Office staff helped out with self paying patients. It's not easy to find an office willing to help out with healthcare costs

Doctor and staff We're very professional and friendly. I was seen immediately at my appointment time was brought into an exam room and within minutes I was seen by the doctor. She was very thorough address and treated my complaint. Quick confident service and I was on my way. Highly recommend
March 9, 2017Edward O.Verified patient
Very professional.
Many dermatologists today are more interested in selling cosmetic products than medical treatment. Dr. Ciocca listens to the patient, explains what she finds and spends the time required with the patient. Staff are polite, efficient and professional.
Highly recommended.
October 25, 2016Thomas T.Verified patient
Visited Dr. Ciocca for the first time. The staffed was very attentive and professional. Wait time was minimal, i probably waited 15 min before being seen. Dr. Ciocca was lovely, she took her time and didn't mind explaining all the medical terms. I would definitely be going back again. Highly recommended and she sees kids!

September 19, 2016Kevin W.Verified patient
It was a very bad experience because when I get into the system and saw your add, the first thing I did was calling to your office to see if you accepted amerigroup insurance, the rep said yes then I attended to my appointment and the rep said you not take that insurance. I wasted my time since I asked for this appointment. I should have enough time to find the doctor who accept the insurance my daughter has.

April 2, 2015Cynthia G.Verified patient
Excellent Service, no wonder this Doctor's office is so busy.
I like the fact that the Doctor explained the condition and treatment in detail. The procedures are affordable.
The factor that I would suggest to improve is their wait time, the wait times are painfully long. Extending their office hours at least on alternative weekends will be very helpful.
The office staffs were cute and friendly.

The staff, especially the girl who helped out in the examination room, we're all very nice. The doctor herself, however, was quick, to the point, and a little rude. I left feeling uncared for and like just another number.
