Frank Craparo's Online Review Report Card

I tried to schedule and appointment for my first visit as I’m high risk due pregnancy due to my twins sharing a placenta. They only had one appointment available for the whole month of January due to “being short staffed”. I was not able to get off of work to make this appointment so I had to cancel and have the ultrasound done at my regular OB office. I made another appointment at the same time for what is supposed to me my second visit. This visit an ultrasound was done and the tech tells me ok you can use the restroom and come back to this room and the doctor will be in to talk to you. Tech comes back and says everything is fine the doctor reviewed the images we will see you back in two weeks. I find it rude that the doctor couldn’t even introduce himself at my first visit. Where is the care? This doesn’t make me feel like they will do a good job of monitoring my babies. It’s in and out. Not how any practice should be ran. Unfortunately I might be stuck with using them due to ins.

Dr. Craparo was very informative, explained things in way we could understand and eased our concerns. We appreciated his straight-forward approach and he took his time with us. However, the ultrasounds techs could be more friendly. We're looking at ultrasounds of our baby! We hope the outcome is always positive but we're there because we are high risk. Why do I feel like we're a burden to them and they hate their job? It's hard enough to not have your spouse with you, so a little pleasantry could go a long way.

Horrible first pregnancy experience. The lack of communication between my OBs and Dr Craparo was astounding. I had been on bedrest for several weeks due to orders from my OB and when I went for my 20 week anatomy scan Dr Craparo wasn’t even aware of any complications I had been having or any bleeding that was occurring leading to bedrest. Fast forward 4 weeks later I went into preterm labor with my son and had him only 5 days later at 25 weeks weighing 1 lb 10 oz. Dr Craparo never once checked in or followed up with me. I love Abington but I have since switched OBs and will only be working with Dr Smith during my next pregnancy.

I met this doctor for one visit during a very stressful time in my pregnancy where they were ruling out pathology on my 14 week old baby via an ultrasound. His bedside manner is so pleasant. He was kind and knowledgeable. He made a truly worrisome experience so much more pleasant. Although I’m happy I don’t have to see a high risk specialist anymore during this pregnancy (hopefully), I’m so glad it was him who walked through the door during my appointment.

I had a wonderful experience dealing with Dr. Craparo. He is, in my opinion, an excellent doctor who made me feel like my baby and I were in the best hands possible. His staff, however, was extremely rude. It is ashame that such an excellent group of doctors allow the sonographers in their office to be so unprofessional.

Overall opinion of the doctor is very good, however, dealing with his staff is the WORST!!

No one answers the phone. Message says that your call will be returned in 48 hours. Are you kidding me? Staff is unfriendly. Attitudes everywhere in this office.

dr. craparo is an excellent doctor. he played a vital role in my triplet pregnancy. this was my first pregnancy and i felt like i was getting the best care from our very first appt. with dr. craparo. i also lucked out and had dr. craparo do my c section, i couldn't be happier with how things went. his staff is also great, very professional and friendly.

Dr. Craparo is very knowledgeable doctor. He was my doctor with my first pregnancy and everything that he was predicting and telling me was a true. I'm back to him with my second pregnancy and have a lot of trust to him.
