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.

The dr. noted he would call if any concerns. Very positive experience. Excellent "bedside" manner. Kind. Patient.

A+ Nephrologist
I’ve been a patient of Dr. Romanello‘s for approximately four years. From the time I met him regarding my diagnosis of kidney disease, he has taken as much time as needed to answer any questions I’ve had, calm my nerves, and showed genuine concern for my well-being. Dr. Romanello has a down to earth personality which goes a long way. I worked for doctors years ago and witnessed that high and mighty nonchalant attitude. I feel comforted and secure in Dr. Romanello’s hands. He is a well respected and thorough physician who I am grateful to be a patient of. I also want to mention the staff who are friendly and accommodating. Any time I have called to ask them for Dr. Romanello’s opinion on a supplement they have gotten right back to me. I have known Cindy in particular from the beginning. She is a sweetheart. Dealing with CKD has been unnerving but Dr. Romanello has made my diagnosis as least stressful as possible.

Dr.Romanello has been my Nephrologist for over 6 years. He is one of the best doctors I have ever had. He is professional, knowledgeable, kind,optimistic and always explains things in a manner that you can understand. I credit him for being instrumental in helping me achieve a healthy status which enabled me to qualify for my Kidney transplant. My quality of life has improved greatly. I highly recommend Dr. Romanello and all of his staff. I am forever grateful to him.
