Dr. Picco is a great doctor and very efficient and friendly. My only complaint is the office staff. They are horrible at returning calls and I always have to wait at least 30 minutes after my appointment time to get in.

Dr. Picco and I have seen a LOT of each other over the past two years due to my persistent cervical dysplasia and I absolutely adore her (which is a lot to say about someone who has burned your cervix with a hot wire!). Her exams are quick and painless, she's smart and has a great personality, and I have never felt that she doesn't take time answer my questions. I have referred her to several friends, all of whom are equally pleased. Did I mention her exams are quick and painless?

I have mixed feelings about this office, and for this reason am on the hunt for another practice. It's difficult to get through to make appointments, etc, though this appears to have improved substantially in the past year. Back in Nov 2005 getting through by phone was nearly impossible. Dr. Picco is rushed (for those who like bedside efficiency, this may not be an issue for you). Also, I found myself irritated by the hurried and rather superficial "fertility advice" I received (difficulty conceiving), though I did get a referral to a specialist. Overall, not exactly what I'm looking for in a medical experience. I think much of this is the fault of corrupt insurance companies, delaying payments and squeezing costs, which leads doctors to cram in as many patients as possible during the day. I'd pay the visit fee myself, if I were allowed to do so.

Dr Lori Picco gave us wonderful and personal care throughout both pregnancies. My daughter was born last June and son was born 6 days ago. She is helpful, reassuring, caring, enthusiastic, and all around a wonderful doctor and person. I continue to recommend her to anyone who needs an OB.

I found her bedside manner to be absolutely horrible, and she directly contradicted the advice given to me by the dr who had seen me through my entire pregnancy and refused to discuss her advice with me.

DO NOT GO TO DR. PICCO!!! The office is horribly bad at returning phone calls. I had to call 4 times to get lab results. Two people called me and said they'd look for results and call back and never did. I've never been so upset in my life. It's really sad because Dr. Picco used to be great, but the office has gotten too big and there is absolutely no communication and horrible scheduling. The last 3 times I went to the office I waited at least an hour each time.

While Dr. Picco talks quickly, I never felt rushed. In fact, I always ran out of questions before she stopped asking, "Anything else?" She does very gentle exams, and we totally reassuring about both of my totally textbook pregnancies. She was very supportive of my VBAC the second time around, and when I dealt with what I thought might be post-partum depression, recommended a terrific therapist. A wonderful doctor in my opinion.

She's a bit rushed, but helpful and knowledgeable. Come with questions. But if you forget she is very willing to call you to answer more questions -- this is particularly important for prenatal visits

I am very comfortable with Dr. Picco. Her exams are quick and unobtrusive and makes the dreaded yearly exam painless. But like the others I can say I DREAD making an appointment or calling with a question because the staff is awful and down right mean to you and on more than one occasion I have gotten hung up on.

I have found Dr. Picco to be knowledgable and patient. She is very gentle when doing pelvic exams. Overall a good experience. The only downside is that I had to wait like an hour after my appointment time to be seen.
