Dr. Randy Stigliano is board certified in addiction and family practice. He has worked with MAT for 20+ years in Pennsylvania and is new to our area.

Being a part of Pinnacle is such a passion to me. In my career, I have witnessed how the struggle with opiate dependence has destroyed careers and lives. It was no fault of their own. They were injured and prescribed pills that had catastrophic psychological and physical effects, which changed the course of their lives. This experience opened my eyes and I learned that people make mistakes and everyone deserves a second chance at living a quality life. I realized that I wanted to be a part of this change!

I want to be someone who not only helps individuals overcome their opiate dependence but also changes the narrative and stigma associated with addiction and recovery. So, when Dr. Palestrant approached me with the idea of joining his team at Pinnacle Wellness Group, I immediately jumped at the opportunity. I know we can provide the help and resources that other clinics in my career couldn’t provide and I don’t want to miss out on this opportunity.
