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.

BEST DR. in the world!!!!
Best and ONLY doctor I would go to. Have been going to Dr. Cafaro for YEARS - as well as my son, my sister, my daughter, my nephew, my ex husband and even my deceased mother. Great diagnostician. Very calming.

I have been a patient of Dr. Cafaro's for 15 years, and I couldn't be happier with the care I have received. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a primary care physician. Great guy!

I think Dr Cafaro is an excellent physician and great primary care doctor. He is able to connect with you as a patient. He is a good listener - and takes the time to get to know you. I found him to be a very good diagnostician with a good network of specialist colleagues. I recommend him without reservations -

He was my dr first. He brought in a nurse practitioner. I started seeing her. When she left she mailed out a letter stating Dr. Cafaro would continue to see houses patience. When you call to make an appointment I was told he is not taking any of her patients. No explanation why just a no. I called the next day not mentioning my name asking if he was excepting new patients I was told yes. Why wouldn’t he see me and just left me now without a doctor???

Dr. Cafaro has been my primary care physician for 10 years. I would recommend him to any family member or friend. Dr.Cafaro really does care about my health. I have had many various health issues, that have been correctly diagnosed by Dr.Cafaro. He then correctly refers me to the specialists that I need to see. Every three months, during these 10 years, I have an appointment with Dr.Cafaro. I will continue, gladly, to have Dr. Cafaro as my primary physician.

First off, my entire family comes here. From my parents, wife, son, cousins. Dr Cafaro becomes more than just your doctor, he becomes a friend, and one that cares whole heartedly. He has a gift and my experience he has never been wrong, not once. He brings the old fashioned family doc, with the latest technology and information. I was referred here from our family doc that retired long ago. If someone you trusted and cared for you for so long refers you to someone, he knew long ago it was right.

Dr. Cafaro is hands down the best doctor I have ever been to. One of my friends commented that he is the best diagnostician she has ever seen and I completely agree. For someone who has been in the business as long as he has you would think his chairside manner would have changed but it has not. He's a genuinely nice guy, and he takes it personally when something doesn't work out the way it should (like new or changing medications). I would highly recommend him to anyone, and I have.
