2026-02-27
-
It's hard to know how to assess this visit. If Dr. Massarotti's hypothesis about what's causing my problem is correct, then I would give the visit a 9 out of 10. But it will take time to know that. So she might be right (which is the most important thing), but she provided very little explanation. I had to go home and look everything up on my own.
2026-02-27
-
Dr Massarotti and staff immediately made me feel welcome and provided excellent care and listened to my concerns.
2026-02-22

It was good over all.
2026-02-23

I have been dealing with this possible diagnosis for 10 years and was coming from a facility that I felt as thought my concerns were not being heard. Dr. Massarotti heard my concerns and questions and assured me of my care. She went as far as to go in depth about my blood work and broke it down in terms I could understand. Getting a second opinion relieved my worries and made me feel better about my diagnosis.

She graciously took her time with me. I struggled with the 'zoom' meeting. Dr. Massarotti persevered three times ultimately to make it work. She was amazing and so calm with a listening ear. When the storm was forecast and my in person visit was cancelled I was saddened after having waited so long. It all turned out beautifully.

I was very pleased with my first visit with Dr. Massarotti. I felt that she was extremely professional, very knowledgeable, and I was mostly pleased that she didn't just want to write lupus down as some of my other doctors have for a diagnosis because she didn't want me to have any of my doctors going forward, just looking at that diagnosis and not looking more into my symptoms. I hope that makes sense. I was very pleased with her and I appreciate all the time that she spent with me.

I did see Dr. Massarotti. I thought that she was pretty thorough. I do not think that she listened to me that much. I think she tried. I feel like at some point it was a little rushed, but I think she's pretty thorough enough. [redacted]
2026-01-15
-
Dr Massarotti is fabulous! Hard to find a Dr that cares so much about their patients. Spends time finding out not only what your concerns are but also exploring what the body can tell doing her own exams. Explaining what is going on & possible solutions to be given or tried. Exceptional care!

I've always had an excellent experience with this care provider. Dr. Elena Maserati has been available. She answers all my questions. I know how to contact her if there's an emergency or something comes up. She is thoughtful and considerate. She asks about how I'm doing personally, not just about my arthritis. So I've always felt very comfortable with her. She checks in about the other doctors that I'm seeing for related issues and makes sure that they're all on the same page. I really cannot recommend her enough. She's been an excellent care provider to me for many years. I also have had wonderful experiences with all the administrative assistants and clerks who I've worked with. They're helpful, personable.
