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.

Billed $2466.72 when doctor did not treat me.
I never saw Dr. Scarantino but I was billed $2466.72 for being treated by him. A female NP treated me. I went for a pap smear. No complaints. No concerns. But I was charged for tests I did not require since I am not sexually active for 18 years. This was my only visit ever with this group but I was billed for a 'previous visit' code 99386 and as a 'new patient' code 99203! Do not seek medical care at the Mayer J Saad MDPC DBA Womens Health Pavilion.

Dr. Scarantino was my OB doctor while I was pregnant with my second son. I saw him a total of one time during my entire pregnancy. I saw PAs and NPs from his office every visit. The one time that he did see me, he seemed to be irritated and in a hurry. I was very uncomfortable dealing with him. In addition, I voiced to his office that I was in a lot of pain and discomfort during the last few weeks of my pregnancy. Ultrasounds done at the office said repeatedly that my son was 8 lbs at 38-40 weeks. I was dilated 4.5cm at 37 weeks and they would not induce me or put me out of work even though I could barely walk. I even had to go into the hospital due to how much discomfort and pain I was in. While I was at the hospital, the hospital physician called Dr. Scaratino to ask if they could induce me because I was actively contracting but not dilating further. He told them that he does not give permission to induce me and i carried for 3 more weeks after that....TBC

Unhappy Patient – Feb 17, 2022
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Scarantino?
I have been a patient of Dr Scarantino for over 12 years. He delivered all of my children and was always available to return a call whenever I had a question during any of my pregnancies. Now that I have been seeing him as a Gyn patient, he has continued to show me that he has a great bedside manner. Sure, appointments may take flexibility and waiting room time might be long, but once I am called for my appointment, Dr Scarantino is attentive, sensitive, and professional. He listens to concerns and gives clear explanations. The care is excellent. Highly recommended.

While my experience with The Women's Pavilion was decent, my experience with Dr. Scarrantio differs. This was my first time giving birth, and he was awful. As I was trying to push my baby (who was facing head up which makes it harder for baby to come out) he gives me what he probably thinks is a pep talk. He goes "I'm here to deliver the baby, but you have to do the work" listen buddy, what the heck do you think I'm trying to do? I'm in pain, sweating, uncomfortable, and trying my best to push my baby out. This doctor is horrible and not patient. He was trying to rush me. My baby is over a year old now and I will NEVER forget how you made me feel. Inadequate and you basically shamed me. You suck!
