Dr. Rick D Pasquariello, MD

In the years when we were his patients (he is now a hospitalist) we had excellent care. He always had a concern for our issues, lots of informed advice and care suggestions, and wonderful listening skills. In fact I credit him with saving my life at a key point when I needed to go on blood thinners.

Awesome doctor...you do have to wait a long time so bring a book to read or something, but he's worth the wait in my opinion.

Some of the comments on this site are about CMSA now Mt Nittany. I am not sure on the whole practice but I do have to say that Dr Pasquarillo is the best doctor I have had. The wait may be long to see him but the reason for that is he spends time with each patient to answer every question and concern. I have had lots of health problems and he has taken the time through the last year to help me figure out what is going on. I highly recommend him if he have health concerns...

Office staff are very difficult to deal with. From the receptionists who take personal calls and gossip in front of patients in the waiting room to the Director of the office, the staff are abrupt, distant and almost distainful

Rick Pasquariello has got to be the best doctor I have ever been to. He is an exceptional listener, very thorough, and also has a genuine care for his patients. This doctor saved my life when others ignored the problems I was having. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants quality medical care and who values a good Doctor patient relationship. Honestly, This man is amazing as well as his staff and that is an enormous understatement. If you need a good doctor, he's the best one around.

Dr. Pasqueriello is a good doctor if you can get an appointment with him. After getting an appointment, the medical group cancelled it twice resulting in a 6 month wait for a physical. When I arrived at that appointment, I waited 5 hours to see him-NO KIDDING! They did offer me a PA or a new appointment, but I did not opt for that. Other patients waiting walked out or were sent home. This is definitely a management problem by the group.

uses Physician assistants to make diagnosis. Although he says they consult with him, he can't take the time to see you.
