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.

THE Primary Physician
The doctor is personable, thorough, able to explain the most complex medical issues in the layman’s language, and he listens to his patient. Every primary physician should try to emulate Dr. Notaro!

The best attributes of a primary care physician
The medical profession needs more Dr. Notaros: knowledgeable, thorough, thouhhful, and patient. He listens , shares his insight, and recommends a path forward, including, perhaps, soliciting input from others. He instills confidence in his patients and inspires his team and colleagues at BMG to match his exceptional level of patient care.

What is review title???
It was pretty good. Not rushed. Comprehensive. I just was disappointed that there was no discussion or questions by him about what i was doing (or not doing) to remain as healthy as possible. Nothing asking if i exercised and how, what i ate, why i had gained a few pounds and what to do to turn that around. Those discussion points are the most important things a doctor should communicate with their patient. In my opinion.

I highly recommend Dr. Notaro.,
Dr. Notaro always takes the time to answer all my questions, and explain diagnosis when needed. I am never rushed in and out. He always carefully goes over all lab work and test results making sure I understand everything presented. He is honest, professional, and the most considerate, doctor I have ever had.

Dr Notaro is kind, caring, thorough, and knowledgeable. He also responds when needed outside typical office hours. He’s a gem! While some may comment about the wait, I’d much rather have all those qualities in my doctor as opposed to someone who rushes through appointments.

Dr. Notaro is highly experienced at diagnosing complex medical issues and navigating you through the vast, top-ranked medical specialists at BMG. That’s critical. He is an expert problem solver compiling data from multiple sources and his judgment is impeccable. He provides a specific action plan and roadmap for a long healthy life and is responsive 24/7 (but please let’s not burn out our Drs!) for medical questions and concerns. For example, several years ago while in India he responded to and directed my husband on a medical issue (within an hour.) Dr. Notaro is trusted and respected by his peers and his patients. He is also an educator, teaching as he communicates and works with a team to get you the right diagnosis and to provide the next steps/treatment. He is one of the best and we are grateful for his expertise.
