Dr. Picco has a tendency to fall off the map. A few days before an appointment, a member of her staff invariablely calls to cancel. When I call, even with urgent problems, they usually fail to answer and do not even call me back. I was told that I might have a health problem and to come back in 3 months, but I was unable to get an appointment or even get a hold of the receptionist during that time. When I've had more urgent problems, I've been unable to get a hold of a doctor, and it's always a 3 month wait to see someone. I have no problem with the doctor herself, but the lack of follow-up makes the quality of care horrible.

The doctor is very good, but the office staff almost makes you decide to go find another doctor.

I have been seeing Dr. Picco for over 2 years and I am impressed with the quality of her care and the overall office. When I have a problem that requires urgent attention, I am able to speak to a nurse and come in the same day. I saw Dr. Safran (another doctor in the practice) once when I came in for an emergency and I was similarly impressed with the quality of his care. There have been some bumps in the road - no office is perfect - but I am overall very happy and would not hesitate to recommend them to a friend.

I've been trying to reach this office for the last 1.5 months because I need an appt, and no one will pick up the phone! I've faxed- no response. I called the prescription refill line- disconnected! The last time I went in, the staff was completely rude, and I had been scheduled for an 8:30 apt. Interesting, since Picco doesn't take apts before 9?? I had to wait over an hour to be seen. The visit was so rushed (under 10 minutes) that I felt like Dr Picco just wanted me gone so she could move to the "next one". Since my prescription has run out, and I can't get an appt in short notice to see another gyno, I've got to go beg county health for a prescription extention. NEVER going back, and will advice all my friends to stay FAR FAR away.

I've been going to Dr. Picco for several years and I think she is great. I have read some of the other comments and I really don't believe there is so much criticism. I have found her to be very caring and supportive, even when I had a problem. I have recommended her to several of my friends and they have been extremely happy as well. One of them had a baby, a little high risk, but Dr. Picco spent extra time with her and everything went great. I really would highly recommend her.

I love Dr. Picco! She seems rushed but when I start to ask questions she slows right down and makes sure I am satisfied with all the answers. This is the kind of exam you WANT to be quick, anyway! Granted I have never had children so I can't say how she is for that, but for general exams and even issues that might pop up, she is thorough. I do have to wait a long time to be seen, but I am comfortable enough at this practice that I don't mind the wait. Dr. Picco makes this annual, uncomfortable experience bearable. Like with any doctor, though, you must do your homework and ask informed questions!!!

This is the worst doctor I have ever been to. Each appointment was like a race to the finish, she refused to call any phone number other than my work number to give me test results (therefore not allowing me to ask questions because I was in the presence of co-workers), and made me feel incredibly uncomfortable on a number of occassions. Additionally, the office is not a hygenic environment and the women working at the front desk are impolite. Just hearing this doctor's name gives me chills.

Went through a miscarriage - she was horrible and unfeeling. It is a shame a doctor in this business can be so cold when managing a patient going through a tragedy. She spent less than 10 seconds speaking to my husband after my D&C and never mentioned I should have a follow up visitation. I felt more like a piece of meat than a person. After going to a specialist later, it was determined that I had an incomplete D&C. Also, the office personnel were less than friendly and acted like they had never dealt with anyone going through a loss before. I would highly recommend choosing another doctor with compassion.

Dr. Picco is wonderful. The office staff is always nice to me, though they do appear to dislike their jobs. I have waited from 5-50 minutes beyond my appointment time to see her, but she is definitely worth the wait. I have PCOS and PMDD, and she's always willing to chat with me or call me if necessary to explain or discuss things until I "get" it. I highly recommend Dr. Picco.
