We always feel well cared for and heard by dr.fiallo
She cares, is thorough, explains everything about my daughter's condition well, and is lovely!!! It's always a pleasant visit.
Great staff
Well, everything has seemed very good to me, and they have resolved our concerns and questions. In general, all good, and we appreciate the attention. Thanks.
While we have had a wonderful experience with our practitioners the past decade for our daughter's unique medical needs, this last appointment with Dr. Fiallo was very disappointing. Her bedside manner while delivering her confusion over my daughter's prognosis was infuriating. It's ok to not have the answers, but to repeatedly say (well over 5 times) that this just doesn't make sense and shouldn't be happening in front of my 10 year old isn't what I expect from a professional. We also had a medical student, resident, and fellow in the room with us, which is absolutely ok, but I'm guessing they were also off put by Dr. Fiallo's response. I may be reaching out for a new endocrinologist, but I'm unsure if there is one who has experience with my daughter's unique condition.
