Dr. Ronald L Schiavone, DO

Dr. Schiavone has been my doctor for approximately 25 years and I am very happy with the care he has given me. Besides being an excellent doctor, he is pleasant and kind.

I HAVE BEEN SEEING DR SCHIAVONE FOR MANY YEARS AND NEVER HAVE I HAD ANY ISSUES WITH HIM. A FEW YEARS BACK I LOST THE MOST WONDERDUL MAN IN MY LIFE. THE VERY NEXT DAY ON A SATURDAY HE CLLED ME AT HOME TO SEE IF I WAS OK AND GIVE ME HIS CONDOLENCES. IN THIS DAY AND AGE THAT IS UNHEARD OF.

Dr. Schiavone is the absolute worst doctor I have ever been to. I rarely need to see a general practitioner, I don’t usually get sick or injured. I’ve been to this office twice before and Dr. Heck seemed nice. I do have an endocrinologist that I see regularly. I thought I slept wrong one night and my shoulder was painful but I wanted to see if it would pass. It got worse, and I was leaving the following week on a trip that required a 5 hour plane ride. I called the office and they told me to go to urgent care. So instead I went to acupuncture to see if that would help. I tried 2 treatments and it didn’t. So I went to urgent care and they told me to go to the Emergency Room since they thought it was a pinched nerve in my neck. At this point the pain was all down my arm as well and my fingers were numb in less than a week. They gave me a shot, a steroid pack, muscle relaxers, tylenol 3 and lidocaine patches to get me through my trip. They also said to follow up with a orthopedic doctor that is was a pinched nerve. I came back and went to make an appointment with a specialist who wanted me to get an MRI first and to get the referral from my GP. I called the office and talked to someone in the referral office who said they would do it. Four days later I hadn’t heard anything so I called back and they were surprised no one had contacted me. The day I requested it they noted that I needed to be seen by the doctor before they could give the referral. So no one called back for 4 days! And now they want to see me after not wanting to initially. (gotta get their cut i suppose). Then they cant see me for a month?! I tell them that’s not acceptable and then ok in a week and a half so I take it. The visit was a disaster, I saw Dr. Schiavone. First thing he wants to know is why they aren’t managing my diabetes and thyroid. Uh, because I go to a specialist? And that’s not why I’m here? I tell him my pain is an 8 and he proceeds to put the cuff on my bad arm! Seriously? He was rude, nasty and unhelpful. I asked what he could do and he said to take the steroids again. Really? You want to manage my diabetes and you want me to take another round of steroids two weeks apart? What an idiot. So he says he’ll submit the referral but they’ll probably deny it but he’ll try. Gee, thanks. So I leave with not much resolution but he asked if I had any more of what the hospital gave me and I said no because it was only to get me through my trip. I look at my visit summary and it says to continue taking the muscle relaxers and tylenol three along with the steroids. So I figure that will help until I get to the ortho. Go to pick up the prescriptions and steroids, thats it. I called the office 3 days in a row and tell them he has it in the visit summary but it wasn't at the drugstore. They told me the doctor hasn’t listened to his messages yet! For 3 days?! Lets not lie please, I’m not stupid. Two more days go by and the MA calls back and says the doctor denies the request. LOL what a jerk. I have never requested pain pills in my life and yet this guy treats you like your a degenerate and he’s the one who wrote it in the summary! After I even told them I went to acupuncture to manage the pain first. I wouldn’t send anyone here they are unprofessional and not very knowledgeable. Oh and of course the MRI was denied, because the doctors report didn’t warrant an MRI. Of course. So over 2 months of pain, and no sleep because of it due to an incompetent doctor. I will be following up with Cooper to tell them what an awful doctor he is.

Dr. Schiavone has been treating me since I was about 17 years old and I have stayed a patient of his for over 25 years. He also treated my father and mother and was so caring when we lost my father to pancreatic cancer. I am continually impressed at how he takes care of my mother physically and emotionally since the loss. He is always there when we need him and his staff is wonderful.

I've had the privilege to be treated by Dr. Schiavonne for the last 30 some years. He is a really good doctor and easy to communicate with. His staff is equally friendly and professional.

Dr Schiavone seems like the consummate "Country Doctor". He makes you feel comfortable right away and that he genuinely cares about you. His staff tries to bring you in for appointments as quickly as possible.
