I very pleased with my visit to Dr Scalettar's office, everyone I spoke with at the office was professional and friendly. Dr Scalettar is a very experienced doctor he made me feel at ease, asked good questions and answered the questions I had about my condition. I will follow up with him later this month.

Wonderful bedside manner (calm, thorough, and positive demeanor). Patient's can have blood drawn in-office which is super convenient and offered to act as my primary care doctor which is invaluable to someone like me who already sees multiple doctors for autoimmune related symptoms.
Outstanding session. Friendly and relaxed discussion made it easy to describe my symptoms and relate my health history. On my first visit Dr. Scalettar diagnosed my condition and gave likely causes, to be confirmed by lab tests. He is coordinating with my primary care doc for more technical info on past issues and to share what he has found. He wouldn't let the session end until all my questions were answered. It was a pleasure and I look forward to the follow-up. Never had a doc be so considerate about my needs and concerns, including spending more than half an hour with me.
Verified patient

It was great. I had to wait a while to be seen, but I was late because of a bus situation, so I was happy that they saw me at all. He was very professional. He put my fears to rest while doing everything he could do to find out what was causing me problems.
very very good
He was very honest, I had to wait because of the horrible weather, I got there early since I did not know exactly where to park. No problem. He recommended I go to an Ortpedic Doc since my cyst was synovium and not due to Arthritis.
