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.

If it not something totally obvious, forget getting any kind of diagnosis. Talk to the assisant for 6 minutes. Talk to the Dr. for 6 minutes. If it is't something subtle that can't be diagonsed in one minute and will require digging, forget about it. He'll shake your head and send you are your way with zero help what so ever.

I feel blessed to have Dr. Pennachio as my internist. He is so thorough and works on a "problem" such as high blood pressure until it is solved. I enjoy my visits and conversations with him immensely. I always feel that he wants the best for me. When I moved to Providence I continued to see him rather than changing to a new physician.

Basically useless. May as well go to a CVS clinic and be helped by a pharmacy technician or front register operator.
