EXCELLENT Based on 10 reviews Josh Weinstein2024-10-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The absolute best Doctor-- after going to tons of doctors he figured out what was wrong and set up a plan. 11/10! Leah Davis2024-10-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. have been absolutely amazed by the high standard of care I have been receiving from Dr. Scoma. He listens to my experience of my illness and never gaslights me or discounts anything I tell him. He developed a well thought out course of treatment after a deep dive into my symptoms, recommending novel approaches never suggested by any other provider over years of me seeking treatment. He responds fully to every item in every message I send him, and encourages a high degree of communication. He is willing to adjust a course of treatment based on my feedback. He is caring and thorough and creative. Truly, I cannot say enough good things about him. He came highly recommended to me by an acquaintance who told me, “Call him; you’ll thank me later.” She was right. Maria Andreotti2024-10-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Scoma has cared for my elderly parents for years. Were it not for his intervention, they would not have survived being hospitalized with Covid pneumonia in 2020. He is intelligent, compassionate, and devoted to his patients. He's a highly skilled doctor who works tirelessly for the welfare of those for whom he cares. I would highly recommend him. Justyna Tor2024-09-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Scoma has proven himself to be more than en exceptional doctor that I believe is hard to come along these days. I am a nurse and patient advocate and I deal with many physicians and institutions all around NYC and surrounding are to accomplish fair and competent care for my patient but in most cases, it's an uphill battle. With Dr. Scoma, I had the inverse experience. Dr. Scoma took his time to thoroughly digest the complex case and dove deep into plan of care. He continues to go above and beyond to make sure we are moving forward and always available for us with any questions or concerns in between appointments, even constantly coordinating care with other providers. I am taken back on how much compassion Dr. Scoma holds after being in the medical field for decades and the ability to step outside the box to formulate as many treatment options as possible, not just the typical ones. Dr. Scoma keeps moving forward and this drive coupled with compassion is what I believe makes him a rare find. Anson Meadows2024-09-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Scoma is a true medical investigator. Excellent patient relations with real follow through. ~~~ Prior to needing any medical help, I was a military officer and a law enforcement officer. In my early 30s, I was in great shape and very active/athletic. Unfortunately, I developed a very complex neuro-immune, connective-tissue inflammatory disease, that took off after an uncertain infection in 2020 (presumably Covid or Lyme Disease, given my labs). Since that time, I have seen doctors from TN, FL, AL, NC, WV, and now NY. I have been let down and gaslit by more physicians than I can count. My patient advocate did some research and found Dr. Scoma for me. Given my past challenges with doctors and diagnostics, I wasn’t sure what to expect. After our first appointment, I realized I was getting a different calibre physician. Aside from his expert depth of knowledge with infectious disease, he has an impressive understanding in immunology and internal medicine. He thinks critically about all of the data and seeks out the root cause, leaving no stone unturned. Dr. Scoma coordinated with my other physicians and my patient advocate, helped me get admitted into the hospital, assisting in the direction of my care for both important testing and treatments (e.g. IVIG, pulse dose steroids, etc.). Dr. Scoma continues to monitor my case closely and makes himself available, as he represents a kind of integrity and commitment rarely seen anymore in this new medical landscape. I can’t recommend him enough for infectious disease cases and complex cases of suspected immune related cause. Nicole Paisley2024-09-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am blessed to have found Dr. Scoma to treat my Lyme disease. He is quick to respond to any questions and concerns I have no matter what day of the week or hour-- yes a doctor who responds on the weekend!!! He explains my disease in detail and in a manner I can understand. He takes his time with me so that I don't feel as if I'm just a number. I truly wish all doctors had Dr. Scoma's bedside manner! ashlin jones2024-08-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot say enough incredible things about Dr. Scoma. I am chronically ill and have no guidance or help from any drs and unable to leave my home due to this. Dr. Scoma is always readily available for questions, concerns, crisis, or to even calm my fears. He is working diligently with me to get to the bottom of my medical issues. He never disregards or diminishes my symptoms, theories, or concerns. He works on this issue together as a team and keeps me involved in the process. If you have a complicated disease you can't get down to the root cause, and need access to a doctor who is compassionate and cares, Dr. Scoma is who you need to see! I wouldn't be surviving without him! Richard Pashayan2024-06-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I will never forget that Doctor Scoma saved my life with the diagnosis of very rare disorder called H. L. H, thank you, doctor Scoma. Crystal Anderson2024-03-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After years (decades?) of suffering I finally found the help necessary to get the most out of my life. With an awareness of the limitations of testing- Dr. Scoma has the confidence to offer clinical diagnostic methods that others will not. If you or a loved one has a complex health situation- he can improve your wellbeing.
