zocdoc's s/w did not provide the comments/remarks that I indicated on the zocdoc webpage when I made the appointment. For example, the front office did not know that it was a follow-up visit and the doctor did not know that I requested shots for both knees. If she had, the medicine could have been obtained in time for my visit thus saving me one extra visit for the treatment cycle.

Excellent.
The doctor and staff were very nice, and the appointment overall was very thorough; I needed an MRI and an X-ray in addition to my regular visit, I was able to do everything right then and there in the same office.
I FOUND HER EASY TO TALK TO. SHE WAS WILLING TO LISTEN AND DISCUSS OPTIONS IN TERMS YOU CAN UNDERSTAND. DIDN'T RUSH YOU IN AND OUT. I WAS VERY HAPPY.
Verified patient
Dr. Iannotti is an approachable, down to earth physician. I didn't feel flustered or intimidated like I have felt with some other doctors. The cortisone shots kicked in the next day and I felt relief from my pain for the first time in a long time. I feel confident that Dr. Iannotti will listen to my needs regarding a treatment plan and will work with me to find the best possible care plan. I would enthusiastically recommend Dr. Iannotti to others.
Verified patient
Very professional - came recommended by my wife. What I didnt understand/like was after filling out all the paperwork on Zoc Doc - I still had to do it in the office??
Verified patient
Very impressed with my office visit with Dr. Iannotti. I feel she listened to my concerns and questions and addressed them 100%. She explained the course of treatment that she felt was necessary but also made me aware of other options available. She has a wonderful bedside manner and unlike other Doctors, if you have a question or need something explained she does not "talk down" to you or make you feel less than because you don't have the same knowledge that she has. I walked out of the visit feeling more satisfied and happy that I made the appointment than I have with the majority medical providers I have went to lately. The office was clean and neat and I found the staff to be very friendly and efficient. I highly recommend Dr. Iannotti and I will definitely be going back.
Verified patient
Dr. Iannotti is a really good doctor with good problem solving skills. I appreciate the fact that if she does not feel she has an answer to a specific medical issue I'm experiencing, she is honest and will send me for another opinion.
Dr. Iannotti is THE nicest doctor I have ever seen! I felt she listened to and understood my issue and will be there for the long haul. Knowledgeable with great people skills- a rare find.
