After an appointment with my family doctor back in June and he wanted bloodwork done, I received a…read morephone call from his nurse telling me he reviewed my results and wanted me to call Dr. Charles DelGiorno immediately to schedule an emergency appointment. She gave me the number and specified only to schedule to see him, not anyone else they may say is the soonest.
(If you've read my other reviews, you'll see my review of my family Dr and had been with him forever, no matter which office location he worked at and when he says jump, I say how high, lol.)
So, I called the number and got this long automatic introduction (apparently their office had just been located to this new location so it was an explanation recording before you push the number you need).
Anyway, the girl that answered was super duper friendly and automatically tells you her name is Nicole.
I love that. That's usually the first thing I ask bc I want to know who I'm talking to to before every conversation in case they decide to get rude, lol. I'm just that way.
So, I told her exactly what my dr's nurse said and as soon as she put my name & dob, she was able to see all my information on her computer and confirm it. I didn't have to do anything! No getting fifty million questions, no getting my insurance card out, even though I'm a new patient, I mean this was so easy!!!
Then she says ok, Can you come in the day after tomorrow? I'm like, REALLY??? WHOA!!!!
I was completely ready to hear the conversation to go totally differently: like you get "well, the soonest we have is.......yaddah yaddah yaddah". NOPE!! Didn't happen!
Now, let me tell you about how thorough Dr DelGiorno was (is bc I'm still seeing him & will continue to!). He spent an hour with me! Very personable, listened to me even when I ranted on, lol. (I'm Italian, I talk a lot, fast & with my hands).
Again, he listened, answered all my questions, sent prescriptions over electronically, walked me out to the desk where I met Nicole in person (she's amazing) & had her give me a kit to check my blood sugar at home. She set it all up for me and showed me step by step how to use it & Doc said, see you in 6 weeks unless you have any problems before that, call & Nicole will get you in.
Hello?!!! Now this is why my family dr specifically sent me to him. He knows I like old school doctors who treat you like their own and not the ones who are in & out after making you wait and don't care.
I'm telling you, if you need an endocrinologist, go see Dr DelGiorno!!!
5 stars all the way!!!!!
