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.

Highly Recommend Excellent Doctor
Dr. Vaccari is by far the best Primary Doctor (Internal Medicine) I’ve ever had. She is extremely professional, very thorough and so caring. Her bed side manner is so kind, caring and informative. I always feel like I get the best care from her and she always makes me at ease as I’m a nervous patient. I feel so lucky to have found her years ago and I highly recommend her.

I made multiple requests for recommendations (for a therapist), that went unanswered, I asked where I could look for recommendation. Dr. said , did not know anyone. Dr recommended I look at internet. I asked again . Dr. said 'Scripps isnt very good at this. ..find names to submit to her for review.' I submitted names. Dr. said did not know them. No help with this. Really disappointed because she is my PCP and I need a doctor who can be a good partner. Too busy or just doesn't care.

The best doctor!
Dr. Vaccari has been my doctor for over 8 years now. Unfortunately I had many medical issues and she has been able to run the correct tests, has always been accurate with the diagnosis. She is empathetic, professional and has done an amazing job at training her staff and PA’s that work with her. I have worked in the medical field for 20+ years and refuse to see any of the providers I worked with I rather drive an hour in a half to see her. She is an outstanding doctor.

Dr Vaccari mis-diagnosed me 5 years ago. So I changed changed doctors and urged my husband to do the same. Recently she mis-diagnosed him and nearly cost him his life. He has now left her too!

She did not read my chart at all! She comes off as friendly but dismissed my concerns and does not pay attention to important details to the point where it truly impacts her ability to properly treat a patient. I saw a specialist later and they were shocked that she had completely dismissed these concerns!

I absolutely love dr. Vaccari. She is very attentive, and listens carefully to my needs. She has absolutely helped me turn my health around, with my complications of diabetes. I trust her judgment and her decisions because she speaks about it with me in detail to help me understand where we should be in reference to my diabetic issues. She will be my doctor for the rest of my life, and that in itself should say a lot about her. The staff there are very friendly and extremely helpful.

I have seen this Doctor once. My mother has seen her for about a year. This Doctor and her staff are horrible. They don’t return calls. They don’t fill medications in a timely manner. She also spoke to me about going off a medication and then would not prescribe and left me cold without a prescription. My 86 year old mother is also under her care. I do not and would not ever recommend this Doctor or their staff.

I did an annual physical exam with Dr. Vaccari. The doctor herself is very nice, however, she recommended me to some lab tests which per her search should be covered by my insurance. Later, the hospital billed me for the additional lab tests and claimed that they are not covered by the insurance. And I tried to contact the billing department to argue about the unexpected billing. Their attitude was very mean and had no patience. I will never ever visit this doctor again!

Dr. Vaccari is one time, efficient, warm, understanding and really listens to her patients! This was my first visit to Scripps and everyone made me feel like a VIP, even though I am just a normal everyday person! Great job Dr. Vaccari and Scripps!

Scheduling was very easy and quick. She listened to my concerns and was very through. She was very informative and addressed every concern and explained her thoughts and future concerns and procedures. I highly recommend Dr. vaccari to anyone looking for a primary care physician.
