Dr. Giovanni Catalano, DO

The reviews here are so accurate, I was compelled to join the conversation . Dr Catalono was a disaster. Had nothing to offer but rehearsed lines. Honestly, he barely had anything to say.. didn’t have questions, (my first red flag). He clearly didn’t care. Tried to race the appointment, addressed none of my concerns Nor did he even talk about them with me until 1 min before he wanted to end the appointment. . Let’s be honest.. he’s not here for true healthcare. He is simply collecting patient checks. If he were the last Dr on earth, I’d move to mars. And im serious. Would never visit him again.

I went with my wife for her follow-up visit for a history of migraines. The words that come to mind to describe his care are disinterested, impersonal, pompous, wasting his time, border line rude, and uninformative. If my wife didn't have a list of questions I'm not sure if there would have been any conversation at all. I later called the office to speak with him personally to express my dissatisfaction and his nurse would not let me talk to him and asked to take a message.

We chose Catalano as he was listed w/ RGCC, a comp that analyzes blood samples to determine which treatments, traditional & natural, will be effective for a patient’s cancer. He kept us waiting an hour+ for an early AM appt, no mention/apology, when we were finally summoned into his office. (We arrived 15 min early, paperwork complete). To start he gave a rehearsed “welcome” speech. Next, a sarcastic joke asking us why we were there. Who can blame him, cancer is hysterical. We explained, for the RGCC test. “Yeah we offer that”, he had to dig out a binder to discuss it. What followed was a mix of impatience & aggressiveness. He isn’t a believer in naturally addressing cancer. He did rattle off services they offer (some legit for cancer, others not) including the ability to buy supplements from their “store”. He didn’t comment on the supplements we are taking or suggest anything. He had no knowledge to share but was scrambling to sell us something. Need an RGCC test? Use someone else.

We had tried 2 pediatrics before Dr Catalano. He was great. When we met him we instantly felt a huge relief roll off our shoulders! He’s very informative and helpful. He’s gentle and caring! Very personable too which is important when you trust them with your children! He communicates great! I’d easily give him a 100/10!
