Dr scardina has been wonderful with my grandson also contacts us in emergency situations. He is a great advocate for autism. I would recommend him to.anyone.
Dr. Scardina is a brilliant doctor who has helped my grandson with Autism and ADHD for 10+ years. He is a compassionate doctor who understands my grandson's feelings and obstacles and gives him great medical advice on how to accomplish life's goals. He returns my calls quickly concerning medication or behavioral issues. I trust his advice completely on all matters concerning mental health. Dr. Scardina has lifted my spirits as a care giver many times throughout the years. His staff is wonderful and gets messages to him quickly. Dr. Scardina and staff get 5 stars and my gratitude.
We have seen Dr. Scardina for a great many years. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of medications and interactions and actively teaches parent and patient about their condition, treatment and how it affects the body. I have never doubted his level of concern for my children or his dedication to finding the perfect cocktail of meds to keep them safe. I literally trust him with my children’s lives.
I have been a patient of Dr. Scardina since I was 15 years old. I am now 33. He is truly a life saver. I live with Bipolar disorder and have been able to have my best life thanks to his care. He is very conservative with the medications he prescribes and gives them time to take effect before changing your prescriptions. He is as caring and soft spoken an individual as I have ever met and just a stand up person.
Dr. Scardina has been treating both my children for years, He is a wonderful doctor that cares about his patients. He listens to all your concerns and does everything possible to meet the patients needs. I would highly recommend Dr. Scardina.
Dr. Scardina has treated our son for ADHD for about 7 years. He is the most calm and focused individual I have ever encountered. He is very caring and addresses the patient first. After speaking with the patient, he then asks similar questions to the parent. He picked up on some physical things that may have factored into the behavior . He recommended some occupational therapy that helped. He also suggested a sleep study as our child snored. The ENT confirmed Dr. Scardina's suspicion that our child needed his large tonsils removed. I have been very pleased with Dr. Scardina and we followed him from one practice to UTHNE. Office is clean. staff is polite. Rooming nurse is excellent. He returns calls in a timely fashion. It is obvious this is his passion, not just his job.
Dr. Scardina truly listens rather than making assumptions. He is thoughtful and careful in his responses, provides options and starts conservatively with medication.
There are only 2 psychiatrists in the system in Tyler, and DR. Scardina is very good. He has helped a lot with my teen boy. The only thing I wasn't happy about was that at 15, my son had to agree to get his medical records sent to a treatment facility. He was only 15 and I thought the parents could just get it, but he insisted that my son agree to to getting his own records....so we kind of lied to our son about why we were getting his records, but he got the help he needed at the center.
By far the most patient and caring adolescent psychiatrist around. What a blessing to have a doctor of this caliber, in this field, in the Tyler area!!!
Likelihood of recommending Dr. Scardina to family and friends is 3.8421052 out of 5
