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.

A wonderful doctor!!
My mother saw Dr. Pagnozzi recently and he has excellent bedside manners and always answers all her questions. We couldn’t recommend a better doctor than him!!

I needed my gall bladder removed and in the process of diagnostic imaging via MRI they found 2 lesions of unknown origin. Dr. Pagnozzi was extremely thorough and ordered additional MRI imaging to determine underlying imagining prior to removing my gall bladder so that he had the big picture. I had minimal pain and discomfort following the surgery. He did an excellent job. He has a clear and concise manner for communication and thinks in multiple directions to make sure he has covered all of the bases and provided the most comprehensive medical care to his patients. I am very pleased with his level of professionalism and clinical skill. I highly recommend him for any surgical situation that is within his medical scope.

Performed 2 colonoscopies for me. One involved the risky removal of a large polyp. Doctor P. has excellent communication and surgical skills. I strongly recommend him.
