"I am very pleased with my experience with Dr.Peter Ameglio. He did a total hip replacement for me. I had no pain whatsoever and I was able to walk. without any type of support in two weeks I would highly recommend him and his staff"
"After the total hip replacement, Dr Ameglio was compassionate and heartfelt concerned about not only my physical healing but my emotional health as well. This doctor is truly a gift from God !!"
"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!"
"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!"
"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."
"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"
"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 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 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."
"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!"
"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. 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."
"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 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!"
"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 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."
"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!"
"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."
"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!"
"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."
"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!!!"
"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 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!"
"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!!!"
