I don't really know where to start with Dr. G, I've been a patient of his for more than 10 years…read more Obviously a very competent MD, I guess where he stands out the most is that he is a very good listener. To me this translates that he wants as much data about your situation and you personally before he'll recommend what to do. Different people respond to different things. I have had doctors before that are pretty quick to write you a prescription and get you out of their office. This is not the case with Dr. G. I've had 20-30 minute conversations with him about diet, eating out versus cooking at home, sleep, vitamins/supplements, exercise, state of mind / perspective, pretty much everything that effects your health. Since I've been a patient, he has also taken on my brother and my mother (at my recommendation to them). Something that pleasantly surprises me is that for a similar genetic issue my brother and I both have, he treats us differently. It just appeared to me that he took the time to figure out who we were personally and where we are at in life and is treating accordingly. If you trust and defer to your doctor but you are also a strong advocate for your own health then I think he's tops. If you go to the doctor to tell them a few data points and then you want to be off to the pharmacy then he may be good for that too, but I'm not that type of patient so I couldn't comment. My opinion of him is shared by my brother and mom.

I am 75 and consider him the best doctor I have every had. He has always followed up on tests that called for further care. He is involved with all my healthcare whether he is the Dr. or a referral. Dr. Houlahan went above and beyond for me during a broken ankle that required extensive surgery. I had a hard time getting public health services at home with the orthopedic surgeon. Dr Houlahan stepped in and thanks to his intervention I was able to have home care and physical therapy which was a God send. I so appreciate his approach and involvement with my healthcare.

I waited for a short time before they called me back, and the nurse was nice and made small talk while getting my basic info. The doctor took their time to go over my questions and listened pretty well. They didn't rush me and tried to understand what had been bothering me lately. They asked a lot of questions and went over my past visits and history, which I appreciated. They explained what might be going on and gave me a few options that I could think about. I didn't feel pressured in any direction. Everything was pretty straightforward and explained in regular language not just medical terms. The checkout process was smooth too. They printed some things out for me and said I could call if I had more questions later. It wasn't a perfect visit but it felt like they actually cared to help me figure things out. Would go again if needed.

I called to Salvatore Fratianna's clinic, and the clinic approved that he accepts new patients, so…read moreI scheduled an appointment with him. I had to wait for the appointment for MORE THAN A MONTH because I was a new patient. Obviously, I had no choice but to wait, while during the ridiculous waiting time, my medical issues become more severe, which required medical attention. After waiting for weeks, finally, I had my appointment with him, and I explain my urgent medical issues, and his immediate unexplained response was: "you can go to another doctor if you want". I needed medical assistance, but he tried to "get away" from helping, for some unexplained reason. He continued with his sketchy behavior by saying that: "right now, I don't accept any new patients". I also asked for a note for medical leave, but he responded by: "I don't do that". Due to his suspicious behavior, I got the feeling that Salvatore doesn't say the whole truth, and it seems he's trying to hide something. The fact that he agreed to see me, and once he saw me, he almost immediately changed his version to "I don't accept any new patients", is suspicious. To conclude, Salvatore is playing with people's health, and have no problem to accept patients to meet with him, and then just decide that he doesn't want to treat urgent medical problems after they have waited for OVER A MONTH to see him, and just send them away, knowing it will take a very long time for them to get medical attention with a different doctor. After investigating his background even deeper by reading more reviews about him, his inconsistent behavior seems to be a pattern. Salvatore seems to be untrustworthy. I'm not sure how Aetna allow themselves to continue to work with him. It's probably better for everyone to find a good doctor.

My experience with Dr. Frattiani in the four or five visits that I have had are that he runs a…read morelittle behind because he spends as much time as his patients need for their issues instead of rushing them in and out. He is especially good with bio-identical hormones both for men and women. He is one of the few doctors in this area that will do the Wiley Protocol (same hormonal template as you had when you were young--the one that Suzanne Sommers does) and he knows T.S. Wiley personally. He will also do the HCG Diet. Both of these are extremely effective, but also controversial, so he will do them if you ask for them. I like the fact that he is open minded, keeps up on all of the cutting edge therapies and is holistic instead of being of the drug oriented "standard of practice" mind that most doctors are.

First, the caregivers themselves were warm, well-screened, and very patient and loving with our mom and dad -- both of whom had different needs over time. I became very fond of the caregivers, and we got to interview each of them ~ One of the caregivers was with me (and my dad), when my dad passed away. She was so good to me, and him -- I know being there at his passing has affected us both. We have stayed in touch. Second, the office staff were so helpful even on short notice, and with special requests and any changes to schedules. They just worked with me when we had to deal with (a rare) ill or unavailable angel, to get coverage. I do trust the owners, and spoke with them directly about our needs and about individual caregivers. While it was outside my bailiwick, I only wish they provided benefits (such as healthcare) to their workers, and maybe that is something the agency can consider in the future. The owners seem like good people, and caring towards as well as protective of their employees.
