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.

Truly has a God complex
He is insulting, rude, unprofessional, and condescending. He doesn't like to be questioned. As a RN, I've worked around doctors my entire life, but he is in the 10 % that I hope never to experience again. All he cares about is a paycheck. You are just a number to him. Go somewhere else. You'll thank me later.

Rude and unprofessionalal
Didn't expect much after reading reviews and was pleasantly surprised after first visit. However the follow-up was horrific. I was cut off and hushed when I attempted to discuss my health. Actually raised his voice and walked out when I asked for a refill on a medication that I have taken for 20 years. Literally refused to discuss it with me or listen to me explain what happens when I do not take it. He didn't care. He could have suggested a sleep study to verify but he would not let me get out a word. He was very confrontational. He would ask a question like an interrogator. I was barely allowed to answer as he would cut me off. My entire visit was maybe 5 minutes. Based on this visit, I could not recommend him to anyone for anything.

He comes off as he truly cares about your health. As your a patient for a few months, you start to see that he doesn’t trust you with the prescriptions that he prescribed to you. It’s a real shame as he could be a very good doctor. Stay away!!!

I had fallen on a Friday and suffered a Concusion/head injury and injuries to other parts of my body. Was told in Emergency room to see my Doctor immediately. Called for an appt. His schedule was to full to see me. Suffered quite a lot, yet tried to see him again. Made it there, was 14 minutes late, due to injury and traffic. Was told he put me down as a no show. Although the Receptionist said he was at lunch and would ask if he would see me when he came back. He said no after I had waited 40 minutes for his answer. Tried to make another appt. Was told I was dismissed as his patient as I had caused a scene that day when told he would not see me. Absolutely Untrue. All of my other Doctors are apalled over this terrible lie that was said about me. I don't cause scenes and did not do so! I was lied about, not seen after trying 3 times by him with a serious injury. I would not trust him nor would I set foot in his office after such Insensitive treatment and such lies! So unprofessional!

Dr. Pecoraro is one of the best Dr.s out there. He found out that my Liver was damaged and needed a transplant. He has guided me through this process every step of the way. He is always polite and always looks for ways to treat you. I am thankful I found him!!

He talks down to you like you don’t know anything. Does not listen to what you have to say. However he is a good Dr has caught some very serious health conditions. If he would only realize that you have been living with your body forever

I had an appointment with the doctor but no labs. So his assistant initially was going to make a lab appointment and reschedule. I said I have a list of questions I would like to discuss. In a condescending way she stated let me see what the doctor says. I found him to be the worst MD in not responding to queries directly. I had several appointments with him and he personally never spent more than 7 minutes with me. He can be pleasant but his focus seems to be on numbers not quality.

He is an excellent doctor. Very understanding and considerate. He listened to everything I said and answered my questions throughly. His office staff was also quick and through. The only complaint I had was that it was hot in his office area and patient room I was in. He asked alot of questions and got a through past medical information from me to be sure he covered everything. I would recommend him to anyone who wants a great doctor.
