My experience with Dr. C. was wonderful. My grandson had a rare disease and she handled my grandson and family very well. I want to say that in the event that noone had heard of this disease before that time she handled it very well. Its been some time ago since seeing or speaking to her. But I just want to say thank you Doc. Keep up the good work.

My wife and I met with Dr. Cirillo for more of a second opinion on my son. We were driving from 4 hours away so I sent a detail description of what we were experiencing in the hopes that she would read it and be prepared when we came. I was also concerned about the amount of time Dr. Cirillo would spend with us because the previous pediatric neurologist only spent 10 minutes with us and appeared to have a diagnosis prepared before meeting with us. Dr. Cirillo was great. She met with us for approximately one and a half hours answering every question we had. Only after we had no other questions did we leave. I felt if we had more questions she would have answered all of them. She came across as very competent with her observations of my son and was very caring towards him. I'm not sure the specifics of any of the other posts. Our son's condition was very traumatic for my wife and me. We were both glad we chose to drive so far to meet with Dr. Cirillo.

We have had such a great experience with Dr. Cirillo. She has never made us feel rushed. She takes her time and answers any questions we may have. She has been honest and shares her thoughts. Her staff has been phenomenal and promptly returns my calls. They take our concerns seriously and have demonstrated great follow up. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs a pediatric neurologist.

dr. cirillo was great. she spent a lot of time with us, patiently answered all our questions and ordered the diagnostic tests we needed to understand the problem. my son's regular pediatrician also commented on how thorough dr. cirillo's notes were and how nice it was to be kept in the loop. i would definitely recommend her to others who need a pediatric neurologist...
