Patient Comments
This was my first time seeing this doctor and I was so impressed by the care I received and how much what we discussed has already helped me
Answered all my questions and was very reassuring
Dr.Poggio was very professional and addressed all my concerns.
Dr. Poggio is magnificent!! As he was explaining possible reasons for my pain, he gave clear, concise explanations that other physicians never even thought of.
Dr.Puggio was outstanding in both his professional and personal approach to my care.
