When you visit this type of doctor you have alot of anxiety (at least I do) by the time I left I was so relaxed and at ease, I've never had a more comfortable experience going to a doctor. I would recommend this doctor and practice to anyone having similar issues to mine. Can't say enough good things about everyone there
Dr Poggio is an outstanding physician. I would recommend him to my family and friends. He listens to all your concerns and gives you a plan to help you get better.
Surgery couldn't have gone any better. At post surgery appointment he welcomed questions, provided clear information on what to expect in short and long term and what followups would be needed.
