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.

Dr. Skarote, Jacquelyn Finnamore and office staff have always been professional, personable, and easy to work with, they have always gone above and beyond to assist with medical needs. I have never felt rushed and all issues and procedures have always been explained, and there is always time for questions. I could not ask for better care. I have recommended this office to everyone and will continue to do so.

I was switched to Dr Skarote after Dr Sipusic left the practice. I needed a refill on a medication, but Dr Skarote didn't want to refill it because he had never seen me as a patient. He called in enough medication to cover me untill I could be scheduled for an appointment. During that appt, he went through my medical history, etc. He was able to catch the fact that the pharmacy was giving me 10X the dose of the medication he had called in for me. I am so thankful to him for catching it.

I absolutely adore Dr. Skarote. Not only is he an incredibly kind and caring doctor, he has a fantastic sense of humor which puts you at ease. I had to switch doctors late in my pregnancy and I am so thankful I ended up under his care. After only two prior visits with him, he delivered our baby via c-section. I would absolutely trust him with my life. He is always professional, takes every question and concern seriously, and takes his time to explain everything thoroughly. Wonderful doctor!

I love Dr Skarote, would never even consider going to anyone else!! I go to him and so do my 2 daughters. Waiting times are reasonable, he takes his time and explains everything to you. I never feel rushed with him. His staff is always courteous and helpful. I have a strong history of cancer in the family, I would never trust anyone else with my care, I highly recommend him!!

I have been with Dr. Skarote for about 21 years. He is he most compassionate doctor i have ever had. He takes time to listen to any and EVERY question you have, he never makes you feel rushed and always had your best health interest at heart. I have referred many people to Dr. Skarote over the years and they have all been extremely happy with him. His kind, compassionate nature puts you at ease and will make sure that you are in the best hands. He is the best doctor around!

I personally think that Dr. skarote is a good dr. WE Come through some very trying times as patient &dr. Th staff is absolutely horrible !especially since he got his own practice. they do not return phone calls and every time I call I get an answer machine you have to wait over a month to get an appointment and if he referred you to a specialist They don't go to any trouble to get you in timely manner you're on your own. I'm very disappointed and downright stressed out how they've treated

For financial reasons, I had to change medical insurance and leave this practice against my own wishes. After another change to my insurance, I called and explained my wishes to return since my new insurance was accepted by them, was told I would get a call back in 30 mins. Four days later, after no return call, I called again and was then told they do not allow patients to return once they've left the practice. I hung up the phone in tears, I need Dr. Skarote's help, but now I'm helpless.

He is a horrible liar and very lazy! His office ladies push everything on their patients when they should be doing their darn jobs and he doesn't care what the patient says he believes his lazy girls! I've heard from multiple people that they have had an awful experience with his office staff and he teats those patients like they are horrible because he is too cheap to get better staff!

He is the only person I would trust to care for me and my babies! He makes you feel like you are the only thing that matters, and gives you his full attention! I have never left his office feeling like a burden or like he didn't have my best interests in mind. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone!

I would absolutely recommend Dr. Skarote! He expresses genuine care and concern for his patients. He is thorough and does not overlook anything of even minor concern. He has said, It is better to be safe than sorry. And he takes time to talk with his patients. I have never felt rushed out of the office. Nor have I ever felt that having to answer my questions was a burden to him. If I should ever encounter complications I would rest assured that my life is in his hands.

Was a long time patient of Dr. Skarote - but had a very upsetting visit. He and his office staff were very rude and unaccommodating and then would not return phone calls or release medical records to new Dr.
