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.

Ahole
Without a doubt the most obnoxious, self important human being I’ve ever been associated with. He makes it clear that he is superior to you and you’re lucky he will even speak to you. He will make your skin crawl. Stay away

He's a no nonsense kind of doc. You won't become addicted on his watch. Very knowledgeable. Follows the rules. I stay with him cause I can walk in. I like Umberto too. Respectful of women.

miserable old man
Dr Alberto Savoretti for about 3 months so I had to see Frank Savoretti for a sick visit-he is impatient, has horrible bedside manor, rude, irritable, raised his voice at me when not understanding his question and was completely unhelpful. I had to be seen again at urgent care since I received no xrays, no proper meds, etc. I went in for extreme pain and a fever which caused my blood pressure to rise which normally i do not have high blood pressure- instead of questioning that and running tests i was given a blood pressure pill and told to come back again in a month! Thankfully the urgent care knew something was wrong and gave me new meds for the inflammation and discomfort and a referral to a specialist- apparently I have an autoimmune disease that was never diagnosed! On top of all that there was a med error in my chart where my birth control was put in as a pain med- md did not correct and instead has inactivated my patient portal and has denied refills for my thyroid and psych meds

I've seen some other reviews about Frank here and I can understand how he might rub some people the wrong way. He has a very direct personality and will certainly tell you his opinions if he feels like you are taking actions in your life that he thinks are risky. In these or similar cases (such as delaying getting treatment until your symptoms get chronic), his personality can border on what some might interpret as sarcastic or lightly chiding, not unlike a father wagging his finger at their kids for neglecting the oil change light on the car. But Frank clearly cares for his patients beyond an in-and-out cash grab. He takes insurance other Drs won't even consider. He will always fit you in when you need care, same day, no appointments. I have been honest with him about my issues, habits, and lifestyle and he has been straightforward in how he manages my care and always gets me help, referrals, and recommendations as needed (regardless of his personal feelings) and has been honest about

Very dismissive
Dr. Savoretti is very dismissive of patients concerns. He makes NO effort to explore the symptoms but is more than happy to offer meds to make you feel like your visit is worth while. Exams are quick and rushed. Just not happy with a doctor who isn't willing to work with me to find answers. Very hard to feel good about this Dr.

Spends 5 minutes in room with you doesn't matter what is wrong he will give prednisone. Would you need referrals he won’t send it til months later . Thinks he knows it all since he is so ancient. Do yourself a favor and don’t ever consider going to him . Only getting 1 star cuz zero isn’t an option

if its optional i wave it – Feb 01, 2020

My husband will soon leave this office too for the same issue and lack of one on one care with Dr. Savoretti's. Dr. Savoretti provided a referral to see a GI for a colonoscopy at my husband annual. Dr. Savoretti knows our insurance requires a referral and approval directly from our insurance? Dr. Savoretti stated that in his referral! But, yet did not provide insurance referral or approval, that he know has to come from him? This was in April 2019. The Gi specialist called to make apt. When, I asked if referral was provided through insurance, the office said, "no that his PCP had to provide that through insurance". I immediately called Dr. Savoretti's office and left a message for him with their receptionist. Now, after over a month of waiting, I again called the GI to check on insurance referral. The GI office had not received it, yet? I call Dr. Savoritti's office again, to remind them of what Dr. Savoritti ordered for my husband and to date...did not provide referral?they refused?

Dr. Frank at first seems nice. However after some time he becomes a know it all and gets very pushy. Doesn’t really listen because he thinks he knows you. I lost over $10,000 in disability benefits because he was too proud to admit he missed something. Even though several other doctors confirmed my diagnosis he was too arrogant. The staff is nice and you can always be seen by someone at any time. But I will never go back there because of his incompetence. A friend of mine passed away because of his male ego. Please stay away from him. He is also an oberprescriber and thinks everyone needs anti depression medication. I referred a couple of my friends and he tried pushing these meds on them too. He probably gets a kickback from the drug companies. You should stay away from this guy. Please!!! I’m giving one star because his staff is very good. Otherwise it would be Zero.

The staff is very pleasant and helpful. You can be seen whenever you need to and they accept walkins. If your doctor is not available you will be seen by one of the others. I went to Dr. Frank Savoretti as well as my parents but Eventually he becomes arrogant and narcissistic. No matter what you tell him or ask him to help you with he ignores you and insists he knows better. My Mother passed away because of this. She saw him multiple times within a few months explaining she was losing weight, extreme fatigue and no appetite. When he dismissed her concerns she returned again and again. Finally she insisted on a blood test which he did. By then her cancer was so advanced that she did not survive. I, myself became very ill with multiple symptoms and problems but instead of ordering tests he insisted I had depression. Kept prescribing me pills. He is a pill pusher and he tried pushing depression medication on my entire family. Once I got a new pcp I had autoimmune disease. Please don’t go!
