Testimonials


It's been a pleasure working with Dr. Carfagno and the SSMI staff. The entire team listens to your desires and goals. They have high expectations for their work and are well respected in the field. While working with Dr. C and the SSMI team, it became very clear how much they care about their patients' health, profession and story.

Dr. C is extraordinary, abundantly talented, attentive, thorough and direct. He makes himself available when others can't and goes the extra mile. I trust Dr. C and the SSMI staff 100%. I truly believe that their expertise in combination with the exceptional programs offered will provide a greater insight into what I can expect at the highest level of professional boxing.

I have already recommended his services to other athletes and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to any other person looking to experience the best of healthcare.

A year ago I experienced unexplained lethargy and fatigue, along with a culmination of tremendous weight gain. I had always been a very energetic person who especially enjoyed running. I am so happy that I made the decision at that time to enroll in SSMI's metabolic enhancement- weight/fat loss program. After the 12 week program, I lost my goal of 25 lbs. and began to feel much more energized. It took hard work but Dr. Carfagno's staff, (including Luke K. and Brittany Z.), was very supportive and well-coordinated with my exercise and diet regimen. I really feel that I experienced such success because Dr. Carfagno also astutely explored the reason behind my RMR results and did bloodwork to discover the cause as well. Scottsdale Sports Medicine Institute is indeed a unique medical practice and Dr. Carfagno and his staff are the consummate healthcare professionals. This program was very educational and enlightening. I next plan to train and run in the PF Chang's half-marathon with my husband and daughters.

Ever since I became a patient of Dr. Carfagno and SSMI, I have learned so much more about my own health. I have an understanding of my blood tests that no previous doctor allowed me to have. For the first time I feel like I am in total control of my future well-being, and that is a result of my time as a patient of Dr. C and SSMI.

I did the 12 week program with SSMI and was impressed with the depth and commitment that the staff had towards me reaching my personal weight-loss goals. I enjoyed working with them and have found that this really is a lifestyle change and not just a diet.
