Dr. Tonja J Dicamillo, MD

My son and daughter have both seen Dr. Dicamillo. My son had an issue that required a specialist. After each appointment... with the specialist, the specialist would send an update on my son's condition to Dr. D and he would send a copy of that update to me. At my son's follow-up appointment with Dr. D, she proceeded to ask me about my concerns about him like they were new, and asked if I had gone to see the specialist. I find it disheartening that she would not review her files and notes from other doctors before entering a room to see a patient. It was like she didn't know or remember that he had any specific needs.
Also, recently, the office changed their policy to allow more than one accompanying person in the office for a child's visit. On the phone, the woman who notified me of the change mumbled through the policy change, so I heard that my husband and my daughter's siblings would be allowed to come. I showed up 10 minutes early and waited in the waiting room while the receptionist and the doctor had a conversation behind a window. When the receptionist finally opened the window to address me, she informed me that, although my husband would have been allowed to join me and my daughter, my son could not. By the time she told me this, it was time for the appointment. I asked if my husband could come and pick up my son, and she said he would have to be there in 10 minutes. If she had addressed me when I first came in, or if the woman calling to check me in the day prior had been more clear, or if they didn't have some bogus policy wherein a grown man could join us for our appointment, but a small child could not, then my daughter could have easily had her appointment without issue.
How does covid magically become a problem in doctors offices, but not in stores, gymnastics, trampoline parks, etc. I will never return to this office, and I would recommend that any parent avoid patronizing Dr. Dicamillo's office. more details
