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.

Outstanding surgeon - took his time to explain the procedure and answer questions. Patty and Ann are friendly, helpful, and comforting. Highly recommend.

Professional
Dr Cifello was professional, compassionate, and informative. He immediately addressed the problem I had. Even called the next day to see how things were going. Nothing but good things to say about him and his practice. A+ Service.

Excellent surgical skills and communication
Dr. Cifello and his team provided excellent care and communication when I needed colorectal surgery. Recovery was smooth and slightly faster than predicted. I highly recommend him.

Highly Recommend Dr. Cifello
I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Cifello and his staff (and Patty in particular). I received a very concerning medical diagnosis. A family member immediately reached out to her contacts in the medical field and Dr. Cifello was recommended to her multiple times. I was able to get an appointment with Dr. Cifello only six days after my diagnosis. He performed major surgery on me four days later. I was discharged from the hospital the next day. My recovery has been incredible thus far. Dr. Cifello was easy to talk to. He took the time to explain, in detail, the procedure he would be performing on me. He also took the time to explain, in detail, what steps would be taken post-operatively, to maximize and improve the recovery process. He also referred me to a very good oncologist, who I am very pleased with thus far. I will be forever thankful for the care I received from Dr. Cifello.

Great Doctor
I consulted with two different surgeons for my diverticulitis surgery. Chose Dr. Cifello, he went over all my previous problems and all my past ct scans and order and order a new one. The new scan also found diverticulitis in a additional area, so it was a good thing I had it done, he also explained the surgery to me and what had to be done before and after my operation. His staff is also very good and always there help. A guy I work with recommended him. His wife and him both had surgery and really like Dr. Cifello and I have to agree.

Cleft Lift
I have had pilonidal disease for years. After many failed attempts from numerous doctors and emergency rooms to remedy this problem I finally found Dr. Cifello. Dr. Cifello talked me through all potential options and we ultimately decided on the Cleft Lift. This procedure provided me the best possible outcome and quickest recovery. Everything went smoothly from the pre op to the operation itself through to the post op follow up. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and outcome.

Great Experience
Dr. Cifello and his Staff were great to work with. Dr. Cifello offered a course of action with surgery that left me feeling great and pain free for the first time in three years. Prior to Dr. Cifello I had seen two different Doctors and had four different surgeries with little to no success. Dr. Cifello got the job done.

Go visit Dr. Cifello! You won’t regret it
I struggled with a fissure for a year before visiting and discussing the surgery. After trying all other alternatives to resolve the issue, I decided to go through with the surgery. Everything from the start with him and his office staff was pleasant and professional. Everything about the procedure was explained to me and I never felt any pressure to make a decision until I was ready. Everything went well during the procedure and literally the next day, I felt no spasms or pain. If you’re struggling with the same issue and have tried every alternative with no success, I highly recommend you schedule a call. Life in fear of the next time you’ll have to use the bathroom is not a pleasant one. I was scared of the idea of a surgery at first since this was my first surgery but looking back, I would have done it sooner. I’m so glad to have my life back and it’s all thanks to Dr. Cifello.

Plan next step in my health
Met with Dr Cifello and discussed my next step from my surgery in December. I need more surgery and was very pleased with my visit/appointment. This was a second opinion and confirmed I need surgery. Dr. Cifello took over an hour and set up with appointment for the follow up on my blood clot and a CT scan to proceed with more surgery. Glad I am in his care

Dr Cifello is an excellent surgeon. He’s very patient and skilled and did his best to make me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Three weeks post-fistulotomy I’ve been cleared, and he said it’s almost completely healed. His office staff is also very friendly and efficient. Highly recommended!

Dr. Cifello seemed to be knowledgeable and temporarily resolved my hemorrhoids with several rubber bad ligations hence the 2 stars. Unfortunately the internal hemorrhoids are back again after 18 months and getting worse again. However his bed side manners were lacking with tendency for sarcasm and condescending tone. This made talking to him to be a chore. Dr. Cifello also down played post surgery pain and recovery time. He provided a quick verbal consult after the 1minute procedure. Would have been great if he provided info and instructions on a handout or website for a procedure he has probably performed hundreds of times instead of leaving patients to find answers on their own. I called his Glen Burnie staff with a simple question I forgot to ask during the consult but never got a reply.

I am giving my testimony because I also like to read reviews before schedule my appoitments. Dr. Cifello can be a very skilled physician/surgeon but I didn't like to talk to him. Actually I hated it! I never felt so annoyed talking to a physician before. I have a Thrombosed hemorrhoids (that's what he said). I went to see him because I had a very hard time 2 weeks ago, my hemorrhoid was killing me. The very first time I noticed that I had hemorrhoids was during my pregnancy. It just started bothering me after I delivered my baby. But after 2.5 years (2 weeks ago) I started having lots of pain that I couldn't even seat but over the counter top medications actually worked fine. Anyways, my husband said I should see a doctor.I found Dr. Cifello passive-agressive. He kept saying annoying things that was not suposed to be said. I just wanted to know how I should address my issue, and if a surgery would be necessary or in-office procedure could solve the issue. I'll never more see him again.

I had a minor but painful and disturbing problem intermittently for a decade. The last several years it became a everyday problem. I tried many diet changes and mild laxative rounds with little success. I went to his office several times before surgery he did not push it and recommended other alternatives first. Knowledgeable, highly competent, trustworthy, pleasant surgeon and team. My only regret is not having the surgery many years sooner. Now I have more time to focus on what's important

I now refer to Dr. Cifello as my hero. I can’t express my gratitude enough to Dr Cifello. He showed how down to earth he is the moment I met him and his professionalism stood out immediately. Very impressive as he recited verbatim a review of my medical and personal history to all the doctors involved in my case. Dr. Cifello removed my cancerous tumor with Da Vinci robotic assistance. He explained everything so throughly that I felt safe in his hands. Thank you Dr Cifello for everything
