"Having had the traditional posterior hip surgery on my left hip, I can tell you that Super Path method that Dr. A performed on my right hip was a much easier experience in contrast. Healing progressed faster with less restrictions. He and his whole office made the procedure and experience seamless. I Highly recommend he and his office!"
"Dr. Ameglio is one of the kindest and most proficient orthopedic surgeon in the Ft. Myers area. He performed my hip replacement surgery, via the SuperPATH method, a less invasive surgery then prior hip replacement routines. I was walking with a cane only 2 weeks after surgery. I had a prior hip replacement 5 years ago and I was on a walker for a month after that surgery. If you are considering hip replacement, talk to Dr. Ameglio first... you won't be disappointed."
"Dr.Ameglio is A #1 in my opinion. he is not only gentle and deeply caring but also uplifts his patients with quotes from the Bible which offer hope and inspiration. he is humble and kind and all has high tech equipment in his office so that he can visualize the injured joint joint in real time while he is injecting it. he has always recommended alternatives to Surgery first, such as physical therapy, etc. his office staff do nt rush you, unlike other practices....you are not just another number to Dr. Ameglio. I highly recommend him to anyone suffering from point pain or disease. lastly, after I had my first injection by Dr. Ameglio, I had immediate cessation of pain. in fact, I felt like I could go out dancing afterwards.you will not be disappointed if you call Dr. Ameglio and allow him to guide you though the best options for you.. hid office is as serene as the soft -spoken doctor. a doctor who has helped e solve the mystery behind my pain and treat it.....A Class Act Doctor I'm proud to call my octopod....Simply Wonderful!
With gratitude,
Gina l. perna, a patient from Fort Myers each, fl"
"I had an excellent experience with dr Ameglio and his team
this was my second hip replacement and the results are amazing ,barely no pain at all and fast recovery.
I highly recommend Dr Ameglio ,thank you"
"After suffering in pain for many years and receiving injection after injection with another orthopedic I sought out the help of Dr Amiglio and his staff and was immediately informed of the S.I joint fusion and confronted with the reality of my condition. After being informed of the proper procedure the staff quickly sought out approval from my insurance company which we all know can be difficult at times, they even brought in another company to help with the approval. Once the date was set and the procedure was completed I felt so much relief. Aside from the normal aches due to the recovery process I was walking four days later under my own steam and after a week and a half most if not all the pain was gone. I am very grateful to everyone at his office and I’m actually returning rather quickly to have my right hip replaced. Thank you so much to Dr. Amiglio, Valerie, Louise and everyone in office. My quality of life has been greatly improved and I am grateful beyond words."
"Dr Ameglio and his staff are delightful. Seems like an odd word to use but its the most fitting.
My first impression was seeing the scriptures on the wall and positive biblical verses and I knew I was at the right place. I felt at peace.
The nurses have worked with me on getting my FMLA paperwork completed and never once made me feel as if I was a burden. They were andnare always very positive on the phone and in person.
I saw Dr Ameglio today 10 days post op and he put to rest my lack of self confidence as to where I was in the healing process. I thought I wasn't doing enough and he assured me I am doing a great job in recovering and reminded me its a process. I walked out of the office feeling much better and more positive.
They also do no make patients wait. I have never waited longer than 5 minutes. Also Dr Ameglio walks you out while encouraging you. This small gesture means alot. He doesn't cut you off when you talk and explains all processes in detail.
Overall this place welcomed me and I will never go to another Orthopedic doctor ever. Good people."
"I had a knee replacement performed by dr. Ameglio Jan 6, 2020 and couldn't be more satisfied with the results. Dr. Ameglio explained everything about the procedure to ease much of my feelings about the surgery. The surgery went very well and I was able to walk a few steps the following day and went home. He visited me multiple times in the hospital and met with my family also. We knew I was getting great care and would be able to contact him any time I needed help. Now, 10 months later, I walk at least 4 miles a day, golf regularly, and feel years younger. Many mornings I sit on the edge of my bed and still expect to feel the pain in my knee when I stand up as I had before the surgery. Then I stand up and there is no pain at all. All right! Another active day ahead thanks to dr. Ameglio."
"Dr. Ameglio is an excellent surgeon and one of the very few that use the SuperPATH technique .After my hip replacement surgery there was minimal pain and NO limitations on the movements I could make, as there would be with traditional surgery. After 2 weeks I was living my normal life and after one month I was back playing pickleball with absolutely no problem. Not only is Dr. Ameglio a great surgeon but he is a caring doctor who explains everything and will answer all of your questions in detail. I totally recommend Dr. Ameglio."
"Dr Ameglio has done both of my hips in the past two years and has preformed a SI joint fusion for sciatica within the past 6 months. When I had my last hip done about a year ago I was continuing to have pain in the hip area. Dr. Ameglio diagnosed sciatica and did the SI fusion for me six months ago. What is interesting is a lot of patients present with hip pain after a hip replacement and it is sciatica rather than any problem with the new hip. He diagnosed me and did a fusion of my SI joint. I'm a 71 year old recently retired nurse. I've always been super active and now I can return to my rollerblading and aggressive activities that I have done in the past. Thank you Doctor Ameglio and staff for taking such good care of me and getting me back to my normal healthy lifestyle."
"This is the fifth week of my recovery from a hip replacement with complications from a steel rod to replace a fractured femur. I would publicly thank my surgeon for making this last stage of my life a pleasant event.
Dr, Ameglio took on the challenge I presented him with after a goodly number of his colleagues declined taking on a “high risk patient”. I would wish that every patient could have my experience with Dr. Ameglio.who is the very best in every sense of the word."
"I have great confidence in Dr. Ameglio. I have had knee, shoulder, SI and hip replacement, all done by Dr. Ameglio.
Recovery is painful but function is incredible.
I highly recomend his services. He listens to his patients."
"Dr Ameglio and his staff exceeded all my expectations. The day after my surgery I already had more flexibility than before the procedure. My recovery time was at least half what I anticipated. Dr Ameglio has a wonderful bedside manner as he is not only kind, but listens to your concerns and provides all the information you could ask for. Posted for Sharon Long"
"I was very pleased with Dr Ameglio and his staff. His entire staff are the best. I especially am grateful for Val‘s help. I broke my elbow on Christmas day. I was told by two different doctors I would take 3 to 4 months to recover. I had surgery January 6th. I had my cast off and was back to life in less than two months. Dr Ameglio is so kind. He of course is a brilliant surgeon and doctor. If you need ortho surgery I for sure recommend Dr Ameglio. He and his staff are amazing! I also love his office. It felt like a spa. Very Zen. Thank You!

"Dr. Ameglio is like a breath of fresh air in an often ineffective medical surgical environment. His super Path approach for a total hip replacement is preferred,as it reduces lengthy recuperation, reduces need for opiates and facilitates return to normalcy. His demeanor is encouraging & soothing. His staff arranged all my post op home care,which went very well. 3 & 1/2 weeks post op, I am full weight bearing & discharged from acute care. The procedure was done as an out patient, no hospitalization.
Fully ambulatory, I can joyously recommend Dr. Ameglio!!"
"Dr. Ameglio and his team continue to amaze me. My first experience was having a hip replaced using his Super Path method achieving truly successful results with little or no restrictions. Now, I started experiencing severe SI pain which initially required 2 SI joint injections. When the pain returned, Dr. Ameglio suggested I consider the iFuse Implant System. I just had this procedure done as an outpatient with great results. My pain is gone! I sincerely recommend Dr. Ameglio for individuals requiring any orthopedic issue."
"Dr Ameglio did a total hip replacement on my 90 year old mother whose pain was off the charts. She is doing amazing and I believe he is by far the best Dr we could have chosen.
This doctor is a man of faith and very humble
He is very reassuring and more importantly he backs it up with great results.
We are so grateful to have had him do her surgery as my mother is now able to live her life with mobility and is out of her wheelchair.
We went to several doctors and by far found Dr Ameglio to be the most caring and concerned about her pain.
He is simply the best."
"I feel very fortunate to have met and chosen Doctor Ameglio as my orthopedic surgeon. I have suffered for several years with hip pain and I'm now pain-free after only 1 and 1/2 Weeks recovery time! Dr. Ameglio is a very compassionate person willing to listen and addressed all the concerns and trepidation I had about the surgery. His friendly Manner and forthright answers made me feel much more comfortable. The superpath surgical technique which he practices leads to a speedy recovery less surgical trauma and a greater range of motion without fear of a possible dislocation. I highly recommend him to anyone needing hip replacement! He's great!"
"Hip replacement surgery was one of the best things I’ve ever done, although Dr Ameglio had a little something to do with it. Dr Ameglio and crew provided me with the very best care. As a result of the the hip replacement my life has improved, I’m playing golf, walking and sleeping pain free. Thank you Dr A and team."
"Sacarilliac issues.... One visit and an injection, feeling pretty darn good. No ache or spasms which were pretty dilibating. Next week getting another injection right side. Very hopeful. After months of trying to figure out my problem, my massage therapist found the issue. Online search produced this amacing dr....
I was looking for a miracle worker, i think i found one!"
"Dr Ameglio and his staff were exceptional. Considerate, caring, knew my name and treated me like family. I had my left hip replaced 10 years ago, and the right hip was now progressing rapidly toward replacement. I consulted with two other doctors prior to 'finding' Dr Ameglio, about whether or not to 'get the right one done'? He covered all of the options and left the decision up to me. Wow, what a difference the 'Super-path' proceedure has made. The recovery time was amazing. I was walking without a walker or cane within two weeks all with little to no pain. Again, the combination of a caring surgeon and a truly revolutionary procedure can't be beat. Obviously, I highly recommend Dr. Ameglio."
"Like many others I dealt with knee pain for a long, long time -- until it affected my quality of life. So I asked my primary dr. for a recommendation -- without hesitation Dr. Ameglio's name was shared along with a comment he is excellent, you`ll like him.
And like him I do -- Dr. A listens, understands and takes time with you, cares about his patients.
My neighbor commented "I want my knee surgery to go as smoothly and as well as yours".
Dr. Ameglio and his team are the best. Friendly, helpful and caring --

"I highly recommend Dr. Ameglio and his stuff.
Suffered with hip, leg and knee pain for 4 years
and tried everything. Finally I met Dr. Ameglio and he performed my hip surgery.
Today I am walking pain free and are able to
play with my 3 little grandsons.
Not only is his work excellent he is compassionate and caring and takes time to go
over everything with you. He seems to care very much for his patients.
I recommend him and his team a 100% and I
Promise you will not be disappointed and very happy you did. I just wish I had done it sooner.
For every great full

"I traveled from St. Thomas for my hip replacement. Dr.Ameglio and his excellent staff were so helpful in coordinating this event for me. I am two weeks out from surgery and finally can walk again without hip pain.I recommend Dr.Ameglio highly for hip replacement surgery!"
"On dec 20 I had my right hip replaced by Dr Ameglio .I am 77 yrs old and diabetic and was a little concerned that that could effect my recovery. I live in a retirement community and the residents here couldn't believe that on day 11 I walked to my car drove to Walmart and did some grocery shopping with out using a walker. I was in good shape before surgery and did all that was asked of after but I'm still kinda amazed at how well its gone. JES"
"The staff is friendly, experienced and helpful. Prior to my SI fusion My tests, dates and insurance was confirmed! Dr Ameglio took time to explain the surgery, I was completely satisfied and so ready for relief of pain. Day of surgery went perfectly, pain level of 10 went down 5 the next day. I’m 2 weeks post op with level of 2, walking upright and stronger than the last 5 years. Thanks to Dr Ameglio, he’s truly the Best. Anyone who experience pain down the leg, or walking difficulties call him, this surgery is amazing!"
"VERY pleased with both of my knee replacements! Learned of him from a good friend who couldn’t quit complimenting his work. She was right. He doesn’t cut the tendon making recovery so much faster. He also has a gentle “bedside manner” and an actual PERSONALITY that puts you at ease. I couldn’t be happier with my choice of having Dr. Ameglio be my surgeon! His staff is very responsive and his affiliation with the Pinacle Home Care staff is superb."
"Dr. Ameglio and his office staff are warm, competent and welcoming. I had an out-patient anterior hip replacement surgery, and was up and about without a walker or care in 2 weeks. Fantastic, knowledgeable orthopedic Doctor. Deb"
"Recently had the Superpath total hip replacement. It was an amazing experience and my recovery to date has been a very easy journey. I had same day surgery and took pain medication on day 2 only. I have been able to control any discomfort with Tylenol and/or ice. Cannot say enough about Dr Ameglio from his professionalism to his compassion and optimism. I began physical therapy on day 3 and continue to meet new milestones in my rehabilitation every session. If you are considering total hip replacement, you must meet Dr Ameglio. He will take the time to sit with you and answer all your questions and explain the Superpath procedure. You will be grateful you did. He and his entire staff are friendly and caring."
"Dr. Ameglio replaced both my hips recently. One in June and the other in September. He is amazing and absolutely the BEST! My surgeries went incredibly well. I was up walking and back to work in a few short weeks. I have nothing but high praise and recommendation for Dr. Ameglio and his incredible staff."
"Dr. Peter Ameglio and staff are excellent. After years of Hip pain decided to go with the Super-Path approach for a total hip replacement. After three weeks of my implant feeling better and walking without the use of a cane. Dr. Ameglio is 1 of 6 or 7 orthopedic surgeons in Florida to use the Super-Path approach and the only one in S.W.Fl Very Happy with the outcome."
"Extremely nice guy, 5 surgeries, not for the better, intractable pain, operated other surgeons. Was referred by a neighbor. Walked in, explained where my pain was emanating from, he knew immediately where the issue was. Came back for an epidural, the pain was almost gone . 5 surgeries , countless shots, years of agony. 2 different surgeons . Dr Ameglio performed an Si fusion. I had just come back from one of the top surgeons at the University of Miami and he couldn’t find the source.Dr Pete nailed it. Small office, great office staff, very down to earth. Highly recommend. Can’t explain how much easier it is to deal with this office as opposed to a huge impersonal practice or hospital"
"I did a lot of research on the hip replacement surgery know as SUPER PATH hip replacement. Dr Ameglio's name was listed as doing that type of surgery. I know plenty of men that had hip replacements but none of this type. My brother with two hip replacements knew about it but that was all. On his they cut the muscle and he said it takes a long time to heal. I had my SUPER PATH hip replacement done by Dr. Ameglio on September 2, 2020. Today, less than 2 weeks after surgery, I had my stitches taken out and am walking with a cane. I have very little pain and the only restrictions are "If it hurts, don't do it". Chipping, putting is okay. Fishing is in also. Because of where the incision was made, no muscle is cut and the recovery time is so much faster. I am 80 years old and came though this surgery with no problems. Dr. Ameglio is great to work with; pleasant, informative, and straight forward about what needs to be done. I am not an expert on this SUPER PATH hip replacement but with personal experience I would not have it done any other way. Thank you Dr. Ameglio."
"I posted a year ago and this is my update: I saw Dr. Ameglio for an SI joint fusion last year on the right side. I am a former patient of his who also had a successful surgery for an ankle tendon repair years ago.
I was absolutely petrified to have an SI joint fusion surgery done. I was fearful of everything that could go "wrong". I asked a million questions. Dr. Ameglio was very compassionate and patient with me at every appointment- always taking time to address all of my concerns and questions. He was confident that this surgery would resolve my long-standing issues and pain on that side, but did note that I may require a bilateral SI fusion. I put my faith in him and his expertise.
His quiet and calming demeaner was the exact approach I needed to help alleviate my fears. On the day of my first surgery, I was a wreck! I was hysterically crying in pre-op holding. He came to my side and sat with me and helped to put me at ease. He is so humble and kind, yet a knowledgeable surgeon. My surgical outcomes far exceeded my expectations and I could not be more thrilled!
Fast forward a year- my right side is rock solid, without pain. However, my left side continued to be problematic. Having had such a successful experience on the right side, I really wanted my left to be as "solid". There were still things that I was unable to do (on my own). I am in my mid-50's, but my body was acting like someone in their 90's.
At this point, I had moved out of Florida and tried to find a doctor close to where I live. I was traveling over 2 hours to surgeons who claim to do SI joint surgery, yet made statements that did not inspire confidence, treated me like a number, or where just derogatory- rolling their eyes at my situation.
I decided to get on a plane and fly to see Dr. Ameglio. I am currently recovering from my left side SI joint fusion and am recovering even better that last time. I am already able to do things I have not been able to do in over a decade.
Dr. Ameglio is not a typical surgeon that treats you like a number. He gives you undivided attention with respect and courtesy for you as an individual person. I feel confident recommending him for anyone needing an orthopedic surgeon- I say this as a patient and a clinician, being in healthcare myself for over 30 years. I am so grateful for his competent, kind, and compassionate care. He is truly gifted."
"I had a great experience with Dr.Ameglio. I had a Super Path total hip replacement and I'm glad I did. I'm walking very well with minimal pain at 4 weeks. During my recovery he made himself available to me by phone to ask any questions I had. I just had my 1 month post-op appointment and I am reminded how caring he and his wife and their wonderful staff are......it's been a win-win situation."
"I’ve had arthritis in my hip for years, went from Dr to Dr, but never really found the right one..until I came across Dr Ameglio and the SuperPath total hip replacement surgery. I live in another state, but my daughter lives in Fort Myers, so I decided to see Dr Ameglio for a consultation, right then I knew I found the right Dr! He and his staff are very caring and professional. I am 58 years old and have never had surgery before, he made me feel very comfortable and was very reassuring.. I am 4 weeks post surgery and i am doing great!! Wish I had found Dr Ameglio years ago! I’ve already recommended him to several people, I can’t say enough about how great he and his staff are!"
"I had a revision of my knee replacement from 8 years ago. This procedure was far less pain full than the prior surgery. I was out of the hospital the same day and walking with the help of my walker. Within two weeks, I didn’t need my walker at all. No one likes surgery, but Dr. Ameglio is a great surgeon. I highly recommend him"
"Dr. Ameglio and his staff are courteous and professional.
The surroundings of his office are both welcoming and calming. Wonderful atmosphere!
Dr. Ameglio performed a super path hip replacement for me as outpatient surgery. It was great to return home the same day. My recovery has gone extremely well and faster than I expected.
I highly recommend Dr. Ameglio."
"I had a total reverse shoulder replacement on May 18th. Getting ready for the surgery I bought a recliner to sleep in. I knew several people that had shoulder surgery and they all had to sleep in a recliner for weeks.. after meeting with Dr. Ameglio I felt so at ease with him and had no worries about my surgery. I was in good hands. I came through surgery great and never needed one pain pill, NOT ONE. There was absolutely no pain, none. I was amazed. I slept in my bed, never did need that recliner. My physical therapist s were also surprised I had no pain. What a wonderful experience. This doctor is a gift and if you're lucky enough to have him as your doctor, you are blessed!"
"I was referred to Dr. Ameglio after seeing a very bad right hip x-ray. All of my pain was coming from my very lower back. At the time I didn’t know what an SI joint was. After a thorough examination Dr. Ameglio told me that my pain was coming from my S I joint. He needed to give me a steroid shot in that area to see if I got pain relief in order to make a certain diagnosis.
I had, at that point, seen two other doctors that seem to think by the x-ray that I just needed a total hip replacement. Dr. Ameglio was so understanding. I was so stressed out over having another steroid Injection. Well I’ve never had a steroid Injection that I didn’t feel until Dr. Ameglio’a shot. I realize that can’t be the case every time
but, I’ve had two now and the same experience both times. After realizing that the shots took the pain away we both knew the problem was in the SI joint . I wanted the surgery immediately to fuse the S I joint to get out of this pain! I’ve never been treated as understanding and as kind as I have in this office by all of the staff but especially by Dr. Ameglio and his wife Audrey. I wanted to be able to get back to my Life. I had the surgery February 3. I woke up with no pain due to whatever was it put into the area during surgery. The next day I got up by myself walked to the bathroom dragging my IV. It’s now February 14, I’ve never used a walker and aside from the normal surgical pain I have no pain. I made a joke when I got home after the first Injection, “ I love this doctor, if he wasn’t married and I was 30 years younger I would want to marry him! “ All joking aside I would recommend Dr. Ameglio to anyone who needs any joint surgeries especially those who don’t seem to have the courage, like myself, to want to face it. I believe he’s the best orthopedic doctor in the area. He is most caring, skilled, and appreciates the fact that some people are a lot more fearful than others."
"Dr. Ameglio is an excellent surgeon. He is very caring and take the time to listen to everyone of your concerns. I am under the age of 60 and I didn’t know what to aspect. He relieved me of all my fears after I talked to him. I had both of my hips replaced within a 9 month period. After each replacement I was up, moving, and walking stairs within two weeks. I was back to work within four weeks walking stairs and feeling great. The love of God is definitely felt in the office and the staff is nice and patient."
"This review overdue. In looking for a doctor that performed the SuperPath method I found Dr. Ameglio. I am celebrating 7 months after having a SuperPath hip replacement. Dr. Ameglio and his staff were professional and always very helpful in answering all of my questions. Surgery and recovery went very well. I was up and walking same day with a walker, exercising for two weeks and walking unassisted in less than 14 days. So grateful for the opportunity to be active and have a new life without pain!"
"I highly recommend AMEGLIO ORTHOPEDICS for your orthopedic consult and care needs. I initially was seen by a different (highly recommended, accredited) ortho practice. I was dx. and treated for approx a year without resolve. I was informed there is NO fix! The constant pain worsened in my L hip, groin, and lower back…it was intolerable. Dr. Ameglio pin-pointed and resolved my pain within a few visits…I'm very thankful for the referral from Axel health, and blessed to have my life back w/o pain. Amazing job!!!"
"I've suffered back pain for years! I'm 83 years old. It did not take long for Dr. Ameglio to figure out the cause of my pain and I had the SI Fusion surgery done on my right side in May, 2024. Within 3 hours, I was back home and pain free! What more can I say! A great surgeon and wonderful man too!. Thank you Dr. Pete!

"Dr. Ameglio and his staff made my SuperPath hip replacement a pleasant experience. The staff at the outpatient facility were also very pleasant. I arrived at 6:30AM for the procedure and I was home by noon the same day. I was walking the same day with a walker and completely without it in 3 days. I've been doing the recommended exercises and walking for 3 weeks now without any significant pain. I had the staples removed today so, I'll be back to doing my own lawn work, swimming, boating and enjoying life again in a week. I highly recommend Dr. Ameglio and the SuperPath procedure if you are a good candidate for hip replacement."
"I was referred to Dr. Ameglio by a friend who had a hip replacement by Dr. Ameglio and was very pleased. I went to him after not being pleased by the DX of another surgeon. After examination, Dr. Ameglio assured me that a hip replacement would not relieve the pain as the problem was the SI joint.
After surgery on the SI joint, I am pain free. He is a careful, caring physician. I cannot be more pleased with Dr. Ameglio and is staff."
"I had superpath left hip surgery in March- did phenominal! Drove to Arizona and Pennsylvania between May and October. Then in January had the SI fusion (right) - doing fantastic! Never used a walker-exercises and walking without pain or problems! Do not put these surgeries off! My life is so much more having the ability to walk without pain. Dr Ameglio - his staff at office and surgery center are superior. Being a nurse for 44 years- it’s exciting to see how far our medical field has come with an expert doctor and surgeon!! Thank you !!"
"Dr.Ameglio and His Staff are very Professional, caring, understanding, going out of their way to help the individual. I travelled 2 1/2 hours to have the Best Doctor for my hip replacement done and I am thrilled I did. Having a hip replacement is a big step for anyone. You want Doctor Ameglio doing the Super Path approach on yourself. Of course, you need to know about things and how to take care of yourself after surgery, Doctor Ameglio did a wonderful job on me, his staff worked with me and continue to do. I wanted an experienced doctor, the best doctor, the best office, the best office team, in all of Florida. My wish came true with Ameglio Orthopedics. They care, really care, and you can feel this vibe when you meet them. I highly recommend Dr. Ameglio. Take Care and keep wishing, your wishes will come true with the best health care, best Doctor and Best Office Team. They are all like shinning diamonds in the ruff Thank you, Dorothy S,"
"I want to thank Dr Ameglio for the FANTASTIC JOB he did on my left hip replacement. The procedure he is using is way way better than then the 30 - 40 year standard operating procedure. Its only been 5 weeks but within 1 week I was walking with no aids. I barely used a walker and I'm pain free with no restrictions. Please do yourself a favor and do a consult with him before letting anyone cut on you. Its unbelievable!!!! Craig Matus"
"Dr Ameglio is an awesome surgeon, he has done total hip replacement on both of my hips in the past 8 months! I am finally pain free!! And can walk much better!"
"After seeing 2 other orthopedics once I met with Dr. Ameglio I knew he was the one for me! Such an amazing experience! One total knee replacement done and one to go! The staff is sooo kind and thoughtful. Nothing but good energy from my visits. Highly recommend for your orthopedic needs."
"The smartest thing I've ever done for dealing with an orthopedic procedure is to learn about the SuperPATH hip replacment procedure. Thank goodness I found Dr Ameglio and his great team.
I did meet with both a Posterior and an Anterior surgeon and they did try to "sell me" on their approach. Then I met with Dr. Ameglio. He didn't try to sell anything, but confirmed everything I learned in researching these options. He accommodated my calendar, and performed inside of my schedule.
His office team starting with Amanda are great. His surgical team was fantastic, so professional and sweet. I took my last oxycodone early the next morning, Tylenol only after that, but did use the ice therapy as directed. No cane after three weeks, and I've been going to the fitness center since the 7th day. The nursing and physical therapy, Pinnacle, that came to our home since have also been wonderful.
I've had two knee replacements and a shoulder repair. This has been the best experience of all of them. Thank you Dr Ameglio and Team., R J Bergstrom

"I love Dr Ameglio and his staff. I had total left hip replacement. He uses the Superpath approach. I was up walking with a cane on my 4th day post op. Today I am 5 weeks post op and walking with out a cane. No pain, no limp. I cannot say enough good things about Dr ameglio and his staff."
"Dr. Ameglio and staff were very professional and caring. I am so happy that my doctor recommended him! The SuperPath procedure was great and my recovery was quite quick. It was serendipity!"
"This review is long overdue. My husband and I have both seen Dr. Ameglio for the past nine years. We started with him at Gardner Orthopedics and followed him as he opened his own practice. He has helped us both with various orthopedic issues. What sets him apart from the rest is that he goes above and beyond to get to know his patients because he treats the whole person. You are treated with kindness and respect. He genuinely listens to you and uses all his expertise to avoid surgery. When surgery is needed, he will hold your hand as you cry and celebrate the joy of recovery with a humble smile. The gratitude we both feel toward him cannot be measured in words.
Dr. Ameglio has recently begun to share some space with SWFL Mobile Therapy so you can get therapy right there in his office or in your home. I have utilized their services as well and again they are very caring and devoted to their patients. Jeanne is amazing! I have had a lot of PT in my day, but she is a cut above! We wish all of them the best of luck."
"I am thrilled with the whole experience with my hip replacement by Dr Ameglio. I did not have any pain since the day after surgery. I’m walking with a cane week two. Superpath surgery is far better. I had another hip replacement (anterior procedure) by another doctor and had pain for months and was much slower at getting back to normal. Highly recommend!"
"I was referred to Dr. Ameglio by my PCP and was very happy with the results. I have osteoarthritis and was in severe pain for several years. Cortisone shot didn't work. So I was approved for a Super Path Total Hip Replacement and never having major surgery I was very nervous. Dr. Ameglio was very understanding and talked me through what to expect and listened to my concerns. He made me feel at ease as well as the day of surgery and the nurses at the outpatient facility too. Now, a month later I'm barely using a cane, still doing my own PT and my pain is about 98% gone. No more arthritic pain in my right hip anymore! HIP HIP HORRAYYY, just had to go there...hahaha. I am looking forward to swimming, walking distances, bicycling, etc., pain free now and for years to come. Thanks so much Dr. Ameglio!!!"
"Wow! Never did I imagine to be pain free immediately after surgery. I had a SIJoint Fusion after 10 years of pain and discomfort, injections, ablutions and physical therapy. They day of the surgery, I was walking and sitting without any pain and no pain medication necessary. My mobility is amazing. I am less than 2 weeks out of surgery and feel completely back to normal, a feeling I haven’t experienced in many years. I had heard that Dr. Ameglio was a skilled surgeon but I am here to tell you just how skilled he is. I won’t get back on my bicycle yet but I feel like it will be a much more comfortable experience. I plan to pick up my power walking again next week, as my daily getting around has been back to normal already. Thank you to the doctor and his amazing and accommodating staff."
"When I researched hip replacement surgery and read about the SuperPath, it sounded like the most non invasive procedure possible. I had never had any surgeries or even been to a hospital in my 66 years. When I found Dr Ameglio and went to my first consultation, he completely reassured me that I had made the right choice. When I returned and was prepping for the hip replacement surgery at 6:30am Monday morning, I asked Dr. Ameglio how his weekend was, praying that it was smooth and wonderful and he felt great. When he said: "It was blessed", I instantly felt like I was in the best possible hands. He was kind, genuine, and a brilliantly competent surgeon. I was walking up stairs in just a few hours and at my friend's home shortly after. I traveled to Florida from the Virgin Islands, where I live, and the medical care is not as up to date. I went home two weeks after the surgery and had lots of steps to navigate easily and am walking and driving and looking forward to swimming in the ocean very soon again. Every single thing went smoothly and easily thanks also to his wonderful and personable office staff. What could have been a scary and stressful surgery, was instead a wonderful healing experience that I will forever be grateful for. If I could give Dr. Ameglio ten stars, I surely would."
"I had my hip replaced on Dec 18, 2024 and had amazing results at 77 years old. I was walking without a walker after 4 days and no cane at 3 weeks, then I cut the grass! The therapist said it was the smallest incision he had ever seen for a hip replacement. I did go to physical therapy and was about 90% after 2 months and of course pain free. I had been in a lot of pain and I wish I would have known about Dr. Ameglio sooner, his SuperPath method really worked out well for me . After visits with several orthopedic surgeons I thought he was the most competent and experienced. After my first visit and speaking with a 90+ year old WW2 paratrooper sitting in the waiting room who said he had his hip replaced and it was "no big deal", that sealed the deal. His entire office is professional and friendly and my thanks go out to them as well."
"I did not come to FL for 3 months and plan to get a total hip replacement, but I was in pain and things fell in place and I was able to get into Dr. Ameglio for an appt. very quickly. I couldn't be happier with my timely surgery and before my 4 week post op I am all healed and able to do what I want. With the excellent physical therapy I got from Shawn Troyer pre op, I was able to go into surgery well prepared. They said my fast recovery was from doing phy therapy ahead of time and doing all the phy therapy after. I thank you for making this a great experience for me and having me ready to go when we leave in a couple days for WI..God bless you! Diane Tappa"
"Dr. Ameglio (and his staff by the way!) is the best - full stop. I am less than three weeks out from total hip replacement and I already feel so much better than I did pre-op! I am already getting around comfortably and limp free without a walker or cane, and I can see a quick return to the active lifestyle that was taken away from me as my hip deteriorated. When the time comes, and it will, I will not hesitate to go back to Dr. Ameglio to replace my other hip Superpath Style…thanks so much Doc, to you and everyone on your team!!"
"Dr. Ameglio performed the super path surgery for my hip replacement. He and his staff are so kindhearted, you are their priority. I never felt rushed one time, they go above and beyond to make you comfortable. He gave me what I am calling my miracle leg.
Forever Grateful.

"Dr. Ameglio was very professional, and helped me get my surgery scheduled in a timeline that was to allow me to still fly 1 month post surgery to attend a family reunion. My appointment was only 6 weeks prior to my flight. He answered all questions and was very helpful.
His office staff, (Amanda and Heather) are awesome! They were very kind and empathetic to my pain on first visit. They both provided me with all the information I would need for upcoming surgery and also stated that if I had any questions or concerns prior to they would be available.
The surgical center staff that supports Dr. Ameglio are top notch nurses and anesthesiologists! They kept my wife very well informed throughout the process.
I would recommend Dr. Ameglio to anyone needing hip replacement which I had, or any other orthopedic need.
I am now 7 weeks post op and feel great! No pain since surgery and back to being able to do things I couldn’t do prior to surgery, and was to able enjoy my family reunion.

"I usually don't do reviews but I just had my 9 week visit. I live in Venice Fl. one hour away and Dr. Ameglio's office. The staff made things very easy to get things done like paperwork, prescriptions, tests and ins. info. I type with 1 finger or I would say more. Dr. Ameglio spent 40 min. talking with me. My reverse shoulder replacement is doing great. I have no pain since 1st day post op and recovery has been way better than I expected. I Will be golfing this week. Thank you Dr.Ameglio"
"I had my first hip replacement in April 2024 and had great results. January 3, 2025 I had the other hip replaced. I am back to normal walking and water aerobics and will play my first 18 holes of league golf tomorrow. I have been chipping and putting for 2 weeks and played 9 holes last week. My return to pickleball and softball will be a little longer but hope within another month. I am a retired nurse and appreciated the information given me by Dr Ameglio and his staff. The outpatient surgical center was great! Friendly informative staff that answered all my questions and kept my husband informed. I would highly recommend Dr Ameglio!"
"Dr Ameglio was recommended to me by a radiology technician for an issue I was having with my hip and said his SuperPath surgery would be a good option for me. I scheduled a consult with him on January 23rd, he performed surgery on February 7th and less than 4 weeks later I am walking pain free! Dr Ameglio listened to my problem and concerns and explained the SuperPath procedure. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone as he is an excellent surgeon. I wish I had gone to him 3 years ago at the onset of my hip pain. If I could give more than a 5-star rating, I would!"
"Dr Ameglio has replaced both hips on my 92 yo mother due to fractures from falls within 5 months of one another. It amazes me how smooth the Superpath procedure is and with little pain. Thank goodness for a great doctor with a state of the art procedure that allows people to get back to life quickly! Who would have thought it was even possible for an elderly woman to continue to have a new chance at mobility. Dr Ameglio is top notched in every way. I highly recommend him!"
"I just had my right hip replaced 3 years after my left hip due to osteoarthritis. Dr. Ameglio performed both surgeries. I had easy recoveries with both surgeries with no post surgical complications. He is easy to talk with and is an active listener. When I expressed certain concerns before the surgery he was able to reassure me and we made a plan together to make sure I was comfortable. I highly recommend the super path procedure and the highly skilled Dr. Ameglio. I chose him after getting 2 other opinions and am happy that I did. At 4 weeks post surgery I was walking on my own and started playing pickleball and golf . Tennis at 6 weeks. And the best part is that I have no pain!!"
"First meeting with Dr. Ameglio was very impressive. Having been in the medical field for 10 years here in Naples I can count on one hand the physicians who compare or even come close to Dr. Ameglio’s compassion and commitment to his practice. Six days post-op SuperPath total hip replacement I was able to graduate from a walker to a cane when necessary. I can’t say enough about this man’s dedication and drive to make surgeries less complicated and quicker recovery for the patient even though it takes more on his end with the actual surgery itself.
He is my ace in the hole and will definitely have him do my much needed knee surgery in the future. Thank God I found him!!!"
