Nicole Zucconi, 3 Elizabeth Avenue, Millville, NJ, 08332
I started going to Dr zucconi four years ago. Because I wasn't sick for three years and I'm not letting the Inspira group she belongs to take care of my hypothyroidism she has refused to treat me as her patient. She has bounced me around to practitioners, residents, and even students. Her Associates are horrible. They don't listen to what you're telling them. I went there in early September because I am experiencing low-grade fevers since the end of August. Needless to say it is now the end of October and I am still suffering from the same low-grade fevers that's Spike up into the 100° point. They bad-mouth doctors who are not in the Inspira Health Network. The last doctor that I saw was David Alderholt. He did nothing but bad mouth my thyroid specialist. Tried to get me to take a prescription of higher Levothyroxine than what my endocrinologist has me on. I reported the behavior to the office and also to my endocrinologist who by the way comes highly recommended and has very high ratings on the internet. Apparently, they're mad at me because of the report so they told my insurance company that a fracture that I acquired during my vacation in August happened in my work instead of my home. I think they did that on purpose to have my insurance bounce out my claim. I had to go through the legal department of Blue Cross and Blue Shield to get the case closed. Thank God I was on a two-week vacation during the time that the incident happened. I would not recommend any doctor that belongs to the Inspira Health Network because apparently they bad-mouth any doctor or specialist that does not belong to their group.

This review is in reference to a United Healthcare virtual visit on July 3, 2022. I'm a 49 year old male who has suffered through anxiety and sleep related issues. To give a little more background I'd previously spoken with 2 other doctors on June 30 and July 2, also through UHC virtual care. But unlike this experience, those two were 5 stars. I originally called because at the time I was going through severe withdrawal symptoms after having to abruptly stop a sleep/anxiety medicine. I had a scheduled appointment with a new primary care physician on July 8 but I had no idea what to expect from the new doctor, plus I needed some immediate relief from the withdrawal symptoms which were making it almost impossible for me to sleep. The first doctor, William Errico, DO was extremely helpful and prescribed a 30 day supply of .1 mg Clonidine to help me. He was friendly and I immediately felt comfortable with him. On July 2, I spoke with Karen Beers, NP. At this point I hadn't noticed much effect from the Clonidine and was looking to gather a little more input on things. She was very patient and helpful and gave me some good suggestions on natural remedies to help with my issue. The 5-HTP she recommended has worked very well for me. By late evening July 2/early July 3 I noticed the Clonidine was starting to have a positive effect. I was still apprehensive about what to expect from the new doctor and I felt that I could possibly gain some more insight from talking to a third doctor and possibly get a refill on the Clonidine since it was beginning to work for me. Plus I had no idea whether a new pcp would even prescribe it. My mistake was getting Lisa Primiani. From the beginning she projected a cold, unfeeling demeanor and I felt uncomfortable with her. The only good thing about the visit was there was no cost because it was fully covered under my insurance. But in this case I got what I paid for. She tended to use the word "unfortunate" a lot but the truly unfortunate thing was this visit. Well, where do I begin? I clearly stated my issue and my concerns and her first response was that I'd already had 3 previous visits with other doctors (it was only 2 - the first visit with Dr. Errico was accidentally disconnected before it had begun). In essence, this made me feel very uncomfortable. Like I'd already called several times already and why was I wasting her time? This isn't what she stated word for word, but it was clearly the impression that I got. To quote a phrase from my 13 year old daughter, it was a "cringe worthy" moment. It got worse from there. At this point I knew I was wasting my time, but I decided to approach the subject of giving me a Clonidine refill. I stated the reasons for this as I did earlier in this review. Her response was basically if I'd taken the whole bottle already then I had a serious problem. These weren't the exact words but they're nearly identical. My initial reaction was complete shock. I honestly don't have words for it. At the time, this comment kind of reminded me of an old lady with a serious case of dementia who will pretty much blurt out the worst possible thing. I was like, no way, she didn't really say that! Also, if I'd actually taken the whole 30 day supply of Clonidine in 3 days then chances are that I probably wouldn't have been having this conversation in the first place. Another truly cringe worthy moment. Unlike the previous 2 doctors, she offered me nothing. Well, actually she did. She offered me an excuse. She stated that her specialty was not "chronic" issues but rather short-term issues or something to that effect. Well, I'll make it a point the next time that I call a telehealth doctor to tell my body not to have a "chronic" issue but a short-term one instead. One word of advice for this doctor, actually 2 words, smile more. A little friendliness goes a long way. I'd love to see the world of telehealth become a kinder place as exemplified by my visits with the first 2 doctors. Every patient out there deserves nothing less.

This doctor being a part of a rehab clinic has massive control issues doesn't listen and makes judgmental comments. There's a quote under his picture on the website saying that he enjoys helping his patients and in reality he just enjoys bossing them around judging them and wreaking havoc over their medications and whether or not they can obtain them. I'm done fighting this heartless quack!!!

Pedigree doesn't matter when a doctor has absolutely no respect for your time or the simple courtesy to keep a scheduled appointment at the agree-upon time. I walked out on this guy after waiting for an hour and a half. Who knows when he would have even bothered to show up? No one at the facility (KOC) bothered to let me know how late he was running and ask if I'd prefer to reschedule; instead they assured me after a half hour that he'd be right with me. After voicing (calmly) my displeasure and leaving, no one bothered to follow-up or apologize, and -- while they're johnny-on-the-spot to ask for reviews after successful appointments -- it's telling that no one bothered to ask for my opinion about this one. If you think I'm nuts, and that waiting on doctors is acceptable behavior, good for you. I, however, am of the opinion that they work for us, and -- just as I was respectful of his time by arriving early -- he should have had the common decency to respect mine.

I wouldn't recommend this Doctor to any one in any circumstances. Very bad interpersonal skills doesn't remember things after surgery was completed and lacking follow through. Quit without a care of the patient health or aftercare.

John Oehler, Lima/Ada, OH
I went in for my fourth visit yesterday for acute wheezing, shortness of breath and a month of bronchitis. Not just a head cold here... I'm healthy otherwise. He asked if I was short of breath. I said it was fine as long as I was sitting down. He brusquely replied, "This work-up is going to be a lot easier if you just answer all my questions yes or no. That will be faster for you and faster for me." Shortly after that, while never looking at me and while typing with two fingers on his laptop, which he does during the entire visit before he even examines you, he muttered, "You might know all this would hit the fan right after the other guy leaves." He replaced a retiring doctor in this practice whom we've seen for years. Bedside manner is abominable. Will be looking for another doctor. Even if he is competent, it was unacceptable. If I treated others that way at my job, I'd be fired. Very arrogant and also criticizes his colleagues when you are forced to go to their urgent care because he wasn't in his office when I called to try to get a third appointment after suffering for a month. Didn't deserve that...
