I am a native of Rochester and was raised in Holley, NY. My passion is bringing the best orthopaedic care to rural settings. I was the first surgeon to perform a same day discharge hip replacement at a rural facility where I had a practice. I put a heavy emphasis on joint replacement and trauma. I have performed a significant amount of sports, hand, shoulder and elbow and some foot and ankle surgeries. I specialize in hip and knee replacements. I use an anterior approach to hip replacement that allows for less post-operative pain and faster recovery. I also perform robotic knee replacements.

Dr. Valente was quite arrogant and rude. I felt that he couldn't wait to get out of the room at the end of our appointment. [...]

Dr Valente covered all the basis for all my concerns. He explained everything he was doing and going to do going forward. Also explained the procedure for the CT scan and injection.
