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. Pelligra is one of the most educated, patient and understanding doctors I have EVER had. He takes the time to listen carefully to his patients whom he sincerely cares about and does not make you feel rushed out the door for the next appointment. The world needs more doctors like him. Patients FIRST! A+

Wonderful doctor you can trust
Dr. Pelligra is such a wonderful and trustworthy doctor. When my previous doctor retired, I didn't think I would be able to find another doctor I loved as much as my previous doctor....until I met Dr. Pelligra. He always made me feel comfortable and took the time to answer any questions I may have. Will miss seeing him for my annual check-up. So very sad to hear of his retirement.

A gift
Dr Pelligra is a rare gift to any woman seeking Ob Gyn care. Kind, respectful, compassionate and most of all EXPERIENCED. And get this, he is not typing on a computer during your visit with him, instead, eyeball to eyeball he is calmly talking with you. Drawing pictures to clarify your issues, I am a medical professional, worked with many physicians, and none come close to his bedside manner and expertise.Staff is wonderful.

Highly Responsive & Helpful
While in the area for the summer, I had some urgent concerns that prompted me to find an ob-gyn. Luckily, Dr. Pelligra was able to squeeze me in as a new patient. He was very responsive to my concerns and took a holistic view of my health, putting me in touch with other specialists and facilities in the area. I highly recommend him!

I have been with Dr. Pelligra for approx. 25 years. This man is a gentlemen first and foremost. He is kind, gentle, caring, knowledgeable, experienced, and talented, a highly regarded Doctor by many of his peers. Dr. Pelligra takes time with all his patience to explain, answer, and guide you through your issues or concerns. He listens! Dr. Pelligra has taken me through rough times with compassion and competence and through the birth of our miracle with expertise and care. He has continued to care for my all around health with great grace, attentiveness, and expertise. Doctor Pelligra is a gift from God.

Dr. Pelligra is very professional, thorough, courteous and patient. Unfortunately, His Sea Girt staff leave much to be desired. Very rude staff treat clients as they would not appreciate being treated. My referrals for the dr. are always given with that footnote.

I have been with Dr. Pelligra for over 20 years. He is a wonderful, caring physician. I credit him with the successful birth of my son after many complications. Recently I had an annual exam. I was exhibiting non-gynecology symptoms and he spent an hour examining me and discussing the issue. He drew pictures. He solicited feedback. He took the time to address an issue when other physicians. This is who he is. I cannot say enough about this gentleman. God bless this doctor.
