Scott J. Tarantino, M.D.

Dr. Tarantino is friendly, direct, knows what he’s doing. Wish all MDs were like him.

It took him about 30 seconds to diagnose my ruptured Achilles tendon. By the end of my first appointment he had an OR day and time schedule for the following day. He is a skilled surgeon and his bedside manner is unparalleled. The only bad thing about his office is the parking, Please, have someone… Read more “Skilled Surgeon, Unparalleled Bedside Manner!”

Dr Taratino was incredible and so honest! I tore my ACL and he recommended holding off on surgery because it was not a complete tear. He was confident it would get better without surgery and he was right! He did not want me to waste my money on surgery and put my needs first. I… Read more “Very Knowledgeable and Trustworthy!”

Very good communicator, very friendly and conservative in his approach. Great Dr.

I could barely walk when I went into his office with a torn meniscus. After reviewing my x-rays and MRI he recommended aspirating the knee. The relief was immediate. I cannot say enough good things nor thank him enough for the pain relief he has provided me. He suggested holding off on surgery unless the… Read more “He is a Blessing!”

I saw Dr. Tarantino for the second time in 12 years. I am impressed at his conservative approach. He makes you feel like you are the only person he’s seeing today, not rushed and takes ample time to explain many nuances that I do not believe I would have been shared by the average provider.… Read more “Impressed!”

To Dr. Tarantino, Staff and Towson Ortho — From “ME” and from “The Top of My Right Knee to the “Curve of My Left Shoulder and Bottom of My Right Hip–WE ALL” gratefully say Thank You. “WE” Very much appreciate your making it quite possible to plan forging ahead to take these lovely Baltimore Bones… Read more “Thank You!”

Had my second ACL tear (opposite knee) this past February, went to Dr. Tarantino and had a way better recovery and surgery with him! Would recommend him to anyone! Great experience with (TOA) TSM!

The BEST!! Did BOTH of my knee replacements! Saw him for 4 years PRIOR to the replacements for conservative therapy. He gave me advice on the correlation between weight loss, physical therapy, increasing muscle mass, and diet on joint disease. Dr. Tarrantino’s bedside manner, font of knowledge, friendliness, and professionalism make him and the ancillary… Read more “The BEST!”

This is my second surgical experience with Dr Scott Tarantino and Ben Gardner, PA. This group performed my first TKR in January 2016, and my second TKR was recently done on 1/2/19 at St Joseph’s Hospital. Although, I’m still moving slowly, and have about 3 months of Physical Therapy for strengthening and ranging my new… Read more “Outstanding Surgical Group!”

I had my first knee replacement in February and was scared of the pain and recovery process. Following his pain regime I had a pain free experience. Since the first one went so well I decided to do the other knee in June. Again I followed his regimen and followed through with PT and had… Read more “Thank You Dr. Tarantino for an Awesome Experience!”

I have had two surgeries done by Dr. Tarantino. I had an ACL reconstruction done with him 3 years ago and my knee feels great. My knee is more stable than my non-surgically repaired knee. I also had my meniscus trimmed in Jan 2018 and it helped fix the chronic popping in my knee. Dr.… Read more “Smart, Caring, Knows His Stuff!”
