After using Scurria as my primary care physician for 15 years she is jeopardizing my life because she wants me to give her $1000 bucks. I had my final exam before she transitioned to the new "concierge" doctor format. With that annual physical came my usual prescription refills in December. Then I changed Jobs and got new health care coverage with it. The new Pharmacy Benefits Provider (Express Scripts)required copies of the prescriptions, that would not accept a transfer of those prescriptions. Scurria refused to print off copies for me unless I gave her the 1000 bucks. When I told Express Scripts they were "appalled" at her behavior and called it unethical. They called her directly and she refused them as well. Now I'm out of medications for chronic serious conditions, thank you Dr. Scurria. How do you sleep at night?

Dr. Scurria has been our family doctor since the early 90's. In all that time she has had many PA's, some better than others. Dr. Scurria has always been worth waiting for to see. We have presented many unusual symptoms over the years and she has always found the correct diagnosis and given the correct treatment. When I found a lump, she was kind and reassuring. I have never found fault in her as a doctor. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Scurria to anyone who cares about their health and wants a GOOD doctor with well-rounded knowledge. ...read more
