Rheumatology Expert!
It was thorough as usual. I praise Dr. Magaldi for his expertise in providing caring treatment for my rheumatoid condition. I have been a patient for this chronic condition for many years and Dr. Magaldi has effectively cared for each and every stage of my medical condition. When necessary he orders tests, e.g., Bone Density, CTSCANs on my Rotator Cuffs and Cervical/Back disorders. He intently listens to the current pain level I am experiencing and prescribes medications together with physical therapy treatment where indicated to reduce my chronic pain. He thoroughly evaluates my needs and orders an appropriate referral to a specialist where surgery is indicated. All of Dr. Magaldi’s care is provided with genuine concern for his patient’s wellness and quality of life. He is not only an expert in the treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis but a gentle, kind and caring man. I am so thankful to have him for my doctor!!!

A very thorough and thoughtful doctor
Dr. Magaldi is a wonderful doctor. He listens to you concerns, he examens you, he reviews your history and then he digs a little deeper. He’s not an alarmist and he talks to you about your disease and suggests what you can do to help your symptoms. I feel very fortunate to have found him.

Dr.Magaldi couldn’t of been more informative and able to understand than he was…What a gift in a doctor ….To care about you as a person and to explain things without feeling rushed..He is very knowledgeable , He understands why you are there and what questions you might have….IF he was an internist I would happily have him for my PCP….I only hope if he is teaching new doctors in any field of medicine that these young people really listen to him and not only learn the science of medicine but humanness and kindness of his approach…….

Dr. Magaldi is a fantastic doctor who I highly recommend. He helped me get to the bottom of a myriad of symptoms that I was having when other doctors kept brushing blood work and symptoms off as nothing. He conducted a through blood panel and found out what was going on with me. It was so nice to have someone actually listen to me instead of disregard me. He is an excellent doctor.
