Dr. Salvatore Girardi, MD

Agree, not very helpful. But extremely arrogant. Asked me if I’m Yankees fan bc his name is after a Yankee. When it comes down to actual patient care he is really lacking the skills needed. I’ve been home a week after a stroke and still do not have Therapy set up, furthermore, he won’t send the scripts required for outpatient therapy that I had to find on my own. So, he’d rather I have nothing than the initial in home therapy he prescribed?! Does that make sense??

I cannot help but agree with the other review. Despite recommendations from the entire care team for me to have PT, he denied the care team's request for me to get acute physical therapy after a stroke. He even said 'well, you can walk, can't you?' Completely ignoring how much how impt care after a stroke is needed and how much I would benefit from it. Told me I could go home or to a nursing home. My recovery is now much slower and painful than needed thanks to his arrogance.

I have seen dozens of doctors in my life. I have never been more disgusted with a doctor. Rude, arrogant, dismissive, and impatient - he does not seem to enjoy what he does and can be heard complaining to his admin while you are in the waiting room. Very little eye contact. Bus drivers have more courtesy. I have a rare brain malformation and I had information to communicate to him from my neurologist and he said he "did not care". Stay away, a complete waste of time and I left feeling worse.
