Dr. John Bernard Costello, MD

He's the best!

I have been going to Dr. Costello for many years, most recently last week. He is a great doctor. He knows me and my medical history. He has used that knowledge of my medical history in making decisions about medical treatment which is optimum for me and also recommending to specialists treatment based on his knowledge of my medical history and needs. Dr. Costello's office staff are courteous and helpful, the wait time is usually minimal. I am very satisfied with Dr. Costello.

Dr. Costello's staff is friendly and helpful Rev. James J. Foster

5 stars does not give enough credit to Dr Costello’s expertise. I continue to go to Dr Costello for many reasons. First and foremost he sees his own pt’s and does not have a PA in his office. He himself or one of his staff ALWAYS answers your calls. If they say they will order it, that is exactly what they do. I so appreciate the fact that no one knocks on the door after 15 minutes announcing that your time is up. Dr Costello is an active listener and gently guides the pt in the right direction. I have NEVER left his office frustrated about a health concern or not having ALL of my questions answered. He stays current on the new treatments and medications. I continually benefit from his knowledge base. Before I leave the office the invitation is extended that if I need anything to just call. Thank you Dr Costello!!

One of the worst experiences of my life

I could not ask for better Doctor in all aspects . Pleasure to never have to wait long in the reception area . ???

was there for an annual checkup and did not even write the labs properly. did not do any blood work.

Doesn’t read records are respond to other doctors.

I went to see Dr. Costello because I had a high RA factor and high ANA on my lab studies. He more or less blew it off. I told him my hands were stiff and puffy. He looked at them and asked me to make a fist which I could hardly do. He pointed out that he could still see my knuckles so they were not puffy. I told I had sores on my fingers that would take a long time to heal. He told me to put Chapstick on them. He had a very casual manner. Friendly enough but I didn't quite trust his diagnosis. After two months of still having these symptoms, I went to see another rheumatologist who repeated my blood work, did x-rays of both my feet and hands and a barium swallow. His diagnosis was what I had suspected all along. I had a form of scleroderma, CREST syndrome. It was unsettling to find this out but I'm glad I did so I can move forward in my treatment. Dr. Costello may be okay as an internist but I would not trust him for auto immune disorders.
