Dr. Pellerito is awesome! He is unheard of now days. He really takes the time to listen to you. He will never rush you, even though the waiting room is busy. I can call him any given day and he or his lovely staff (Terry) make sure I get in the same day! or at least I don't have to wait months to see him. He talks to you almost like you were a family member, and he will preach you if you are not taking care of youself. He really, really listens. You do have to wait a while to be seen, but it is worth it. I have been a patient of his since the late 90's and will not go see anybody else. Terry you are great as well, so pacient and professional. You two rock!

OK, the waiting room is an old office piled high with ancient magazines. However, Dr Pellarito is a caring knowledable doctor who takes time to listen and follow up.

I have been a pt of his for many years. In that time frame he has diagnosed many medical issues and helped point me in the right direction to fully understanding them. Sure I could go to another doctor who didnt care and spent 5 minutes with me and then sent me on my way....But he is worth the wait!! In my opinion doctors like him are a dying breed and I will always entrust my and my husbands healthcare needs in him!! Thank you Dr Pellerito!!!!

Called his office accepting new patients.When told Medicare says you will have to pay $50 up front prior to visit to make appointment.In my opinion, a businessman first and doctor second.

Takes new patients, but not Medicare patients.Requires $50 advance "up-front" payment for Medicare patients who do not have supplemental insurance.A businessman, not a doctor, in my opinion.
