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.

Hack
The issue with him is he makes things up he changes your words and his office is very dated if you want to be checked the correct way you have to go to Pittsburgh I went to two other neurologists that said completely different than him but just be cautious with him

Thanks to Dr Gennaula i realized i wasn't crazy. I was having alot of back pain with numbness, weakness, and tingling in my hands and feet. When i contacted my rheumatologist a year ago he snuffed it off as fibromyalgia. Dr Gennaula listened to me and ordered an MRI which showed i have a herniated disc. He is a great Dr and i would recommend him to anybody..

He is a ten minute per patient doctor. Very rushed experienced with my elderly mother. He wasn't rude, but he couldn't have cared less about my mom's questions. We were left with no direction to go. Saw him twice, same thing both visits.

My sister, neice and I had a very positive experience with Dr. Gennaula and his staff and would highly recommend him. We took my 8-yr old neice to Dr. Gennaula for an evaluation and his staff worked to reassure my neice and make her very comfortable. She actually fell asleep during one of the testing procedures. Dr. Gennaula was very gentle with my neice and reassured us that her symptoms were not serious and would likely pass with age/development.

Dr. Gennaula helped a family member during a really rough time. A chiropractor advised a neurologist. Numerous MRI’s and tests were done. The condition worsened. While on vacation in Italy he kept in contact to make sure the correct decisions were made moving from one hospital to another. It was for his expertise and guidance that we received quick needed care. I can’t say enough how appreciative we are.

He is the most defensive doctor I have ever met. Any questions are met with attitude. An answer to one question was , "Sue me if you don't like it." I am having difficulty having records sent to my new doctor.
