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.

Developed issues with my right hand, and need to see him asap. Appointment was scheduled soon. After the appointment surgery was needed and less than 2 weeks I was repaired. All in all, this was as perfect as it gets.

Returning patient
As always, Dr. Scarangella was clear, kind and unrushed. He provided me with options for my trigger finger and I welcomed having options. He has taken care of me for over two years, treating me for a rotator cuff surgery, frozen shoulder, and recuperation from a dog mauling. I totally trust him.

I would recommend Dr Scarangella in a heartbeat, h
What I love about my Dr. is that he is not in a hurry each patient is important for him he listens to what I need to say, how in pain I was and he took the time to explain the treatment he was going to put me in, and that that to fix it he woo have to do surgery but not to worry that there was a solution to my problem, I left his office so happy, cause he was so down to earth, very good doctor***

Outstanding!
I am a nurse and after a fall broke my dominant wrist. I did not start out with Dr Scarangella though switched during my workman’s comp case. I do wish I had started out with him and know my course would’ve gone differently. He, his assistant and staff are pleasant, considerate and meet you where you are to formulate the best plan of care available. Would only recommend him to anyone, including my own patients!
