When Bill Flutie, brother of college and pro football star Doug Flutie, blew out his knee playing baseball, his primary care physician, Dr. Steve Badolato, referred Bill to First Choice Medical Group’s Dr. Tony Lombardo.

“I had a complete tear of the patella tendon,” said Flutie. “My tendon had actually chipped away a piece of the bone from my knee cap, and Dr. Lombardo had to perform a special surgery to repair it. He and his staff were awesome and treated me like family. They were very informative, friendly and professional – I highly recommend Dr. Lombardo and his First Choice Medical Group team.”
