Dr. Ernest L Squatrito, DO

I told him I had restrictions a the base of my skull where muscles were cut for surgery from a long time ago and that there was a palpable C1 rotation and I had considerable pain at the left base of my skull. In the initial visit he said he would examine the area ( C1 and C)but he did not, spending the entire visit adjusting my pelvis. He confidently said that I would not need to be seen for several weeks after his treatment. Pains at the base of my skull ( and headaches) did not improve at all and I clearly said so at e second visit. He started working on my feet and said that people heal form the ground up. again did not palpate or address the atlas(C1) in any way. One of his lower neck corrections was very rough and irritated the base of my skull. shortly after i left I began to feel worse . I decided to cancel all visits since he was not paying attention to my feedback and adjusting his treatments. Thought of telling him again that I had left cranial base pain but if he… ignored me twice already why would a third time make any difference? Unfortunately I had to retire earlier than expected fallof 2018. Headaches and upper neck pain too severe to continue working at a computer. This doctor needs to show more flexibilitya nd reassessa patient if they are not responding as predicted, in my case I did not feel this was happening.

Dr Squatrito has treated my entire family as well as extended members of my family. We have all depended on him for a variety of "medical issues." I have nothing but the best to say or write about him. He has been more than accommodating as well as efficient in his treating us. I only wish now, that I lived closer to his office. We relocated and his services are so missed by my husband and I. My adult children and nieces and nephews continue to rely on his services to date!

He can be helpful but he does not know when its time to send you to either a neurosurgeon or whatever. He just wants you to keep coming back even if he can no longer help your injury. I had an MRI that showed bulging discs, spurring, scoliosis, and I tld him I started having EXTREME TINGLING in BOTH LEGS all of a sudden. He did nothing. I told my neurosurgeon and he looked right at me and said, :The nucleous pulpous is leaking onto your spinal cord. I had many annular tears, plus every disc was bulging and I had the worst spurring he has ever seen. I had surgery a month later, I was so bad. The nerve that goes to my left leg was "frayed". It had to be sewn and wrapped so it will grow an inch a month so I get my left foot back again. He said it will take a year for everything to settle down. (my neurosurgeon said this) I would think an osteopath would see scoliosis with their eyes, and know the symptoms that are a RED FLAG like EXTREME TINGLING in both legs.

no staff therefore entire session spent with patient

He actually saved my life. My pain from a 4 level cervical fusion was so intense. I was on a ton of narcotics. Now I am almost off them completely. I could have never done it without him. He is super gifted and talented. There is nobody like him.

Exceptional skill, creative, the best hands with true accuracy. He knows where the pain is before I even speak.

Gifted doctor. Wish he took insurance.

Very good, listens to what is wrong and addresses your concerns

Best of the best! For (10) years I suffered with bursitis in my left hip. I received cortisone injections from a pain clinic for the entire (10) years. I saw Dr Squatrito, and in 5 minutes of "hands on" health, he CURED this ailment. I have not even had a flare-up, and that was done (2) years ago. I came in on crutches and that "herman munster" boot, a podiatrist sent me home in. I asked him if he could take a look at it. I few "pops" later and amazingly enough, I walked out, without the boot or the crutches. A bone in my arch had "fallen" and he popped it back into place! Other offices (IMO) waste so much time ordering all kinds of tests, so they can submit a big fat bill. I was just sent to another office by my primary care doctor. I was there for (2) hours being evaluated and then left in a room for an HOUR, waiting on a doctor that gave me (10) minutes of his time. I left the way I came in. They never touched me the first appointment, and I was told, when they get my… MRI's and blood work, they will "get back to me." Seriously? Dr. Squatrito is no dummy. I told him I had a 4 level cervical fusion and he spends ALL the time on the patient. Its all about making you better in that hour. I would rather see him, then be in an office that takes my insurance, but puts me last! My God, I came in to the "other" office with terrible headaches from the fusion. They could have done something for ME, instead of making it all about a giant BILL. I will never go back to that method. This D.O. is THE BEST DOCTOR, I have ever had in my life. I wish I knew about him sooner. No waiting in a room for an HOUR, he gets right to work and you leave with a smile~

Dr. Squatrito is a physician who really cares about this patients, takes his time with you, and listens. Few Doctors keep up with current technologies these days that involves the entire person physiologically. He is a true mind, body, and soul doctor that helps you leave knowing he actually did something to improve your wellbeing during each and every visit. Dr. S listens to you from the inside out. He has a true gift. A no brainer if your thinking about making an appointment to see him. Just go you will be truly happy you did.
