Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I would leave zero stars if I could
This doctor does not have a care in the world about his patients especially if they’re old

Dr. Ciarolla provided me with competent and timely care during a very difficult time. His staff were efficient, kind, and reflective of the quality of care that I received, and continue to receive, under Dr. Ciarolla's guidance. I am eternally grateful to them all.

He’s is not helpful, pushes his patients off on his PA, doesn’t explain anything. More interested in patients at his other offices than the Long Beach one. Not surprised when my IPA didn’t renew their contract with his practice

I needed a CT ordered for my neck, chest, abdomen & pelvis. All 4 parts. Well the Dr forgot to put neck on the order. I saw that & called his office, they said they fixed it. When it came time to get my CT the tech says that the neck wasn’t included. The imaging center didn’t update the new order apparently. Lots of mistakes made and it started with Ciarolla. However, the lack of acknowledgement of any wrongdoing on his part is why he gets a 1 star.

i went to him for blood issues , he told me i was wrong , then put negative remarks in my chart ,saying i lied about the amount of issues i had been treated for . my Dr let me know what he wrote .i ended up going to a university for treatment! they found i not only had been honest ,i had more issues than they had seen before in one patient . too bad his ego got in the way of treating a patient that really needed him !

About Me

care philosophy

I believe the best care can be achieved only when patients understand their conditions properly and are fully satisfied with the care they receive. Through effective education, patients are empowered to partner in their care and achieve their health priorities.
