The first time I saw Dr. Scarpinato he was terrific BUT he changed. I took my wife who was referred to him by her doctor and to my surprise a different doctor he had become. He was rude, arrogant and down right mean! He said there were three things you do not need. You don't need surgery, you don't need a biopsy and you don't need ME! Well she did need these things and they were done by a different doctor because she was very ill. I wish there was some way I could see him face to face and tell him what I think. I must only think he has personal problems he is bringing to work. I and my wife will NEVER see him again and we will not refer him to anyone. MIKE

Dr. Scarpinato removed my appendix in 2009 and he is by far one of the best sugeons I have ever been to. I am to have my gallbladder removed and I trust no one else but, Dr. Scarpinato t do it.

DR. scarpinato performed surgery on my arm at ST. Vincent's Hospital back in the 1990's. I had a large tumor and he removed it and there was never a scar. I felt completely at ease with this wonderful doctor. New York's loss is Ohio's gain.
