Excellent staff! Front of office greeting was welcoming and friendly. Dr Dilorio's nurse assistant was very thoughtful and prepared. Dr Emma Dilorio was patient, kind, knowledgeable with my health history and reassured me. It was my 1st visit and I am very impressed with the staff and highly recommend.

I went to see her multiple times over the past 3 years. My symptoms got worse over time to a point where I was struggling with work and everyday tasks. My son did a lot of research and found a doctor who was able to work with me and figure out my illness. Now I am in happier place. DO NOT USE DR. EMMA DILORIO!! IT CAUSED ME THREE YEARS OF PAIN AND AGONY.

Dr. D's bedside manners were by far the worst I have ever experienced. During the first few months of my diagnosis I was very upset and concerned yet she offered no sympathy or any words of hope. At one point she said, "I'm not diagnosing you with cancer!" Very unprofessional. There are other doctors in the ARA practice that are compassionate, sympathetic and caring, unlike her. For your health and for the care you deserve, stay clear!
