Dr. Charles Ludivico, MD

Arrogant, bizarre questions, rudely spoke to my wife, brought her to tears. Smirky smile.

I’ve been forced out of convenience to see Dr Ludivico for several years. Every single time I come in it’s like he’s never seen or met me before. I have to re-explain all of my symptoms. The last visit was most concerning as I felt he was being very handsy with me. He definitely crossed a line, although it was hard to explain to anyone else. Just overall creepy. I agree with others who say he seems lonely and should just retire already.

was a wasted afternoon. The doctor is very focused on my anxiety and depression and it creeped me out. He seems lonely and made me very uncomfortable; the questions were too personal and crossed the line. I later was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis and feel great with the next rheumatologist that I went to in Reading, PA.

Dr Ludivico didn't seem to want to hear what I had to say. He seemed to want to push his medications and was not happy when I didn't want to follow that. I am going to seek a new dr. who is more open with listening to the patient.

My first two visits with Dr. Ludivico for EDS and Connective Tissue Disease went very well. He was thorough, knowledgeable, and listened. They also filled out paperwork for me for ABAWD. I see here that there are a number of people who did not have similar positive experiences with Dr. Ludivico. As with any doctor, I believe it is important to find a doctor that can relate to you personally, and has specialty in your diagnosis (or symptoms). I would recommend giving Dr. Ludivico a try, as he has been very helpful to me and some other reviewers here, and if you do not have success, to obtain a second opinion from another Rhuematologist. This is unfortunately just how the medical profession works -- you hear wide acceptance of this in the Psychiatry and Therapy industries, and you'd be incorrect to assume that finding a doctor that "understands you" does not apply to other medical professions.

Very disappointing experience with this physician and his staff. He definitely needs to retire. Ordered unnecessary tests and his office staff are incompetent. Trying to bill me when my insurance already paid them. Also waited 20 minutes to be seen even though I was the first appointment of the day! Don't go here. If you do you will regret it.

He seems very thorough at first but once you don’t fall in a predetermined catagory he dismisses you like your making it up even though test result say something is going on. Is very fast talker and examiner and his office is outdated and not connected to Epic. I do not reccomend. I had to leave my last Rheumatologist due to insurance and I regret it

Dr Ludivico speaks in a demeaning manner. When replying to questions can be conveyed as mocking in nature. I would not recommend.

Grumpy, nurse practitioner and cold, disinterested, bordering on rude doctor. The focus was my depression, anxiety long ago divorce to explain what has been rediagnosed as Sgigrens disease after going to another specialist. Now I understand why the office was empty. Staff very courteous.

I've been seeing Dr. Ludivico and his nurse practitioner Nancy for years. I've had nothing but positive experiences with them and their staff. They diagnosed and have been treating me for Hashimoto's, fibromyalgia, and osteoarthritis, all before I even turned 40. They also completed paperwork for me to successfully receive approved FMLA, and their ability to complete bloodwork right in their office is an added bonus.

I was referred to Dr. Ludivico by my PCP after a primary diagnosis of Fibromyalgia. His primary focus was a 16 year old psychiatric history which is well managed. The rest of the time was being a sexist pig! He said I should lose weight, grow my hair out, go to church, think I would get better and I would, etc. His last comment was once I looked prettier I would stop being a victim and I wouldn't believe I was sick anymore. He treated a real pain condition like a joke. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!

Doesn't listen. No returned calls from office staff.

Completely ignored me, total waste. Insisted on not listen tuning to a word I had to say. Other reviews are terrible and much too kind. Avoid this doc unless you are looking for massive headache and waste of your time.

Horrible Doctor!doesn't listen& was focusing on every other medical problem i had.He was talking about my Dermatological and non existing thyroid issues for 90% of the time i was there. When in reality, his specialty is only Rhumetology.Was sent to him from my Pcp because my Pcp was convinced i had Lupus. Bloodwork showed positive a 3rd time& he said i didn't have the symptoms for it even tho he never checked me for Lupus symptoms.i have all the symptoms.disregarded my doctor's report. Long wait

I feelDr. Ludivico is the best Rheumatology doc to ever. He listens to every thing & is very through & professional. I did recommend him to my brother in law and he's very happy with the treatment he received.
