Dr. Rebecca L Scerpella, MD

We found Dr. Scerpella to be a very poor listener. She reported to me that my mother would be receiving steroid shots to her spine to treat her pain, before she even read the chart or spoke to my mother. There was no need for a shot since there was no pain. Dr. Scerpella spoke with me by phone and interrupted me constantly. She cut me off to reply with what she thought I was going to ask rather than listen to my question. During our phone conversation Dr. Scerpella was in the patient room with my mother and speaking with me on the phone. When Dr. Scerpella questioned my mother about her pain she didn't wait for my mother to finish her sentence. She heard what she wanted and began speaking back to me on the phone. I could hear my mother in the background still answering Dr. Scerpella's question. My mother had her own aggravating experiences with Dr. Scerpella. I would avoid this doctor if at all possible.
