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.

I made my first appointment for a physical and once I was there, she said it wasn't a physical but an "introductory appointment" and that I would have to return to get an annual exam (still paid a copay). I told her I would be traveling out of the country and she asked me which vaccines I needed. She was awkward when discussing one of my chronic conditions and seemed judgmental. She was a very nice, sweet, friendly person but as a provider made me feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Dr. Vaccaro is terrific. She is a great patient advocate -- one who will go to bat for the right test, medication, therapy, etc. Her approach is laid back and respectful; she takes the time to listen to her patients' fears and concerns, approaches others as competent partners in the diagnosis and treatment of illness, and develops an interest in the whole person. Dr. Vaccaro is an extremely smart and thorough doctor in whose care I feel very safe and very confident. We are lucky to have her.
