Dr. Thomas A. Scaletta, MD

Went in for severe back pain. Dr. treated me as if I was a junkie looking for drugs vs someone with severe back pain. He said he looked at my scans but that they were older. I had already told him I had an MRI done just last week. He never bothered to look at it but wrote in my clinical notes that he did. Sent me home with a litocain patch...for a severe back injury with a missing disc. Asked to be admitted for a shot and he said they don't do them in the hospital. What?!? He was literally useless. Nurses weren't much better, which was disappointing.

Horrible experience with this doctor. Much of the same as the others have shared. No compassion treated our mother as if she was already dead or very close to it. Showed no compassion at all. And when he got upset he literally slammed the door. Very unprofessional. Shame on Edwards- Naperville for keeping this guy around. Read what your community is saying about this doctor.

Inadequate patient care!!! Dig Down into the reviews folks on this Doctor. They don't all immediately show up. Lots of issues with this guy. Sounds like he needs some bedside manner refresher training. You go to an ER for a reason and have the expectation that you will be treated with respect and given a proper examination. If I could give a negative star rating I would You said you would come back with a referral before you left the room. Instead you were dismissive and handed me off to the nurse. I DID have more questions for you but was basically informed by Joe the nurse there was nothing that could be done Both of you were dismissive and basically treated me like I was a JUNKIE looking for pain medication. Which is funny because during my visit I mentioned the pain level but NEVER once asked either of you for pain medication!! Your communication skills are sorely lacking. THANKS EDWARDS HOSPITAL you are an epic fail in my book. Next time, I will drive all the way to Edwards Elmhurst hospital because they are more than compentent there!

Refused to treat me when I was in intense pain! He basically looked at me and said there's nothing I can do and sent me home. I have stage 4 cancer and many stomach surgeries and he didn't care! I had both my oncologist and GI doctor call him to at least administer bloodwork and a CT scan because of my past and pain I was in. He refused still! Ended up at the other Edwards Hospital ER and waited 4 hrs in a wheelchair , in pain and vomiting in a bag. The new doctor did her job and gave me something for the pain and a CT scan. Turns out I was passing a kidney stone. This doctor has no business practicing medicine! Reading many other reviews on him I discovered I'm not the only person he has done this too. I have a complaint in with the hospital and the State. Unfortunately I had to give him 1 star on here. He doesn't even deserve that!!

He was the attending ER doctor at Edward Naperville. I came in at risk of cauda equina syndrome and was told by my doctor that I needed an immediate MRI. I was left sitting in a wheelchair in pain for 2 hours. Finally brought back, ignored for another 3 hours. Snapped at by the nurses when you dare ask a question about the wait. Dr. Scaletta NEVER ONCE SAW ME. Just ordered me a pointless urine test which was probably just an excuse to drug test everyone who comes in. I finally left after the very rude nurses informed me "he won't order an MRI." What is going on at this place??? My doctor was appalled and just as confused as I was! I'm lucky to still have use of my bladder and bowels after this lack of care!
