Dr. DiCarlo is the first physician who has actually listened to me and has shown concern for my diagnosis. He has offered several options for future treatment and has been supportive of my decision not to have additional procedures.

Dr. DiCarlo always makes an extra effort to determine where my pain exists, explains it verbally and visually, discusses options for treatment and how I can help myself as well and has been quick to respond if I have any concerns.

This team is outstanding. I received pain management care at another facility for several years at [...], however, all of my encounters with this team, at Riverside, have been very explanatory, compassionate, efficient, and produced excellent results.

Dr. DiCarlo made me feel understood. I have a lot going on medically with autoimmune processes that are long Covid related. Long Covid has complicated my health in every aspect. Dr. DiCarlo took his time did a full and intentional professional assessment, and we came up with a care plan together. I did not feel rushed, and he explained things to me in a manner that was easy to process.
