I am a former patient and I can tell you this man is one of the most arrogant people I have ever encountered. His bedside manner is non existent. He failed to diagnose a serious condition while I was a patient of his. I was previously healthy before seeing him. He truly lacks knowledge and brushes off symptoms. He failed to investigate thoroughly what could be wrong with me. When I was waiting in the office to be seen (over 2 hours), I heard a young infant being subjected to a horribly painful procedure. He sounded like he was being tortured and I remember the screams to this day. Horrible that they would do something like that with no anesthesia. I have my suspicions what the procedure is. He used to have many more bad reviews, so I would suspect some were erased.

Dr. Distasio is a great Doctor. He has put us at ease with our Child's diagnosis as well as continued to follow up with her progress. We have not found him to be the least bit arrogant in the last 9 years been to the office!

Dr distasio is truly an amazing pediatrician! What other doctors fail to see or diagnose, he is sure to find it. He is very concerned about all of his patients. We get phone calls to check on my childs status and its comforting to know we are still thought of even after we've walled out of the office. Highly recommended him to anyone with children.

A more perfect combination of ignorance and arrogance you will not easily find.Good credentials but flubs the ball.
