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 surgeon with great compassion and skill. Thank you Dr. Parascandola.

Top notch surgeon and human! Dr. Parascandola performed a significant hernia repair. He explained every single step to me, contacted my prior surgeon (hernia resulted from prior surgery), and provided superior post-op care. He is empathetic and patient. I work in Healthcare and have never met a more conscientious provider. I recommend him without one reservation.

Dr. Parascandola did a total thyroidectomy on me. I have a family history of thyroid cancer/problems. The doctor and staff were very understanding and empathetic with my situation, along with my personal anxiety about hospitals and doctors in general. I have never had surgery before in my life and hospitals give me cabin fever. My surgery went well and he removed lemon sized growths from my neck. I already feel much better, my head and back of my neck do not hurt as much. Excellent doctor.

Gall Bladder Removal - He was very thorough on the front end to make sure taking the gall bladder out was the best option. Once a decision was made, the process was easy and made me feel confident in the procedure. 2 weeks post op and my results have been about as good as I have heard. I would highly recommend him.
