Patient Comments
Good
Excellent thank you
Dr. Poggio has some of the best bedside manners of any doctor I've ever seen. His professionalism and knowledge are what keep me coming back to him. I wish every doctor was exactly like him. I cannot say enough great things about him and his staff.
Dr. Poggio is a wonderful physician. He made me feel comfortable with my embarrassing situation. I would recommend him to everyone.
Good
