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.

Happy Patient
All visits are complete, informative, understood and worthwhile. The doctor provides all of the time you need to understand everything pertaining to your visit.

He gives great advice and walks his talk
I had my first appointment with Dr. Frank. It was my annual physical with him. He was much more detailed and more thorough than previous exams with other doctors. He also mentioned about a place that does full body MRI's at a discount to his patients that I used. He called me on a Friday night about the results of the MRI. I am very impressed and pleased.

A Pleasant Surprise
My meet and greet was a pleasant surprise. Most doctors make you wade through NP's etc before you ever get to see them and then they don't take the time to get to know you. Dr. C was very pleasant and we seem to have the same philosophy about conventional medicine. I felt very comfortable with him. Direct eye contact was good:-) I felt also that he was not only listening but gave me some important input. Compared to last 2 docs I visited, he's hands down more personable and understands functional medicine which is what my focus is. I'll update this review when I've had an opportunity to spend more time with him. Next visit will be when his insurance coverage is completed (soon).

Wouldn’t do an EKG
Contacessa refused my request to do an EKG despite knowing I have a heart condition. A few days later I was in the emergency room. I’ll leave the reader to draw their own conclusion as to what rating he should get.

My husband and myself came to Dr.Contacessa as new patients. Our first visit with him was a meet and greet . We found Dr. Contacessa to be very professional, thorough, and concern for our preexisting conditions. We felt very comfortable with him and found it very easy to talk to him . Dr.Contacessa will be our new primary and we look forward to seeing him at the time of our yearly physical this year.
