Dr. Andrew Craig Dilernia, MD

The best doctor

I have had him as my primary care doctor for as long as he has been a doctor. He is an amazing individual.

No problems, always on time. The only bad thing I have to say is the nutritionist is not that realistic and could be more creative

It was a waste of our precious time and energy. It took our 90-year-old mother seven wasted office-visits to get an antibiotic from Dr. Dilernia. My mom could not get rid of her walking pneumonia with all these antibiotics that are wrong for her condition. Eventually, a partner found the correct antibiotic (when this doctor was away)! I've never seen this kind of incompetence by an experienced internist.

Dr. Dilernia and his staff have the courtesy, manners, and style of a doctor's office from 30 years ago, taking the time to understand you as a human being and diagnosing you accordingly.

Hmmmm. What to say about a doctor who misdiagnosed my entire family as malingerers? First it was my cousin with migrains - Dr. Dilernia waited over a year to give him an MRI and a specialist referal. It was a brain tumor that was caught too late. Myself - depression and pain syndrome then a virus. It turned to be Lyme annd a thousand other things all related to an immune system defect, an inherited metabolic disease, encephalitis (discharged me from Emerson's E.R. over and over again as depressed). No appologies. He lied to his staff to say I was poor, needy, and no illness and has been tampering with my medical records, which is why his office refuses to send out my records. He diliberately does not document visits, phone calls, voicemails, faxes and test results. My brother was misdiagnosed with a concussion from Andrew and Emerson E.R. physicians - he actually had epileptic induced schizophrenia from a traumatic brain injury. He called my mother over-weight, and told her… she just needed to exercise a year before she passed from a fatal genetic illness he wouldn't educate us about or give the children genetic counseling referals. He has no money becuase he settles his lawsuits out of court. Brotherhood of the wolf.
