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. Longella is one of the best OB doctors around. He is very personable and takes time to answer any questions. From my time with him during my pregnancy and delivery I can tell that he enjoys keeping up with new education and research. When my baby was born he had his cord around his neck and Dr. Longbella reacted fast and calmly and my baby is perfectly fine because of him! He was a very good labor "coach" and kept us informed during the labor.

When I became pregnant,I researched OB's and based on reviews scheduled an apptmt with Dr.Longbella. He was very personable,and confirmed my pregnancy via ultrasound at my first appt.At the 2nd appt I told his nurse I was feeling my nausea has improved and she gave me a look of sympathy. Dr. Longbella performed an ultrasound (vaginal)and told me I was No Longer pregnant and went over options of how to proceed. I cried for Days. Got 2nd Opinion & I now have a Beautiful 2yr old,from that pregnancy

Dr. Longbella is by far the most knowledgeable OB doctor I've ever had. He's helped me through infertility, miscarriages, and the pregnancies & deliveries of my children. When complications came up, he was so realistic and educated me so that I felt a sense of control and had appropriate expectations. He will sit and answer questions endlessly & is always so kind. Very trustworthy, very thoughtful, and always fun to chat with. Dr. Longbella is an incredible doctor.

Dr Longbella is a wonderful provider. He is caring and really takes the time to listen and answer any questions. He took amazing care of me when I was expecting twins through surrogacy. He helped to relieve my stress and conserns by keeping me educated and informing me on what to expect before any issues came up. After the twins, he performed a corrective surgery for me. He is an excellent surgeon. As an added bonus, he is also a valued colleague.

Dr. Longbella is by far the best doctor I've ever had. The birth of your first child is a big deal and there's no one I would trust more than him to get me through it! His bedside manner is amazing, the day after I gave birth he came into my hospital room and just hung out with me and my family for awhile. Wonderful person and doctor. Wish he could be my doctor for everything!

Dr. Longbella is the most personable, knowledgeable, approachable and trustworthy doctor that I have ever met. My son was in the NICU for a couple weeks after being born and at least every other day that we were there Dr. Longbella went to the NICU to see my son and then stopped by my room just to talk to me about how I was doing emotionally and to answer my questions and discuss my sons situation more thoroughly than anyone else did. He also has an amazing and caring nurse, Nancy!
