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.

I have only seen him once BUT he was great. Listened to my concerns. Was on time to appointment. His staff is also friendly and are more than willing to fill out my PFML/FMLA paperwork.

Dr. Calcamuggio is an excellent doctor. I appreciate that he discussed with me what he thought was the best plan which I agreed with. He is a good listener.

One of the worst doctors I’ve had
This self proclaimed “endometriosis specialist” failed to keep his word about sending tissue to pathology, told me that “if” I have endometriosis, “it’s dead endometriosis because it is white” when that is not at ALL how endometriosis works and white is a very common manifestation. He removed cysts and adhesions, found clear evidence of white endometriosis that he refused to biopsy, the whole point of the surgery, spread endometriosis cells to VERY unpleasant places, and then made a weirdly long show of praising my lack of body fat saying “I have never been able to see the ureters so clearly, I mean, wow, there was just no body fat there. I could see clear as day.” Despite the TOP DIAGNOSIS in my chart being an eating disorder. I am not the only person I know left unsatisfied and uncomfortable with the “care” this provider is giving. Having him do my surgery was the worst choice of my life. Couldn’t even be bothered to take two seconds to line the wound up properly before gluing it.

Dr. Calcamuggio is thorough.
I found Dr. Calcamuggio to be candid, knowledgeable and thorough. I got a personal call from him after my visit today with another health option we didn’t discuss at the visit. I really appreciated him reaching out. I also liked how he explained procedures in clear and understandable terms.

I would not recommend Dr. Cal to any of my friends or family because he showed no compassion towards me as his patient. He recently performed my hysterectomy which was an outpatient procedure on Dec 7, I was very ill afterwards and stayed for 12 hours instead of the 5. He never once checked on me or called after the procedure. I am on day 6 of my post op and still no call from him or the surgery center. Thank you for leaving me feel abandon.

Dr, Cal and his staff did a wonderful job making me feel comfortable and secure in knowing that the decisions regarding my health were the right ones for me. I feel that I can trust him in having the knowledge to perform the procedures needed for me. I would totally recommend Dr. Calcamuggio for your OB/GYN needs.
