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 Caccitolo removed my upper right lung lobe that had cancer in March 2023. Got all the cancer. No further treatment required.

My wife and I visited with Dr. Caccitolo today, (01/06/24). A recent x-ray had shown a mass on my right lung. He was very courteous, asked constructive questions and gave us his opinion and what to expect going forward. Definitely someone I will recommend and look forward to our next visit.Carlton L ClarkHawkins, TX.

Dr. Caccitolo assisted my Neurosurgeon with a very complex cervical spine surgery opening my chest to allow access to my spine. I was immediately very comfortable and confident with Dr C. He gave me all the time I needed to ask questions, he spoke to me and treated me as if I was family. His office staff and surgical assistant are extremely caring, dedicated, and efficient. Everyone seems to go the extra mile. I just can't say enough about Dr. C and his staff.

Dr Caccitolo was very straight forward with my diagnosis. However, he was concerned and caring. I truly felt at peace with his recommendation for lung surgery and had total confidence in him. Surgery was successful and much shorter time in operating room than anticipated. Still recovering - 5 weeks since surgery and doing great! Excellent doctor - highly recommend!
