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.

IGNORED = "nothing surgically I can do for you"
Told Dr. Scogna I thought I had a "mini stroke" or something equivalent 3 - 4 months prior, explained my symptoms / what I experienced regarding the possible "mini stroke" or "brain bleed" & apparently something serious in my brain took place, that I could actually feel this happening in my brain (since I never had anything even remotely similar prior). Told him I since have; acute memory issues, sudden worsened vision issues, & other symptoms never experienced prior. After waiting multiple weeks for appointment the visit was "less than 10 min time spent with me" only to hear a very dismissive "nothing surgically I can do for you"! DID NOT ORDER ANY IMAGING, DID NOT STATE THAT I SHOULD SEE ANOTHER NEUROLOGIST OR REFER TO ANOTHER NEURO AFTER TELLING HIM THESE SYMPTOMS, HAD NO CONCERN OR TOOK ANY ACTION OR SUGGESTIONS WHATSOEVER REGARDING MY HEALTH, NOTHING! Neurosurgeons do surgery but not caring about patients health over $$ for surgery = HIPPOCRATIC OATH VIOLATION! Advise to avoid!

Dr Scogna saved my husband's life 6 years ago after he suffered a traumatic brain injury. It was Memorial Day & Scogna was the neuro surgeon on call. He responded quickly & preformed brain surgery immediately. My husband made a full and complete recovery. If not for the scar on his head you would never know he nearly escaped death & numerous disabilities. Our family is forever grateful that Dr Scogna was there promptly and able to perform the life saving surgery flawlessly!
