Patient Comments
Dr. Poggio was an exemplary physician and listened to my concerns. He included me in the decision-making process at every step. I would absolutely recommend him to others, and I already have.

Great experience

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
