I've been seeing Dr. Tufaro for several years mostly for annual physical exams. She is always engaged, thorough, and listens well. Couldn't ask for more.
September 18, 2024John L.Verified patient
I used to love Dr. Tufaro. The last appointment I had with her she was very upset I hadn’t lost more weight as I’m on a weight loss injection. I understand where she was coming from but she came off very disciplinary and frustrated. It could’ve been delivered in a different manner, especially since I hadn’t even been able to fill my prescription to loose weight do to supply chain issues.
She’s a good doctor overall but don’t go to her for GLP-1 medication management.
