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.

Thorough, kind, and able to explain results.
Firstly, disregard the ‘bad’ reviews on here. Those patients clearly are the ‘Karen’s’ who wouldn’t be happy with any physician. I am very meticulous in choosing a doctor and when I came to choose Dr Italiano it wasn’t from lack of research. As many have relayed on here as well as other sites; he is a true professional who has great bedside manner and is able to go over results, treatment options, and asks the right questions in a way that anyone can understand and feel like it is a team effort to solve medical issues and concerns. You will thank me later if he is able to take you as a new patient!

I appreciate Dr. Italiano's care and knowledge. He is always willing to spend the time to explain my options for any issue that I have. It's nice to have a physician who is engaged in your care. And nice new(er) office too!

I’ve been very happy with Dr. Italiano. I expected to see really good reviews since I can recommend him to anyone based on the treatment I received from him. He’s treated me for a variety of things over the past year. I’ve den in this area one year and have had a number of health issues. I never have trouble getting into him and he is very knowledgeable about a variety of health issues. He is respectful and thorough and takes time to ask explain things. I’ve never had a long wait.

Very nice person, but my visits are brief, and he's not very thorough. Goes through the basic checks but never finds the cause of my ailments. Strongly considering changing doctors.

I had 3 days of a sleeping medication left that I have been taking every night for three years. I called several days ago for a refill and instead of returning my calls, I had to call the office 3 different times today just to be told he will no longer refill my medicine, stating that I need to get my sleeping medicine from a psychiatrist. This would have been nice to know before I ran out of the medicine and now I am not able to get in to see a doctor for 3 weeks. Thank you for nothing Doc.
