Don't bother. Rude and doesn't like Medicare.:
He is known by his reputation. I found this reputation to be WRONG. He is rude. And his staff cover up for him. I arrived 30mins before my appointment, because I was new. As advised, because I would have paperwork.
The office wasn't open yet and it was 30 mins before it opened. And it wasn't by a regular staff worker. It was by a person who draws blood. I was in incredible pain in my hips and knees and was referred to him by my doctor. I waited an extra 15 mins before the staff arrived and I was given my forms. There was a lot of information and would have done better to mail it to me. Since I live in the same town and I could have come prepared and would have gotten in earlier.
When I finally saw the doctor, he was grilling me about 'why' I was on disability. Which I understand his need to know if there was another diagnosis, but his mannerism and tone of voice was accusatory and rude. He looked over my blood work and kept shaking his head and seemed confused. It showed I had Sjogrens Disease. An autoimmune disease and the count was high.
He comes over and feels my fingers and elbows and wrists and I'm sitting on the table telling him I'm in a lot of pain, but its in my hips and knees. And all he kept saying was 'I don't understand'.
So he sends me for more blood work and hip x-rays. My transportation shows and he complains and says, 'why would you call your transportation when I haven't finished seeing you.' More accusatory and rude behavior, I was about to tell him where to go, when his staff stepped in and explained it was red cross and they close at noon. So I had to go. I had been there since 9:30 am. He said, take Tylenol. I said I had been 1,500 mg twice a day. He says that's not much take more if you need it. I can't prescribe you anything. Yeah, but it's my liver and I don't want to damage it.
A few days later my primary gets his results. I have arthritis and that's all he put down. Since it didn't show any Rheumatoid Arthritis indicators. But these are two things I knew BEFORE I went into the appointment.
So he charges $385 for a doctors visit. He doesn't like taking Medicare and pretty much just dismissed me, because I didn't have Rheumatoid Arthritis. There are types of RA that don't show up on the standard tests. I have Sjogrens Disease which is an autoimmune disease, and I was unaware that Rheumatoid Arthritis doctors treat different types of autoimmune diseases. Dr. Cannarozzi didn't even bother to refer me to a colleague who could offer me help.
I spent time on forums and doing searches until I finally found someone to help with the incredible pain I am/was feeling. MY advice, Don't believe the hype. He may have been on top of his field years ago, but he needs to retire and take some sensitivity courses. He is rude and charges too much money for the below par care he provides. I wouldn't refer ANYONE to him. No stars. But you have to give him one to post.
