I found him to be a caring wonderful person and doctor. He always gave me as much time as I needed. He was never in a hurry. I referred him to several people who were also very happy with him. I reluctently had to choose another doctor when he left the group to pursue other interests.

I was very satisfied with his way of treating a patient. He explained everything to me with much patience. I am though concerned about the written blog about him and the charges that were brought against him. I am hoping that they were not true, since I like him as a doctor. I will be going back to him again. A very pleasant man.

I AM NO LONGER GOING TO BE A PATIENT OF DR. VACCARINO'S SINCE I'VE NOW BEEN HUNG UP ON BY 2 DIFFERENT PEOPLE IN HIS OFFICE (I went through this 5 months ago with the same staff: Doreen...the RUDEST OF THEM all, and Regina...to the point I went TO the office and would not leave until I spoke with Dr. V and he assured me he would speak to them and it wouldn't happen again). The last one who just hung up on me refused to give her name, but said she is pregnant and didn't need this stress then hung up...what stress? I had called back to find out who the first person was who hung up on me (even though I knew it was Doreen, since I know her voice) and no one would tell me who it was, they just left the phone on hold. I am now writing a certified letter AGAIN asking for all my records...totally unprofessional and RUDE staff, which must be the reason the doc has already downsized from 2 to 1 office...i'm sure he is losing patients left and right.
