I can't believe some of these reviews...

I can't believe some of these reviews I've been reading. I've been going to Scumpia's office for almost two and half years, and I've never noticed some of the things that are being said about her office. When...

Did this really just happen?

Dr. Scumpia is the worst dr. I have ever gone to. She was the rudest person in the office and the least knowledgable. She completely ignored me for the whole 5 minutes she was in the exam room and when i asked...

This Dr. should loose her license to practice!

Dr. Scumpia first told "I guess God wants you to be fat" as she shrugged her sholders, next visit she says oh, I was wrong you have Hashimotos disease (autoimune disease where your body kills your thyroid) and...

If you are looking for a Doctor who doesn't care, this is the place for you.

You know its too bad when a great idea goes south. I'm sure Dr. Scumpia had a vision to provide a one stop shop facility catering to the thyroid and endocrine population. Her set up is severely flawed. People...

Worst Doctor's Office in Austin

Do NOT do to this office. I found them online and asked my doctor for a referral and even my dr. questioned me on if I wanted to go. It was my own fault but I thought the location was convenient. I had to do...

Doc tells it like it is

Don't expect to be coddled. Dr Scumpia is not there to hold your hand and swap stories about the kids. She is there to assess and treat your symptoms/disease. She is professional and knowledgeable. She has...

Not a good experience

I must say that I wish wish wish that I had read the reviews here before seeing this doctor! First, I talked with a great assistant about my symptoms, test results, etc while I waited to see Dr Scumpia. The...

Do not go unless you have ALL DAY!

I have been a patient for almost 2 years now and have been several times. I was only seen by Dr. Scumpia on my first appointment and only for about 5 minutes. Since then I have never seen the same PA twice....

Did you and I go to the same Dr's office??

I've been to Dr Scumpia's office a few times now and have not experienced any of the kinds of things described in these reviews. Nor have I witnessed any hint of such things in the office. I have met with the...

Horrible Experience With This Office

There are not enough words to explain the disappointment I felt after trying to find the answers to my thyroid issues with this practice. Wow, I wished I had read all this before going. My records were lost...

Worst experience a patient can endure!

Dr. Scumpia and her staff lack proffesionalism, sympathy and any interest in their patient's health. I have been a patient of hers for quite some tme now and have only seen Dr. Scumpia ONCE!!!! Her...

Don't waste your time and money ...

I saw a different PA every time. Rarely saw the doctor. I tried to address issues with this practice and it was simply impossible. No personalized attention whatsoever.

Awful doctor! OK staff!

I agree with most everyone. I was also referred to Dr. Scumpia by family Dr who raved about her being "extremely knowledgable" with the warning that she was somewhat rude. I considered myself warned and...

I want a doctor who treats me like a person, not a number

On Dr. Scumpia's advice, I had half of my thyroid surgically removed. A week later, my hypothyroidism symptoms (including uncontrollable crying and horrible fatigue) had become just about intollerable. The...

DO NOT GO TO THIS DOCTOR

Absolutely horrible! I saw Dr. S for maybe 30 seconds and she was the rudest, coldest and inpersonal person I have met. On top of that, her staff, especially the skinny little girl at the front desk are very...

Poor patient care - find another doctor

I have been a patient for over 3 years (way too long) and the only time I saw Dr. Scumpia was on my first appointment. All subsequent appointments have been with PAs and never the same one twice (I think she...

Don't use this physician.

I am stunned with the lack of consideration and professionalism that this office exhibits. I made an apppointment a month ago with Dr. Scumpia. I re-scheduled my appointments, drove 14 miles to her office,...

Best Endo Doctor I have ever been to. She was very nice, thorough & informative along with her staff.

After 7 years of being diagnosed with Thyroid Nodules (Multi-Nodular Disease) and suffering with severe weight gain (all 80-100 pounds in a few months several years ago), feeling horrible and being UNDIAGNOSED...

Bad , bad experience

haha I've got a good story. So, I had been to Dr. Scumpia's like three times already (and I had not once seen the doctor herself) and on my last visit I was returning to hear the results of a biopsy I had...

This office does not value your time!-After wasting your time, the doc will do a drive by visit/exam.

My experience with this practice was terrible! On my first visit, I sat in the exam room for 45minutes without seeing a PA or the ever elusive Dr. Scumpia herself. When she did come in, it was simply to give...

Dr. Dubois is an amazing doctor!

I cannot speak for Dr. Scumpia or the PAs but there is now another doctor in this practice: Susan Dubois. I have been a patient of hers for several years now and find her very bright, personable, and extremely...

Horrible! Horrible! I wish I would have read these reviews prior!!! They lost my appointment then could not see the Dr. and the PA did NOT know what she was doing. It is very sad that at this day and age there...

Felt like I was in a cattle call

I spent more time in the waiting room and exam room then with a person. When I did see the dr. I felt like it was a drive by experience. When the results of my tests came in I had to ask for them and then...

Stay away from this nighmare

First of all you have to demand to meet her on the third visit and then they get mad at you for wanting to see the actual doctor. She overuses her PA's. Then she left the examination room to take 2 personal...

Good staff and doctor but the practice is too large for them to handle

Good staff and doctor, but the practice has grown too large for them too handle. The doctor and staff know what they are doing but are overwhelmed. Expect to get formal care and responses from the staff and...

Finally a Dr. who listened to me!

I highly recommend Dr. Scumpia, and this is why: she listens! No, she might not be the friendliest Dr. out there, but I highly recommend her. I was suffering for years from several different problems, going...

Bedside manner? Not here!

I was referred to her office with a warning not to expect anyone warm and fuzzy so I considered myself prepared. What I got was far beyond warm and fuzzy - she is downright mean! The office staff is friendly...

Don't expect hand holding and a smile when you walk in the door, but you will be helped and taken seriously regarding your symptoms. It took me nearly three years to get diagnosed with thyroid disease until I...

These people won't communicate with you. Maybe they take too many patients...you feel like a number there. They don't care about you...they care about the money your insurance pays them. I'm a cancer patient...
