    Elena Massarotti was so wonderful and I can't say enough good things. She listened, she was understanding, and gave me a clear plan moving forward on treatment. I was very nervous as I had been written off multiple times, but she did a great job at redirecting and getting the correct information out of me. Would highly recommend.

    Dr Massarotti is incredible- she listens with intent and works collaboratively on a treatment plan. She cares deeply about the physical symptoms, but cares just as much about your emotional well being, especially in managing a long-term chronic disease.

    She graciously took her time with me. I struggled with the 'zoom' meeting. Dr. Massarotti persevered three times ultimately to make it work. She was amazing and so calm with a listening ear. When the storm was forecast and my in person visit was cancelled I was saddened after having waited so long. It all turned out beautifully.

    I was very pleased with my first visit with Dr. Massarotti. I felt that she was extremely professional, very knowledgeable, and I was mostly pleased that she didn't just want to write lupus down as some of my other doctors have for a diagnosis because she didn't want me to have any of my doctors going forward, just looking at that diagnosis and not looking more into my symptoms. I hope that makes sense. I was very pleased with her and I appreciate all the time that she spent with me.
