Dr. Robert Cucinotta, MD

I first met with Dr. Cucinotta on a referral from my primary. At first, I felt like he paid attention to what I had to say, until I read my after-visit notes that were completely incorrect and included things I definitely had not said. He ordered some tests, which I was on board for. My issues came after the first round of tests. There were some irregularities in my labs, and he told me everything was fine but didn't bother to explain why the irregularities might exist. Then after the first two tests, I couldn't get him to review the results with me. I called and the response was to order more tests. Again, fine. I assumed the first set showed no answer and we needed more. Had two more different tests run. This was over a month and a half ago and I have not received any updates or follow ups from his office or him. So, 4 tests in, and none have been reviewed with me, no further guidance on what we need to do, just silence. I found a new GI and within a week received a diagnosis.

My visit took longer to schedule than the actual interaction with the physician. Dr. C was in the room with me for a total of 5 minutes. Most problematically, the notes report in my chart afterwards summarized evaluations that were NEVER performed (i.e. abdomen palpation, etc., when neither the doctor nor the nurse even touched me!). The doctor looked at the bloodwork results from my PCP, asked me a few questions, and left. This rushed evaluation was doubly disappointing when I saw the made-up summary in my records afterwards! I will take my healthcare needs elsewhere in the future and hope that his patients don't end up with serious undiagnosed problems that could have been caught early but weren't because of this type of approach.

Ridiculously bad with respect to scheduling. I had a prescription run out that he could not refill without seeing me. Fair enough and partly my fault. But when I tried to schedule an appointment, even just a five-minute consultation in order to tell him that the regimen is working and get the prescription refilled, the soonest he could get me in was in TWO MONTHS. I told the staff member I was speaking with that I would very likely be sick inside a week without this medication. I asked if this made sense to her. She said "If I was you I can see where it doesn't make sense, but as a health care worker it makes sense to me." What part about that implies either "health" or "care"? Dr. Cucinotta is actually pretty good and has helped me, but it doesn't matter how good a doctor is if you can't get in to see him. Recommend you call someone else - anyone else - who can schedule you before you die from whatever is causing your health problem instead of trying to work with this inferior practic

Saw Dr. Cucinotta for a colonoscopy.....His team was super, friendly and thorough! Scheduled my husband too!

Horrible, just horrible! I had been in remission with my Ulcerative Colitis for a couple months when I suddenly went into a flair. Sent him a message thru MyChart asking if he could switch my maintenance medication because the meds he had put me on stopped working. Fast forward 6 months and even after literally begging him to switch meds he still had done nothing and I was miserable with bloody diarrhea. Simply put, he just didn't care. I found another gastro Dr and he found out within 3 days what was wrong with me...I had a parasitic infection!! LOVE my new Dr and I'd never go back to Dr Idiot. In my opinion he shouldn't be practicing medicine at all.

Excellent care from Dr Cucinnota and the whole OP Surgery team at MHMH, Oxford IH today. Much appreciated!

Some physicians really are concerned for and want to help people...some are in it for the money. That's Dr. Cuciotta. In our visits with him he didn't come near us, stood in the doorway to tell us what was needed scheduled. After the procedures we were not given any recommendations or advice on what to do next. He is definitely not a people person. Do not recommend this guy for anything. We certainly will not return.

Dr. Cucinotta was highly professional, pleasant, and reassuring through my recent colonoscopy procedure. I was scheduled within a month of calling his office and received only the best, most courteous treatment throughout the experience from his staff and from the entire team at McCullough Hyde Hospital in Oxford.

Dr Cucinotta has zero sense of urgency. My daughter had labs on Monday for an acute chronic Crohn's flare and as of Friday, he still hasn't read the labs. She has been in excruciating pain since he dismissed her from the hospital after a weeks stay. She called his office twice asking for a non opioid pain reliever. The first time he ordered Prilosec. The second time he ordered Xanax. No one deserves this level of poor patient care.

I left a review on Google too, but I wanted to say that I liked him a lot when I met him at the Ross Facility. The staff at Ross was great and Dr. Cucinotta was personable and professional. I liked that he gets things done, like looking at test results and ordering tests he wants done. I would recommeded him and the Ross facility. Whenever I called his office prior to my procedure, my questions were always answered and the girls were very nice.

Always professional yet friendly without being overly so.

Communication with this office is hard. I tried calling a few minutes ago and I know it rang twenty times and no answer. I have tried to get appointments and office staff will ask the reason and then tell me I don't need to come in for that or they'll say we wlask doc if he needs to see me for that. Crazy! He did treat the hep c and I'm cured.

Communication from this doctor and his office was poor. My questions/concerns were not clearly addressed. At my initial appointment, this doctor asked me a few questions, but did not examine me. I was sent for ultrasound scans, then hurried into surgery for a condition I had not complained about. I was not given scan results or explanations prior to the surgeon's office calling to schedule my surgery the "next day". I felt "railroaded" into a procedure I had no idea was being considered.
