Santo Paniello, MD

Dr. Paniello is clearly popular as the waiting room is always full of patients. I was referred by someone who also has a great deal of trust in his wisdom and care. I find him to be just right in his suggestions and timing of tests. My only complaint is that often the phones are not answered and the office staff up front seem to be in some kind of war on who will not answer the telephones and who will not be helpful over the phone. I often wait 25 minutes in loop on the answering machine.

I was all ready to make another appointment with Dr. Paniello who I adore but found out by looking online he is no longer with FMC. I am so disappointed and angry that his office didn't let his patients know about him leaving the practice and going elsewhere. I am supposed to have a mammogram and pap smear along with the obvious check up within a month or two and now I have to find someone else. I am upset with all of this. I finally found someone that I trusted and liked a lot. It would have been nice if his patients got a letter stating he was leaving. Sorry about this but I had to vent,

Dr. Paniello is THE BEST! When I was pregnant with my daughter I went through a Midwifery/Birthing Center. I had went to the hospital MANY TIMES due to different scares (Couldn't find kidneys and running out of Fluid just to name a few). Every time I went, Dr. Paniello was my doctor. After the first few visits, whenever I had to go, my midwife made sure that the hospital she called to send me to had him working at that time. His bedside manner was the best! He helped me stay calm, answered all of my questions thoroughly, made me feel seen and heard. Thankfully I was able to give birth with my midwife at the birthing center but if I had to go to a hospital, I would have made sure I went with him. He was the absolute best! If I can't do a birthing center for my next pregnancy, I will definitely have him has my OB/GYN!! I recommend him to everyone who asks me about where to go for OB/GYN!!!

Having a friendly staff and being a nice person are great and all, but when you are having health issues that you don’t understand, you are going to want Dr. Paniello. I had come to him for a second opinion after hearing some scary news. He took a look and was able to identify the actual cause in one visit. His experience and wealth of knowledge saved me a lot of stress and money on procedures that I didn’t need. I highly recommend Dr. Paniello for anyone wantinh a doctor that has knowledge beyond the birthing of babies, though I have no doubt he’s great with that too.
