Dr. James Francis Nigro, MD

Had an appointment for our son a few weeks ago for what appeared to be eczema. We received a prescription for some cream and everything cleared up nicely. Twelve days later we received a call saying he tested positive for staph and needed a 10 day course of antibiotics. This is the start of my negative review. If there were a serious infection why were we only contacted nearly 2 weeks later. As his skin cleared up and he was showing no signs if illness I called back the next day asking if he actually needed antibiotics as they wreak havoc on a toddler. I was told we could come back in for a follow up appointment which was scheduled for yet another week later. At the follow up appointment we were told only to keep using moisturizer, put steroid cream on if he has another breakout, and call them if he has an open wound so they could test for staph again since "half of us have staph on our skin all the time". WHY did I just spend my afternoon and a co-pay for something that… should have been advised over the phone weeks ago? I feel like I have had money stolen from my pocket and time from my life. They took advantage of me as a parent scared for our child and I recommend everyone look elsewhere for ethical medical care. This is not a practice abiding by their oaths as medical practitioners.
