I agree with most everyone. I was also referred to Dr. Scumpia by family Dr who raved about her being ""extremely knowledgable"" with the warning that she was somewhat rude. I considered myself warned and expected a Dr. House type of person. What I got was worse. My first appt consisted of a lengthy appt with her PA. She seemed friendly enough and sent me to get lab work done. On my 2nd appt to get results, I waited for over an hour for Dr. Scumpia to come in and see me for a whole 5 minutes. The reason for my appts was to find out why I at the age of 38 have the beginning stages of osteoperosis (lack of calcium in my bones) AND kidney stones (made of Calcium) Dr. Scumpia put me on diuretics and sent me on my way. I was so frustrated that a week later I called and spoke to her PA and she encouraged me to see Dr. Scumpia again.... because she said there may be a reason for all of this. Which Dr. Scumpia did NOT even consider!!!! The PA also informed me that my levels of Vitamin B were extremely low and that I should be on prescription strenth Vitamins. Dr. Scumpia never even mentioned this!!! According to Dr. Scumpia I was just to take the meds and come back in 6 months!! Hello???? So now I am trying to decide if I should give her another chance since she does have all test results or just go to another Dr and start all over. I am not expecting someone to coddle me or hold my hand but for goodness sakes at least have some courtesy & decency for your patients!! If anyone actually reads these reviews and takes them into consideration, please review your decision carefully. In my 2 visits, I have gathered that she is just not a very good dr....she may be a genius but if she cant have the decency to spend more than 5 minutes with you and your test result, Is her knowledge even going to do you any good? If you do choose to see her, make sure to have a list of questions that you expect to be answered and allow at least 2-3 hrs for an appt!!! Good luck!!!
Pros: PA staff was knowledgable and helpful
Cons: Dr. Scumpia!!!!
