Vincent Sghiatti, MD

If you like sitting around in the world’s dirtiest waiting room for 45 minutes without actually seeing a doctor, this is the place for you.

I had never taken a pain pill in my life. This doctor purposely hooked me on Oxy so that after a few months, he would skip the insurance and demand $ 300 cash for my «fix» every month.
I was hooked for 10 years until I found a doctor with a painless detox. I never took another Oxycontin since, but I lost ten years of my life.

I am glad that I found Dr. Sghiatti. He’s been great in trying to help me deal with a recent health problem thats been bothering me. My health insurance plan wasn’t the best and I found that their office was accommodating with my budget. I feel that he genuinely cares about his patients which is the most you can really ask for in any Dr.
FYI: you can park at the Ralphs and walk over if you really don’t want to pay for parking.

He’s a fine doctor, with a good education and board certified. I also really like Dr. Shreiber. I have had years of professional care from these doctors.

This is the worst doctor experience I have had. I’ll keep it brief. I went in with a serious health incident that kept me out of work for a while involving temporary blindness. He pulled out his prescription pad without even looking at me and starting writing me prescriptions for Tranquilizers as well a new experimental drug to make more work harder at work… He then was shocked that I wanted to find out the cause of this and that I didn’t want drugs. After not getting the prescriptions. he is refusing to read me my test results over the phone. Which is my right they are my test results. I have called over 10 times and they tell me the same thing which is clearly a command given to them. «we just received your results doctor Sghiatti will call you around 3.» Just enough time for you to call back asking why he didn’t call so they can then say, «well he might be able to call right before we close» and then they close only to deflect another person refusing to pay to see that quack again. I just want my damn results! But who knows! Maybe he’ll call tomorrow at 3…

Caveat Emptor! Concur with other one-​star reviews.

The office staff is great, wish them well. The parking is a rip off too Free parking across the street at the public library.
Horrible physical, co-​pay for results in an office visit? Popped me full of pain pills and never truly addressed the root cause and ways to correct it… other then come use a machine to stimulate the muscles, problem is the bone doc, the bone.
After countless fruitless visits I went to visit a real Dr. who told me to get off the pills, unless I want Liver damage later in life and about the machine I was utilizing in his small office. Even my new Dr. said…“SCAM“
But at the end of the day, I’m in collections from this office to the tune of a few hundred while in discussions about said treatments?
Good luck Doc
You totally suck!

This doctor is local; ample parking; well-​staffed; he’s reasonably pleasant; he seems to know what he’s talking about; I like his people; he takes walk-​ins with acute problems; not much of a wait usually; he accepts my Anthem card. Seems like all that’s good enough.
Yeah, the building is so ugly and yeah, his office needs an updating, but I don’t have to live there — I’m only there to see a professional for as brief a time as possible.
It’s all good. If I wanted a Beverly Hills style experience, I’d find a doctor there.

Like other reviewers here, I have had an extremely negative experience with this office and would give ⁰⁄₅ stars if it were an option.
I went in to have my ears checked early February — a simple procedure. The office did not go through my insurance for billing (unfortunately at the time I was a bit naïve and let them charge my credit card). They then overcharged me as if I were not in their insurance network (which I am). It took two months to get a partial reimbursement after countless phone calls. They use a shady third-​party billing company which clearly doesn’t keep accurate records (if it keeps them at all, honestly they just don’t care). Finally was able to have them mail me a check for the difference.
A few weeks later, I got an invoice in my mail for the same visit which they had overcharged me for originally! I called them up and they claimed I did in fact have a balance on the account. Just faxed in the original receipt and am waiting to see what happens.
Do not ever go to this practice — they will try to screw you.

Dr. Sghiatti has been our family physician for years. He is a very caring and well-​experienced doctor who has taken great care of my family and all our medical needs. He is also very connected and only refers us to only the best specialists for whatever we may need.
It looks like there are a lot of people who don’t understand the difficulty of being a doctor who runs a very small private practice in the times we are in. His straight-​shooter attitude and calm disposition can be perceived by some in the wrong way, but rest assured he is a doctor who has treated a plethora of patients from around the world and is very experienced as medical doctor.
So what if his lab coat was stained when you met him or if he doesn’t possess resemblance to Brad Pitt. Whats important to know is that he’s an experienced physician — Dr. Sghiatti runs a medical practice, not a fashion week production.
All in all, he is good at what he does, he’s knowledgeable, and he has a genuine heart. In my opinion, these are the things that matter the most.

Avoid this guy at all cost.
I went to him because he was the closest doctor in my network at the time. Seeing his dirty white lab coat should have been a warning sign. I got an annual checkup which included a prostate exam. It was the most painful thing I’ve ever experienced because he was too cheap to use lubricants (ouch!). In addition, I asked for several additional test that were never done.
In addition, he said at the time of the exam that I was required to come back in and get the results (regardless is there was nothing wrong). What he really meant was that he wanted to bill me and the insurance company for additional dollars for an office visit instead of just letting me know the results over the phone like any other doctor had done in the past.
Also, he tried to get me to come back in an additional time after a couple of weeks to check if my cholesterol went down (which wasn’t that high). Needless to say, you don’t want to come in again after such a short period of time for something that takes time to lower (and wasn’t that high in the first place).
The office tried to overcharge me for the annual exam. I had to have my insurance company call them to act on my behalf. Several times his office told the insurance company that he would take care of the issue that same day and never did.
After going through all of these issues, I called and told the person at his front desk that I would leave a review on Unilocal.Her reply was «go ahead». I guess some people know nothing about customer service.
Never again with this guy or his office!

I was going to leave this guy alone since it seems he treats a lot of older folk and they don’t know any better… BUT.
I went to him because he was the closest Dr in my network. My mom works in a pharmacy in the neighborhood and said he’s been around for a while so I felt a bit more comfortable going to him. Physically, the office is in crappy shape — I’ve seen nicer veterinary practices than this place. OK whatever I can handle that.
I saw Dr Sghiatti a few times, but 2 instances come to mind that I wasn’t too please with. I had a cough that wouldn’t go away about 2 years ago and almost instantly as I’m telling him my symptoms, he’s taking out a coupon for an antibiotic I’m sure he get’s residuals from based on how much of it he prescribes. It was like he was waiting for me to take a break from speaking to shove this coupon in front of me. Whatever, not really a surprise from Dr’s in America.
The second time I went to him for a shoulder injury. He gave me the standard anti-​inflammatory meds and wanted me to come back a couple times a week to use this machine I’d have to pay 40 bucks to use. Seemed gimmicky to me so I never went back to him.
Almost exactly 1 year after seeing this guy I get an invoice in the mail for injections that I never received. They’re trying to charge me for a Foramen injection that I never received. Foramen is radio-​translucent meaning, it’s injected in an area of your body and when you take an x-​ray, that area will be all white so you can see the vascular system. Stuff like that. I worked in the medical field for 10 years so bad news for Doc I know what I’m talking about. In addition to this injection, they’re charging me multiple times for using that ultrasonic device for my shoulder, when I paid cash for it when I was there.
This place is a joke of a practice. Go somewhere else.

A very professional doctor, who is not the most talkative, but still is very kind to his patients. Always takes the time to listen and is not someone who is just out to make a buck. Yes the office is not the most modern, but I have been to doctors with gleaming offices and they are either quacks or overcharge the hell out of you.
Would definately recommend.

He gets one star because zero isn’t an option. As soon as I walked in for my physical (he was the closest doctor that was in my network), I got the feeling of decay, negativity and neglect in the office. It was just a feeling in the air. The doctor seemed to not care less about seeing me and was clearly just going through the motions. The staff was jaded and uninterested. And months later, I still get phony invoices from them trying to get money out of me that I don’t owe.
Don’t got here.

Don’t go here unless you want to wait an hour to be seen. I’ve been waiting 45 min to see the doctor and it’s only 10:30am so they can’t be running that far behind. They seem to schedule about 10 people on top of one another and it takes the staff about 30 min to verify your insurance.
When I finally saw the doctor, he creeped up on me with a stethoscope, probably so he could bill his insurance for giving me a physical. The overall experience was very unpleasant. Plus, it’s 5 bucks for parking. Trust me find another doctor.

I quickly looked online for a physician in my neighborhood to quickly get a physical and this office was close so I was hesitent, but I dropped in.
Not a bad wait, but Dr. Sghiatti was short with his assistent and quite condescending to her. This was after she and I had an extensive discussion while she pretty much kept me company until he came in. He was quick and short with his questions leaving me feeling like he could care less about me as a patient. This was shocking considering I was new to this office and thinking they might want to gain new business.
I paid my copay and left. I was told to come back in a week to get my results.
I came back for quite literally 4 minutes of updating me with all my results and then preparing to leave, the office assistent asked for my copay. I explained that I didn’t feel that was fair because I was just getting my results and that didn’t warrant an actual visit to pick up the paper with the data on it. She got the Doctors approval to waive the copay and I was on my way.
Fast foward, 3 months later, I get a letter stating am 90 days late on an amount equal to 2 copays. I was beside myself. So I went to the bank to get a copy of the first check and walked into the office to express my concern. I was told to return 2 days later to talk to the «right» person. Finally, they took my documentation of the first payment and the lady suddenly remembered our agreement from the 2^nd visit.
What a hassle for a simple physical. I will find better when I need a check up and definately someone I feel comfortable with having all my personal info and health data. Maybe I will have a consultation before I make any further appointments.
