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.

Simply the best.
Love her! She takes time with us and is an excellent listener!

Hands down the best Doctor!
I have adopted two special needs children. Doctor Scotterello has educated and listen closely to all my concerns. I don’t know what I would have done without her. She is so insightful and resourceful. She helps my family navigate difficulties. My children love seeing her as well. She always provides books and stickers. My children love’s her book selections. I am very greatly for her professionalism and concern for my children health! Highly recommend her!

“When you hear hoofbeats, don't look for zebras”
The absolute worst physician at the institution/practice. Uncomfortable bedside manner. Not very friendly. When my children were seen by her, she was dismissive, did not listen to my concerns as a parent, and downplayed all of my child's symptoms if they did not fit what she wanted to hear. She would patronize as if I did not understand basic health when it comes to children. I would advise anyone to trust your gut and intuition as a parent (she's got an odd disposition) and consider an alternate pediatrician for your child.

Dr. Scotellaro has been my son’s pediatrician since he was an infant and has only seen her a total of four times, with the last visit being in 2015. He is now seven years old and has seen all different doctors at each appointment and annual visit, even though we request to see Dr. Scotellaro. It is impossible to build a relationship and have the correct diagnosis of symptoms if your child is seen by a different doctor each time they go for a visit.
