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.

The man turn me away for surgery that I need for 8.5 years due to me turning him in for his poor bedside manners and disregard for hospital protocol.

Dr. Cataldo is patient, kind, honest and has a wonderful bedside manner. He is conservative, yet swift in making a recommendation, be it surgery or not. Many surgeons have a reputation of “cutting to cure”, but Dr. Cataldo takes a holistic approach, and considers all options, while putting himself in the shoes of his patients. All of my office visits with him have been positive, and a recent procedure was done precisely and in a timely fashion before things got worse. The best, hands down!

Dr Cataldo is a superb physician. He removed a difficult large polyp that another doctor had said was impossible to remove endoscopically. He also presented my options clearly, honestly, and without any personal ego--he was ready to refer me to Boston if he hadn't been able to do the procedure. You can't do better.

Dr. Cataldo has been my Gastro dr. since 2003. I was diagnosed by my PC Physician with full blown UC and extremely sick-Rescue Squad transport directly from MMH-Massena- to FAHC-Burlington. Right from my 1st encounter with Dr. Cataldo, I knew I was in the best capable hands. He made me feel so comfortable-even though I was in a pretty bad way-he was very professional, but very compassionate, spoke in terms I could understand, great since of humor, and awesome bedside manner. The best there is!
