General Info
Dr. Petraco graduated cum laude from Yale University in 1988, after which he received his medical degree from Cornell University Medical College graduating with academic honors. His post-graduate training included an internship at NYU Medical Center and an orthopedic surgery residency at The Hospital for Joint Diseases Orthopaedic Institute, where he was chosen to serve as an executive chief resident in his final year. Dr. Petraco also completed a research fellowship in biomaterials and biomechanics at The Hospital for Joint Diseases. He is a fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and is board certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery.Dr. Petraco specializes in joint replacement surgery of the hip and knee. He prides himself on offering the latest advanced techniques in joint replacement surgery including mini-incision hip and knee replacement. As director of the Department of Orthopedics at St. Charles Hospital, Dr. Petraco was instrumental in bringing MAKOplasty robotic partial knee resurfacing to the hospital. This minimally invasive approach, combined with a patient specific surgical plan allows more accurate implant placement resulting in a more natural feeling knee compared with total knee replacement. Patients are typically discharged home from the hospital the same day of surgery.

Dr Petraco did a fantastic job! Never even needed Pain Meds! Pain FREE!! Thank You!!
excellent
Dr. Petraco was patient, explained things to me well and did not rush me.
Willing to answer any Q's I had...which is a pleasure as not to feel rushed or pressed to hurry out of Operatory.
i had bi lateral knee replacement done six weeks apart in the spring of 2016. Dr Petraco and his staff provided me with the best of care both pre op and post op.My procedure and rehab were done at St. Charles where the care was also outstanding.
Dr. Petraco was amazing from start to finish. His staff is incredible with accomodating patients. I'm so glad I made this decision to come see him.
the nurse, danielle stalh was wonderful. i was so nervous about the removal of stitches and she came in with confidence and her extremely gentle approach that it was over before i knew it. she is a great asset to this team
I had two knee replacements done by Dr Petraco and I can't say enough about the surgery that was done on me. I feel like a new women. I would recommend Dr. Petraco to anyone that needs knee replacement for he is the best surgeon.
We were most pleased with the speediest of the entire procedure from the time we first walked in until we left.
The staff were wonderful and Dr. Petraco was the best.
All doctors and Doctor's offices should run as efficiently as this office is.
Kudos to all.
Thank you
Dr. Petraco was very through and comptent. He had a great bedside manner.
I was unable to walk normally due to extreme pain in my hip. I went to another doctor who told me I had hip dysplasia and needed a new hip, but his attitude left a lot to be desired. My husband had had his knee replaced by Dr. Petraco and had a great experience, so I went to him. Dr. Petraco told me the same thing but much more nicely, so I decided to go with him, and am I glad I did. After surgery I can walk normally and have resumed all the activities I couldn't do before. Wonderful doctor!
Dr. Petraco and his staff are incredible. He cares for his patients. He runs on time, and gives each and every patient the care they need.
I was welcomed by his receptionist with a courteous smile. I was seen in a timely manner.
