I just met Dr Giuffrida for my consultation. The treatment I received from the receptionist, the nurses and the Doctor put me at ease in order to learn about how to take care of my cancer problem. Dr. Giuffrida gave me a detailed explanation of what I have, how he intends to treat it along with options for the unknown.
His ability to explain the procedures, make the patient understand and answer any and all questions, made me realize I had made the correct choice in choosing Dr. T.J. Giuffrida and staff to take care of my skin cancer. Will post text after procedure and healing have completed.

I don’t usually do reviews. But every now and then I am treated to the kind of service that makes me feel I need to. The treatment that I got at Dr Giuffridas is one of those. Let me first off mention Jessica. She works the front desk and when I say she WORKS it, I mean it. I had talked to her the day before about a skin cancer removal. My regular dr had biopsied it but said it would be 3 weeks before he could remove. When Jessica answered the first thing I said was.. I’m sure you can’t help but .... and i explained the situation. Her only question was.. so you have been diagnosed with cancer

You have skin cancer”
When you hear those words the rest of the conversation is just a blur. This happened to me last week, and after that I spent days trying to find a doctor who could do Mohs surgery and everyone turned me away or told me I had to wait 3-4 weeks.
A friend of mine recommended Dr Giuffrida because she got her procedure done with him 10 years ago and said he was awesome; and let me tell you something, when I called I met an angel.
Jess (the office assistant) told me right away, “don’t worry about anything, I’m going to help you”. She went above and beyond and got

I feel privileged to be a patient of Dr. TJ Giuffrida. He his a calm person that does his job in a very careful way and I always felt heard and well treated as a human being. He took the time to talk with me about my concerns and performed perfect surgeries that I needed in my skin. I want to make a special mention about the Excellent attention that Jess gives from the front desk, I know that even though she is always very busy, she really takes the time to hear with attention what the client needs and makes a sincere effort so we can receive all the services and request needed on time. She is

From the moment I walked into the office I felt completely taken care of. After having a scare with basal cell carcinoma I was referred to Dr. Giuffrida for my Mohs Surgery! Jessica at the front desk is amazing. She is an great person to have welcoming patients and single handedly runs that office! She honestly a great asset. She is very professional and you can tell she likes her job just by the way she spoke to the people waiting in the waiting room. I was then taken to a room and was greeted by Samantha. She explained everything to me thoroughly about my surgery. She was professional, funny

Best doctor ever, I had a surgery on my face one week ago and feel fine as he told me. He did a great job , removed my big cyst from my face it was located near my right eye and ear but he was unbelievable skillful on my procedure. I recomend him 100 % , nurses are pretty good also never forget Amanda was very kind as well.

I guess it’s resulted to this- let’s hope I receive a response as I gave the doctor a fair amount of time to get back to me via email privately but to no avail.
Sometimes it’s not a rude or offensive doctor that ruins a patient’s opinion of a clinic rather, it’s the condescending and uneducated receptionist representing that doctor.
So, here’s what happened- on December 2nd,2020 your receptionist Jennifer made me feel like the smallest, most insignificant patient she has ever encountered in her short career. I called your office the morning of to express my concern and fear of my

By far the best doctor I’ve ever had! I had mohs surgery on my cheek underneath my eye and I was so worried about scarring .. he did an amazing job! It’s only been a couple weeks and you can’t even tell I had surgery . He is very good about answering any questions you have and he tells you exactly what he’s doing before he does it. He really cares about his patients. His staff is amazing and super helpful as well.
