Scariano, Jack E, MD West Knoxville Neurological

I went to this Doctor for a few years and put up with the long waits and rudeness of his staff only because I was able to get the medications I needed due to several surgeries I had on my back. This year his assistant who is so rude seemed to take over his office, not allowing blood work he ordered, not allowing medication and basically telling the Doctor what to do ordering more surgery against my surgeon's recommendations with much rudeness. She even said I had normal vitals on my medical records which is untrue since she rarely ever touched me since they run you through the appointments in five minutes like cattle through an auction barely remembering why you are even there. This Doctor wouldn't even give me another referral for my pain when I have a letter from him directly stating I need my medication, this is the worse Doctor I've ever been to, they don't care about you, just about money. The attendant who isn't even a nurse said they don't want to do the paperwork my workmanscomp requires and is glad I am gone and said it very mean and rudely. I don't believe there is a real nurse in the entire office. more

The office has recently moved. The new office is great. It is very clean and looks very nice. The wait time has gone down significantly and the office staff is alot different since the reviews were posted below from 2006. Dr. Scariano is one of the best doctors in the area. He has been around for a long time and really knows his stuff. He has helped me significantly with my neurological problems and I am very thankful that I found him many years ago. more

THIS IS THE WORST DOCTORS OFFICE I HAVE EVER BEEN TO. WHEN I FIRST GOT THERE THE GIRL AT THE FRONT WAS IN SUCH A HURRY AND I HAD A QUESTION ABOUT MY PAPERWORK BUT SHE SEEMED TO BE IN A HURRY AND DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO ANSWER THE QUESTION. I WAITED FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND 20 MINUTES WHICH IS STUPID. NOBODY SHOULD HAVE TO WAIT THAT LONG. AFTER I FINALLY GOT IN THE ROOM, THE DOCTOR WAS YAWNING AND I LITTERALLY THOUGHT HE WAS GONNA FALL ASLEEP ON ME. THEN AFTER HE LEFT THE ROOM, I REMEMBERED A QUESTION I WAS GONNA ASK HIM, SO I ASKED THE NURSE AND SHE TOLD ME I'D HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL MY NEXT VISIT, THAT MY TIME WITH THE DOCTOR WAS OVER AND THAT I SHOULD HAVE ASKED HIM WHILE HE WAS IN THE ROOM. I GOT TO THE GIRL WHO WAS CHECKING ME OUT AND I WAS GONNA ASK HER THE QUESTION BUT SHE ALSO SEEMED IN A HURRY SO I DIDN'T ASK. NO PATIENT SHOULD BE TREATED THAT WAY IN AN OFFICE. I HAVE A FRIEND WHO IS ALSO A PATIENT OF THIS OFFICE AND SHE HAS NOW DECIDED TO FIND ANOTHER DOCTOR. I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THIS DOCTOR AND I WILL TELL EVERYONE ABOUT MY BAD EXPERIENCE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS. Pros: THEY WERE ABLE TO GET MY APPT WITHIN 3 DAYS. BEAUTIFUL OFFICE. Cons: BAD DOCTOR AND STAFF more

This doctor is the biggest piece of trash I have ever been in contact with in my life. He is a lazy fat butt who doesn't care about his patients. I have observed so many things that he does that is against HIPPA and he treats his patients and staff like complete trash. He has miss-diagnosed people in the past and is a complete idiot. He is very obscene and doesn't care about it. He is the worst doctor I have ever seen in my life. He is a complete slob. Pros: Staff is great Cons: HE IS AWFUL more
