I am so grateful that I switched doctors 6 years ago and decided to go to Dr. Oliverio. He's a very caring doctor who is there for his patients. He's helped me tremendously in the last few years dealing with my health issues. He listens to you and gives you the best advice. Does not hesitate to refer you/send you for tests if he is unsure or wants to just make sure. At times, i felt on giving up on many things but after talking to him, he assured that things will be better. I look forward to every visit I have. He knows if there is something wrong with you...you can't keep it from him. I don't care if i'm waiting long in the waiting room. Its worth the wait! Thanks Dr. Oliverio for being there for me. Would not know what to do without him as my GP. The Health system has a fantastic Dr. on their team.
His secretary Karen is a fantastic one. Love talking to her while waiting to be seen.

We were asked to be patients of his and not knowing there was a time limit to call, I called when my husband who is Italian, needed assistance, we were told we had to be put on a waiting list of which we never ever heard back and the receptionists were very rude and even hung up on me. I cannot describe the feeling of helplessness that overcame me as he truly is an incredible doctor and seeing as my husband spoke little English, it was heartbreaking. ; Til this day no one at the office has ever called me back regarding the waiting list. That was over 6 months ago. The receptionist claims she left him a message but then couldn't seem to find the message with my name on it to give me an answer. I was apaulled at the lack of professionalism on the behalf of the receptionists because a doctor such as he, would never have hung up the phone on us and would have at least, spoken to us as he often did when I saw him at the walk-in-clinic. I have never been so utterly humiliated in all of my life by the way the receptionists spoke to me and I had a handwritten letter by him regarding our appointment and future medical advice as well as his number to his office. I now have had to find another doctor and to this day I have no idea if he ever ever received our message. Dr. Oliverio himself is an amazing individual, human being who was going to help my husband and I with fertility issues, well 6 months is a long time to wait and the fact that the receptionists did not seem to care how we knew him, or when and what he had seen us for, sickens me.

He took over my family doctor's office after her retirement. I was on the fence about switching to a different practice but thought I'd meet him once before switching. Best decision I've ever made. He's such an incredible doctor. So approachable, honest and real. He's so sweet and makes you feel comfortable. He's not afraid to talk about personal experiences to make his patients feel more at ease. I look forward to every appointment.

This magnificent human being literally saved my life!!! There is no finer doctor or human being. I was hesitant to trust another doctor because of some past experiences, but Dr. O. has restored my faith in the medical community. I was a complex case but Dr. O. never gave up on me, and because of his knowledge and support, my life is a thousand times better than it was before I met him. I am eternally grateful to Dr. O. for never giving up on me or judging me. If he was not so busy, I would make an appointment just to talk to him. I highly recommend Dr. O., and have already suggested him to my friends. I wish more doctors were so approachable.

Dr. Oliverio has taken over the practice of my family doctor upon her retirement and I was a bit worried about a new doctor. But I am so relieved after meeting him! He told us about himself, he explained things so well to my son, and he immediately ordered tests and referred us to specialists to deal with chronic health problems that have been plaguing me for my entire life. He secured an MRI within a few weeks of my appointment at which I was pleasantly surprised, fearing I was going to have to wait until next year. I felt like he heard me and was basically saying "OK, you've suffered long enough, let's get something done about this" - words someone with chronic illness is so grateful to hear! I feel very fortunate that Dr. Oliverio is our new doctor!

Dr. O was my Doctor since I was a teenager and took on my 3 children. I have not been able to find a Dr. since he closed his practice that I am happy with. He was great with me and my boys and would love to have him as a family Doctor again

Dr. O is an extremely engaging physician. Compassionate, caring and easy to speak with. He is all of the things one should have the right to expect from a doctor in family practice. He listens and he discusses - he does dictate and hold himself superior. As such he has my complete confidence - something difficult to attain with me.
