His specialty also incorporates the use of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound (MSK US).

Excellent caring doctor always
DR Lento has such an amazing understanding of his profession. Many do, but he also explained the issues in language that I could understand, he is patient and has a very nice "bedside manor" As far as I am concerned, I would not even consider going to a different orthopedic physician. Pat Dodge
Entire process was efficient and Dr. Farino was awesome!
Dr. Lento, as always, was very patient with me, explaining every step required for my knee injections and taking care to make sure that I was comfortable and not in pain throughout the procedure. I highly recommend Dr. Lento and the staff at 360 Orthodpedics.
Although we realized I should not have been referred to him, Dr. Lento was great and was able to help me. He also suggested that I contact the pain specialist in Venice where I live.
Dr. Farino is personable, confident and one of the best doctors I have had for the relief of trigger finger. He stopped the pain, clicking and stiffness on the first visit. I would recommend him to all with the condition. Thank you Dr. Farino
Excellent. Dr. Farino diagnosed and treated me for trigger thumb. He is professional, competent and friendly. He takes the time to explain his diagnosis and treatment plan.
I was impressed by how well Dr. Farino explained the Xray of the broken metacarpal bone in my hand. He was thorough and encouraging.
Outstanding!
