Dr. Marcella Rita Aquino, MD

I can't attest to what happened to the 1st reviewer, but the offices are as clean and well appointed as one would espect, so the whole review sounds false and just meant to smear a reputation.

Dr. Aquino is an outstanding Physician specializing in Allergy and Immunology. She is so knowledgeable and warm. After over a year in and out of doctors she was the only one to figure out my condition and i'm so happy to have found her. I would highly recommend her! Plus her staff is awesome!!

I have MANY food allergies and carry an EPI Pen. It was my first official visit to an allergist. Dr. Aquino sent her fellow in the room to take down my allergies and symptoms. She said she would be back. The fellow re entered the room with trays of about 80 scratch tests when she had explained that there was both blood and scratch testing. I thought it would make more sense to do blood testing first since I have so many food allergies. Dr. Aquino only made an appearance because I didn't want all of that scratch testing and the fellow didn't know what to do. She came in annoyed and testy. We did the blood tests in the dirty, third world looking office. They draw your blood in the hallway with everyone passing by and there were cases of boxes thrown in the "exam room." The fellow called me back with my results, told me I wasn't allergic to much of anything, and said I could bring in a piece of fish to eat in front of her if I wanted an "oral challenge;" no resolution to the throat… closing sensation I experience when eating MANY foods (and which just recently sent me to the ER), no follow up from the dr. herself and ZERO interest in the medical fellow in trying to figure out my issue. (When I was in college, we used to call these types of situations "case studies" and were made to figure a result using the scientific method). This whole experience was a salute to the "great doctoring" in America. What a waste of a referral!
