Dr. Gregory J. Fulchiero, a native of Gallitzin and Newry, PA, always wanted to come back to his family and home to practice orthopedics. Since 1977 he’s been doing just that!
Dr. Fulchiero believes that BOA “brings together an awful lot of talent for trauma, joint replacement and hand/shoulder/knee/back management to meet the healthcare needs of the patients and the community”. He views himself as an orthopedic generalist with a special interest in joint replacement.
At home, time is spent in Altoona, PA with his wife and their four active children, who light up his life and his home.
