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.

New patient
As a new patient to Dr. Scarola, I've only seen him twice. I recently experienced some digestive issues, Dr. Scarola listened to my concerns and my description of what my symptoms were. He then ordered what he felt would be the appropriate lab test to be done. I feel he has done what he can so far. Overall I'm satisfied with the care he and his staff have provided me to this point.

Initial visit as my new Primary Care Physician, previous one whom I really liked moved out of state. I was a bit apprehensive, but need not to have been. Dr. Scarola was warm, personal, and complete. I am looking forward to having Dr.scarola as my primary care physician.

I really like Dr. Chad Scarola He makes me feel important when we talk. I know doctors are busy and he has limited time for each patient, but, I don't get the feeling I'm rushed when I see him for anything. He's efficient, but doesn't give me the impression he's rushing me through.

Dr Scarola and the staff at Kootenai Clinc have always been courteous and helpful to me when I have visited. I consider myself fortunate to be a patient of Dr Scarola. Getting out at all is an ordeal for me, but visiting Kootenai Clinic has always been a good experience, and they have been very helpful to me over the years. I'd recommend them to any and all.
