Patient Comments
Every one is friendly and kind. The doctor answered all my questions. I feel good coming here .
I felt this doctor didn't want me as a patient from the beginning. He disregarded my symptoms and pain. Didn't explain mri results that I have been notified over 3 times by the hospital because the findings were concerning. There was never a treatment plan. The treatment plan was always to just come back in another month.
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 is magnificent!! As he was explaining possible reasons for my pain, he gave clear, concise explanations that other physicians never even thought of.
