I have recently returned back to seeing Dr. T! He is very prompt at getting me an appointment. Drew and him make a great team! I always feel comfortable when I’m there. I would recommend him to anyone that is local!

Dr. Turchiano and his entire staff are accommodating, pleasant, caring, and vastly knowledgeable. Often times we go to the doctor and we're faced with a boring waiting room that makes us dread the experience, but not there, Dr. Turchiano's office is warm and welcoming and with it's stone fire place, television, wooden floors and comfortable furniture, you feel like you're in a hotel or right at home with family rather than just another doctors appointment. I totally recommend him, being his patient is a solid A experience.

Honestly John Turchiano and his staff are amazing! I don’t consider this office a doctors office, I consider it a family. They gave me inspiration to get off of drugs and they found out I had Lyme Disease before I even had the symptoms of it by my bloodwork. Doctors don’t normally test for Lyme unless you are symptomatic but this doctor is on top of the ball! I’ve NEVER had a better doctor in my life and I’ve gone through many doctors. It truly was a blessing to find this doctor!

Best doctor ever. He truly cares deep down about all of us patients. He is always on top of and responsive to all my medical needs. Truly a kind, gentle man. Grateful to be under his care.

Very interested in solving problems. Focused on prevention and wellness. I’ve been a patient for 13 + yrs. I have never been disappointed with his diagnosis and referrals. A great primary care resource.

This guy is amazing. Never thought people like him exist. He really cares about his patients and is willing to go out and beyond for them. I highly suggest and recommend people to have DR. Turchiano as a primary care physician.

He is a scam artist! My husband was brought in for FOUR doctors visits in the time span of 4 months. He called before his physical to ask if he should get blood work first, and was told no; he should come in first (that was billed to insurance). Then he was sent for blood work, where apparently the doctor orders every test possible- fifteen different tests were ordered for a healthy male in his 40s, when all of this blood work was done the year before). The recommendation as per the state of Illinois Department of Health (I can't find anything on Connecticut's site) is that blood work be done every 2 years, so I am not sure why all those tests were ordered for a healthy individual every year. He was then brought back for a visit to review the results (billed again to the insurance). Then he was brought in for ANOTHER visit, within two weeks for an unnecessary abdominal ultrasound (the recommendation is that this be done for males between the ages of 65 and 75, if you are a smoker... neither of which apply to my husband). When called to complain about this, we were informed that we shouldn't have been charged for that. However, if we didn't complain, we would have paid the bill and never would have been the wiser! Furthermore, at this visit, he was offered some type of "health counseling" (which should have been conducted at the initial physical, if it is to happen- or at the patient's request). I am of the opinion this was done, once again, for the profit of the practice, not the well-being of the patient. (when I called about this, I was then told he was brought back in to follow up on the Lyme (not the health counseling I was originally told) he had tested positive for, however, I still don't understand why this was done BEFORE the follow up blood work was performed to see if the antibiotics were effective. When this point was raised, I was then told, oh we check to see how the patient is feeling (as if this couldn't be done with a simple phone call). Follow up blood work was done after this unnecessary appointment, and an additional visit, rather than a simple call, was required to let my husband know his results were back to normal. Furthermore, when my husband went in for this last visit, he asked if he was getting charged for the appointment, and was given the flip response from one of the receptionists, "What do you care? Your insurance is paying for this."

You can see from the attached spreadsheet how much this doctor is billing insurance due to unnecessary appointments and tests!
Needless to say, my husband is changing doctors and I am filing a complaint with the state health department. It is more than a shame that someone you are supposed to trust isn't looking out for your best interest. Healthcare in this country is a trainwreck, and overbilling doctors are part of the problem. While one may not pay directly at times for this, with insurance, ultimately, every does pay in their premiums etc!
