Dr. Peter Christiano, MD

Very rude had to get physical with this Dr because it was required for a job but because I didn't have health insurance at the time I got stuck with him. Definitely wouldn't recommend if you have bad anxiety he will make it worse.

I’ve been seeing Dr Christiano for many years.He is always personable and professional. I feel he listens to my concerns and have no complaints about him or his staff whatsoever!

Dr. Christiano speaks over you. Therefore, he is not able to truly listen to your concern. He is condescending. If you try to reiterate your reason for being there he has one hand on the door while voicing a quick, demeaning response that is meant to be his solution. Stay away from this doctor and certainly don't send anyone you care about his way. I understand the pandemic has been stressful but his lack of compassion goes beyond someone that is spent or in need of a vacation. That being said, there are many other wonderful physicians at CNY Family Care.

Dr Christiano wrongly diagnosed a dear friend of mine with dementia. We requested a referral to a specialist, which he reluctantly granted, telling us he didn’t see much point in it. After an MRI by a gerontologist, it was discovered that my friend had had strokes which was what caused her memory loss.

He needs to retire. Doesn't show any interest in a patient's problems or concerns, doesn't seem to care and overtalks the patient

When I first went to him for a routine physical, he informed me that I was tested very high in cholesterol, and he would not just give me a pill to cure the situation. He had me stop the high fat foods, and to get a decent diet, and return to him after that. I did and then he did prescribe two statins, brought me back to normal. That was several years ago, and he has virtually saved my life through his skill, and the proper use of modern medicine-----a true Doctor, and life saver. Thanks Doctor!!!

I have been a Pt. Of this practice for years, Dr Christiano is the best Dr ever. He genuinely cares and takes into consideration my life experiences. He always takes the time to chat, I never feel rushed or like he isn't listening to me. His support Staff are all amazing as well!!

My parents currently see this doctor. He has frequently prescribed medicine that specialists have said are not necessary. He has not provided referrals when they have had life threatening conditions. I have been insisting they see another doctor for their health and safety, but as they are older change is difficult. They both say Dr. Christiano is a nice man.
