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.

Avoid at all costs.

Dr. Filoso does not earn even the co - pay for the time and concern he shows his patients. In reviewing his doctor's notes, I found explicit errors - notes claiming procedures were done, which were not only not done but cancelled by him. Another example - the notes say we discussed diet, which he did not. -- He gets off the phone or zoom session as soon as he can, and rushes through the appointment.

Rude, unfriendly, not insightful, unprofessional
I cannot believe this man is still allowed to practice. He was extremely unprofessional when entering the room, didn’t introduce himself, didn’t ask how I was or make any conversation, sat silently reading my medical history, responded to one of my questions in a snarky manner saying he doesn’t believe the other doctors analyses to be true, and was very rude when I would ask questions that disrupted his silent note taking. When he asked me to follow him to the front desk, a nurse told me to go outside where the waiting patients were and he flat out disappeared. Incredibly unprofessional, rude, unfriendly, gave essentially no insight to my condition, and just not a good doctor. Will never be seeing him again. I never write “bad” reviews (this is my first) but this was such a terrible experience, I had to. It’s so sad to see so many other have had this experience yet this man is still practicing.

Don't Waste Your Time
I last saw Dr Filoso when accompanying my grandfather to a routine appointment in 2022. At the time my grandfather was mysteriously ill with great difficulty swallowing, which caused him to lose 45lbs in less than 6mths. He and Dr. Filso had seen each other for a while. Dr. Filso not only showed up at 4:55 for a 4:30, he walked in, went straight to the computer, and did not acknowledge neither myself or his patient. When he turned to speak to us, his phone immediately buzzed and Dr. Filso felt that it was an appropriate time to read his messages. Although this appt was for something benign and routine, I am still appalled to this day at how little he acknowledged his 81 year old pt. In the end, even AFTER a prostate exam, he never noticed the extreme weight loss and malnourishment. He never even asked for my grandfather's coat to come off and ignored symptoms of other issues. We found out the same month my grandpa has ALS. Don't come here if u want a Dr to even LOOK at u. Filoso wont

excellent service.....very thoughtful doctor.
he has a very thorough thought process and is not over reactive. He may seem rather taciturn but is very human and excellentto talk to and share things with. His experience speaks for itself..

While we did not exchange plans to have Christmas dinner together, I found Dr. Filoso professionally skilled and helpful in easing my current discomfort.

this man filoso has the personality of a tree stump. the field of medicine is suppose to "help" people and this person just doesn't get it. angry and rude. avoid at all costs if possible. i'd rather ask the guy at home depot for his opinion. "no offense to anyone at home depot" but this guy should "NOT" be working in a hospital. two of his coworkers "behind his back" also confirmed my opinion of him..

I waited over 3 hours to see the doctor. I waited only because I had to leave town on business the next day and couldn't reschedule. I spent about 10 min with the Ultrasound engineer and about 10 min with the Dr. I was there a total of 4.5 hours. Yes 4.5 hours. That does not include the 15 min I arrived early. My next apt, I was told I was the second apt of the day. I waited almost 2 hours. Was there 2.25 hours total. Not acceptable.

Didn't listen to a word I said. Sent me for a cat scan when I requested an MRI. Ignored my allergy to Iodine. Wound up in the emergency room. The office is very poorly run. A total disregard for the patients.

I was in extreme pain and was told I wasn't 40 years old anymore. I then went to another specialist and found I really had a medical issue.

I was not diagnosed and was given a 3 month prescription of antibiotics after already being on one for one month that he prescribed. Then the prescription was never called in. I am not comfortable taking a 3 month prescription after the one month did not work and we don't know what is wrong with me. I am going to another doctor who will take my condition more seriously.
