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.

Dr. Distasio and Casandra the MA provided excellent care. Casandra the MA was very caring and formed a personal connection with my family and I during our short encounter. Not only was she very friendly, she also provided very good information and was very knowledgeable about topics discussed. She goes above and beyond!

I want to recognize the both the Medical assistant Cassandra and Dr. Distasio. I came in a little uneasy and immediately I was greeted by Cassandra who was a Ray of sunshine. She was kind and made me feel at ease about having my newborn seen. was absolutely wonderful. I also want to recognize Dr.Distasio. His bed side manner was calming and bright. He was very kind and caring and made sure that through the visit and at the end I understood everything we went over. He listened to every concern I had and went over every single one leaving no room for confusion or questions as he answered every single question I had. This meant a lot to me as a parent. He is a wonderful doctor.

They have a great pharmacy there too! We have gone to Dr. Distasio ever since the kids were adopted from Russia 14 years ago. He is very good and we trust him. The kids like him very much. Very professional, smart and nice.

Dr. Distasio is always my number one pick for my children when they are sick or for their yearly checkup. He takes his time, listens, is very informative and always has a smile on his face. The best part is when I tell my children we have to go see him, they don’t cry and get upset. He always makes them feel comfortable!
