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.

Excellent attention to patient needsGives advice and recommendations to better healthGreat team!

A Physician you can Count On
After a grueling 20 plane trip, I had pains in the back of my knee and feared that I had a blood clot. Dr Gigante immediately got me in for an ultra sound that same day. You definitely count on him to be there for you. His professionalism and dedication to his patients are truly commendable. His prompt action alleviated my worries about my condition. I would highly recommend Dr. Gigante to anyone in the area looking for a compassionate and proactive general practitioner.

Great doctor
Dr. Gigante spent a lot of time with me explaining the treatment plan. He sent follow up emails detailing what we discussed and listing the medications along with their doses. He arranged a referral to a specialist. I’m very happy.

Excellent. Gave me all the time I needed. Never had this happen before in a doctor. Gave me a roadmap for the future and a selection of specialists both near and far! Office staff couldn't be better. SAME DAY APPOINTMENTS! As a new patient this is practically unheard of around the country. Down to earth and relatable. Thank you.

Kudos to Drs. Gigante and Lens for a series of three workshops dealing with the facts of life: financial planning, proper nutrition and exercise, and taking responsibility for our health. The workshops complemented the doctors' concern for patients and a focus on facilitating better health naturally, rather than pharmaceutically. Care and concern outside the examine room ... EXCELLENT!

Dr Gigante is very thorough and caring. He takes his time with you and provides very comprehensive care. He reviews your medications regularly and makes changes as necessary realizing that things change. His concern is also demonstrated by his emails and updates on medical news and drugs. Additionally, it is great to have a doctor that can visit you in the hospital as he did with my husband. The staff is knowlegable, personable, and helpful.
