Dr. Joseph Porepa

Dr porepa has time to listen to you when ever you go there. He delivers best for my kids we love him

I have been trying to call since 9: 30am and it is now 10: 20 and I have still not gotten through to book an appointment for my infant. They still have the weekend message on. I’m very disappointed considering that he’s a great doctor.

The pediatrician is good, but the lady at the front desk is a lazy person. It appears she doesn't know how to turn off the answering machine nor does she return any phone call. I called one time to confirm on the dates of an appointment but no response no indication the message was recieved. When I came on the wrong date thinking it was the correct date the lady indicated it was last week. I told her I called last week and I didn't even get a call back to confirm all she had for an excuse is it's busy. I looked around and I saw 2 families in the waiting room and I'm going to assume 3 families in the rooms for Joseph to conduct his duties. I'm going to make this very clear Joseph is a good pediatrician. That front desk lady is not she has an attitude always has since she started. She is not making the first interaction a positive one. When I tried to book an appointment when she chooses to grace her time to pick up the phone she is very much vague. I ask her what is available in a month she says you gotta give me a date. When I give her a date she then says it's full. Wouldn't it be easier to give me a date over the phone that is available? But hey can't go against this sorry excuse for a lazy person. Then when you challenge her she seems I'm inconveniencing her like it's her time I'm wasting. It's absolutely pathetic. Dr. Please for all that is sane and good replace this girl. She is doing you absolutely no favors. Her work ethic is below any women I k ow who wants to keep their job

His attitude is not very warming and to me, he seems to be very `cold` as a Doctor which you would think, as a Pediatrics Doctor would be warm and receptive. His receptionist is very nice and easy to talk too.

I find him a good pedia for my baby, he is a good doctor and he does what is the best for the baby. Im very satisfied how he does it. He takes good care of my child really well. That is the most important for me. 4 star for my baby's pedia

I would say he is knowledgeable and experience. He will tell you if anything concern about your child’s health. He always make sure to give baby the best medicine or treatment they need. He is not friendly, he is not your friend at all. I agree however he just do the best in his job. He is really careful doctor. I admire him for his care for my daughter and that’s all I ask for my daughter ‘s doctor

Dr. Porepa has been my child's pediatrician for 2 years, and as far as I know, he has answered all of my questions and concerns. If he hasn't answered your questions or concerns to your satisfaction or seemed insentative, perhaps the man was having a human experience? Lol. Yes, he is human, and does make mistakes like all of us. If you are looking for someone to go into great detail with you or hold your hand for all that concerns you, then you are probably better off finding a pediatrician who has just started out or doesn't hold too much experience under their belts. They will perhaps take all the time that you need?
Otherwise, Dr. Porepa is a good doctor. I think he is knowledgeable. I feel comfortable coming to his office (irregardless of how long I have to wait). Havn't had a bad experience yet.

One of the best Paediatrician in the area. The doctor is always busy and tends to make appointments short so be prepared to ask questions when you see him.

In the beginning we were looking for a paediatrician for our son and of course we wanted the best for him. After a lot of reviewing we finalized Doctor Joseph but on our first meet we didn’t felt welcomed as he was “super busy” and didn’t had time to answer his patient questions (don’t know what the doctor is for if he cannot answer or clarify anything for his patients) After that meet we thought to give more try as he was the “best doctor in the area” so we went for our son’s first vaccine to which we waited for almost 2 hours regardless of having an appointment and reaching the clinic before time. After a long wait we went ahead according to his instructions and again waited inside for 20 more minutes. Finally he came in to give our son first shot of vaccine and upon his crying he made weird faces and sigh noises.

If the doctor is paediatrician so you as a parent will have much more faith and confidence in your child’s paediatrician and upon this incident we felt that our choice was wrong and our son doesn’t deserve it. Of course a doctor is a human and you can have ups and downs but you are also taking care of children and not comforting a child or not making a connection is not welcoming. If you are “busy” then take less patients or give lesser appointments rather than making your patients uncomfortable and being seated for 2 hours. Right now our son is 2.5 years old and thank god we left Doctor Joseph after the second appointment and found one of the best paediatrician in our city!

Dr. Porepa is the very best! I travel 1 hour just to see him and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my children.

Seriously want to give him 0 star. I was happy with the reviews and the place was near so I was sure that he’ll be good and I wanted him for my baby.but my decision turns out to be wrong. Even if you have an appointment he’ll make sure that you will have to wait for him for at least an hour! When you will get to meet him (still you have to wait for him for more 15-20 minutes while your 2 months old baby is without clothes in the room as instructed during cold weather) he’ll be like let’s get going attitude.and he’ll just give the vaccinations without telling you what they are.and will not try to calm your baby at all (in starting too he’ll never try to connect with your baby. I get that we are patients but babies are babies.you’ve to treat them like babies not adults!). Then he’ll make faces when the baby cries after vaccination.

If you have some questions regarding the baby he’ll make you feel bad about it.and will try to ignore the questions by laughing at them. And will say to leave the room because he’s very busy (still the baby is crying and without clothes) I’m very confused why he’s having 3.9 starts! Worst paediatrician ever!
