Dr. Caricchio was absolutely wonderful!! He is a great listener and has an excellent bedside manner.
I saw Dr. Caricchio on the pulmonary floor his room assignments were scattered to the extent that 2 people who had appointments after me saw him before me. I felt the staff was not doing their job on keeping him on track!
This was a very good visit. Doctor was very attentive to my condition and concerns and very informative.
Dr Caricchio is one of the most caring and personable physicians I have ever been treated by. I view him as an asset to the Temple University Health System.
The doctor was great as always. [...]
Dr. Roberto Caricchio is the best of all he was very kind and patient to me and he gave me good advice [...]
All was good.
Dr. Roberto is very kind. He listens and takes as much time as you need.
[...] Communication with the Rheumatology Dept. is confusing. THere is no direct liaison. I have a high regard and respect for Dr. Caricchio. [...]
Doctor is very knowledgeable of me & my history.
Excellent experience overall. Dr. Caricchio was outstanding and spent a significant amount of time with me as this was my first visit with him. He was kind, respectful & knowledgeable would recommend him to anyone! Thank you.
