Absolutely horrible. I went there because I have Hashimoto's and just moved here so I needed a new endocrinologist for thyroid prescription. She did a ton of tests and had me come back, though I received some test results from other doctors in the office. I came back and she said you have Hashimoto's which we will talk about later, a low metabolism, bad adrenal function and high cholesterol. I told her I already know that and that I want to talk to her about diet because of the other health issues I have as well, and am confused with all the different diets I'm being told to do. She never looked up from her computer, said some of my tests weren't paid by my insurance, said go to the diet clinic, and said she can't help me with anything until I lose the weight (about 60lbs need to lose). The diet clinic is Ideal Protein, which I saw in her office and I said I have life-threatening allergies and need to know what's in it. She said to go the orientation (which I will have to take time off my new job even though I probably can't use the stuff) and then handed me a clip board and results, most of which I already had from my last visit and left the room. I finally realized that was the end of my visit and and went to the check out desk. There I was told she wants to redo one of the blood tests (one not covered by insurance, of course) that I just got the results for and did last week and to see her in 3 months. Oh, she never spoke of or prescribed me my needed thyroid medicine which is why I wen there in the first place. Most unpersonable, doctor and lab staff that I have ever met and she obviously just wants to make money and doesn't care for the patient's health since she said the tests revealed the Hasthimoto's and yet, she never even discussed the medicine with me much less looked at me the whole time I was there. I was literally flabbergasted for the first time in my life. Save yourself the money, time and frustration and find an endocrinologist that wants to help you. Your health is too important!

I had a tumor on my adrenal gland that Dr. Scumpia said I could live with...even though I was in constant full body pain. When being seen at Md. Anderson, the doctors thought I was crazy for saying what she had told me....along with the amounts of potassium she had me on.

Worst Dr ever
Claim to my insurance for thyroid which I don't have any problems with it and she never told me about it. Never gave an answers to my problems. Always in a run. Rude and no modals at all, she believe she is a Russian Sargent or something close. Be aware!! You can find better Dr out there

This doctor is rude, comes in at a hundred miles per hour, doesn't explain herself well, tries to order more test, doesn't give you time to ask questions and doesn't give you time to process the info she gives you. I joined my mom for her appointment. The doctor told my mom her thyroid levels were high and she needed to do more test. I asked if we could put her on medicine to try to elevate them. Doctor told me no because her thyroid levels were borderline and if they gave her medicine it could harm her. The last test she did was to determine this. Don't bother with this doctor. We aren't doctors and if we have "silly" questions it's the doctor's job to inform us. This doctor doesn't inform you. We are definitely in the process of changing doctors.

Warning! This is a warning! Do not see this doctor, even if she is the only one left in this planet. This person, if she can be called that way, is a HAZARD to your health. She will scare you to the point that you could have a heart attack. She will make you fear, so you'll helplessly depend on her and gladly accept to have unnecessary lab tests and procedures done. She will rip you off your money and your dignity, and you will still thank her. Until you manage to shake yourself up and react to her dirty and perverse tricks to hurt you. She refused to send the results of a biopsy to my primary care doctor or to give them to me because she has to discuss them with me first on a follow-up appointment. Her staff are just as mean. The receptionist refuses to give them to me if I go there to get them because she has to sign them. Of course, she can't sign them before the follow-up appointment because she is AWAY ON VACATION! What an ordeal I'm going through!

As a primary care physician with 3 specialties, I sincerely DO NOT recommend this physician to any one as she is most interested in running her medical equipment and not the patient. She insulted by patients on more than one occasions. Her credentials appear fancy when written down on paper, however any Jack A@! can accomplish half of what she is listing on her website.

I was surprised to see some of the negative reviews here, but decided to go to Dr. Scumpia anyway based on the experiences of 2 of my co-workers. Both of them were in bad shape before she began treating them, and they both spoke highly of her. Dr. Scumpia was very thorough and empathetic towards me at my initial visit and the follow up. Following my cancer treatments, I have a great appreciation for doctors who will go the extra mile to help you feel better. Both the doctor and her staff were fast, courteous and professional.

Went in for a thyroid issue and she had unrelated tests done not covered by insurance, costing me hundreds of dollars out of pocket. Social skills could use an overhaul. Keeping the patient appraised of the diagnosis, treatment plan and costs would really be a plus. People in her office do not seem very happy and it shows in the way they interact with patients. I will never go back to her. There are other great doctors out there with better manners.

She likes to keep you sick so you'll keep coming back for even more tests (which are performed in her office!) I had a problem she never diagnosed (probably had it for years of seeing her.) when I finally went to a different doctor, the new doctor was shocked that it had not been addressed. The problem caused calcium to be eaten out of my bones and teeth; the eaten calcium was too much for my kidneys, so I had perpetual kidney stones - OUCH! I only needed to add calcium. How easy easy was that!!? I think her staff is bad because she'd be awful to work for.

I would not advise going to Dr. Scumpia. She is out-of-touch, dismissive and also referred me for several un-necessary tests and tried to schedule me for multiple appointments, saying that my blood work looked fine but that she wanted to check "other things". Seeking a second opinion, I went to another endocrinologist who immediately said that my blood work indicated that there was a problem, and he seemed shocked that the blood work and resulting condition had not been commented on (and treated) before! Being that I am trying to conceive, the condition I have could have endangered a fetus. Please avoid!
