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.

Renown Hospital ER Surgeon
Went to Renown with I thought was a heart attack on a Friday and the hardworking ER DR. Emily Sagalyn found that I was in acute pain from Inflammation of the gallbladder and called in Dr. Scott Cinelli. Dr. Cinelli is an extremely good communicator, empathetically explained the surgery procedure and possible complications. Dr. Cinelli is a great surgeon, a strong advocate for the patient and I had a successful gallbladder removal surgery. I recovered well and feel better that I have in years. I am grateful to both of these Healthcare Hero's!

I'm 71. A year ago was run over by a pickup truck. Given the extent of the truama, there was little reason to think I'd survive. Dr. Cinelli saved me. It didn't stop there; he stayed attentive to my case. After rehabilitation, on my way to extended care, he examined me again and found a deep infection, via a fistula: the onset of sepsis. Back to the hospital. Had he not done so, I'd have died from complications. I owe him more than words can express. Long live Scott Cinelli.

Dr. Cinelli is an extremely skilled surgeon who performed a very complicated procedure that literally saved my life. I had a very rare acute condition with additional complications and he knew exactly what to do. He was also excellent at explaining each step of what happened, what he did to fix it, and the outcome. I highly recommend him.
