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.

Telehealth
He is a good listener and puts you at ease. If you leave a message, He will contact you right away. You can ask him any question and he will answer according to his experience and knowledge. Dr. DelPizzo is quite humble and down to earth especially when you consider his years of experience . He was referred to me by another M.D. My husband was also throughly impressed. I can only hope and pray that he remains the same and that Jehovah, my God will bless the spirit he shows. Recommendations are in order.

Medical Office Failure
Bad Experience. I guess this is what they call medical office failure. Emergency room visit on 1/4/23 for my son resulted in finding of large kidney stone requiring surgical removal. PCP recommended Dr Del Pizzo. DrDP said all the right things, as did his staff. Brought my kid in on Friday 1/6/23 for blood work, scans. With serious discomfort, told the kid they'd be in touch Monday 1/9 to get him in for surgery (after initally telling him booked for ~3 weeks). With no call back, kid called DrDP on Monday afternoon. Still no call back. It's now 1/11 - a week since ER visit! Still, no call back... Luckily we found another Urologist who understood the need and made room for surgery. If you are reading this - yes, maybe you should find another urologist too.
