Dr. Sam A. Skaff ,, ,FAAP, Clinical Instructor in Pediatrics,WVU School Of Medicine, M.D.

Dr Skaff’s  is the pediatrician of my kids since 2017 and his approach is impecable and extremely accurate specially with my premature daughter! Can’t recommend him enough, he’s the best

I have been visiting  this doctor for 3 month with my newborn. She has issues gaining weight and all he said is that I have to tried harder and give me appointment 3 times a week. I had too many appointments with this doc and he always look distracted, never remember the patient, never listen to me, he always make the same questions. He order some blood test and I did it right away, a week later he told me that he want to do blood test, please take time to read patient record before getting into the room.  Finally he started panicking and want me to see a geneticist without any criteria, I said OK but let's see what the nutritionist has to said first. Well he call me the day after at 11 pm to make me go to the geneticist  the next day, when I said that I could not make it he rush me to do it, and finally told me to find another pediatrician. Very rude and unprofessional. If I have to guess I think that he did not paid attention or do anything about her weight because he was billing me and my insurance 3 times a week, but after things did not improve he get in panic. Do a favor and go with somewhere else who actually cares about your baby.

This dr was recommended through a friend as  he is a great doctor. 

At first when we started seeing him in 2015 he was a new dr to the area. He seemed to know what he was doing based on the reviews provided from his old office. And he is a good dr however the way his office is run and the way he does things is just out of my comfort zone. 

My daughter was in need of a specialist appointment that required the dr office to complete the referral I've waited 1 1/2 months to get the form and it still not available for me . finally decided to switch Drs.


Also, this dr does excessive billing. I have great insurance, and with any of the previous dr I've taken her too even specialists never had an outrageous patient responsibility bill till I started Going to this office. He doesn't control his billing they have a 3rd party that does it but that's not an excuse to be billed this way . 


I asked my friend if she gets the same bills and she complained as well as her bills were even bigger than mine.


Also, wait times are excessive at least 45 mins to an hour.

Overall he a good dr. He explains everything if he can just get his office to run smoothly I would of stayed but I don't have time to wait and call every other day to get a referral
