Dr. Lorraine Catalano, MD

Stay away from this pediatric practice. After taking my kids there for 12 years I had the worst experience today. My child was afraid of getting a finger stick and shot. After screaming in his face to cooperate with a finger stick the medical Assistant told me there was another easier non invasive way but did not originally offer it because they did not know if it was covered by insurance. Then when the doctor came in, dr Lorraine catalano, who was very much aware that my child was not cooperating secondary to fear she also screamed in his face to cooperate. As she was preparing the needle she proceeded to berate him And told him if he moved during the shot it would slice his arm off. Needless to say I walked out requesting my records. I would not recommend this pediatric practice to anyone as they clearly have no idea how to deal with children.
