He is the best doctor I have ever had. Imagine a doctor who you actually see and listens to you. Best bed side manner that I have seen. 15 stars!!!!

I’ve been going to Dr. Dinella since 2002. He has not given me an incorrect diagnosis since. He is not prescription happy and will look towards diet/exercise/lifestyle changes before giving a script. He has protected me from the beginning and I respect his medical opinion.

Dr. DiNella is an excellent thorough physician who actually provides the care to his lucky patients. He does not have APN’s or PA’s - he actually sees you when you have an appointment. He actually listens to you and one would.think they were back to the older days when doctors cared. Or they might think they were in an integrated care environment because HE is the person you made an appointment to see and that is who you see. Do you realize how unusual that type 1:1 care is in the 2018 style of care. I hope he remains providing this and does not go to the concierge style of practice. I felt so bad and was hurting yesterday. With my husbamd’s asistance, I was able to ambulate through his office. Natalia came in first and took my blood pressure - and what a gift she is. Extremely warm and friendly yet professional. I want to thank you for being the physician you are and choosing the best people, like Richard in the lab.
