Don't expect to be coddled. Dr Scumpia is not there to hold your hand and swap stories about the kids. She is there to assess and treat your symptoms/disease. She is professional and knowledgeable. She has techs to get vitals and ask preliminary questions. She has PAs to assess in more detail and to relay her assessment and review of your chart. Dr Scumpia does the initial evaluation and intermittent ones as needed. If you don't ask questions, she doesn't know you have any. She will answer any questions you have in a very matter of fact way. She does not sugar coat anything. I find all of this to be GOOD! I appreciated that she was straight forward in telling me she believed I had cancer.
Pros: Straight forward approach
Cons: 74 miles from my home
