    He has always been straight forward with me but his time is rushed by previously late customers. It is not my fault, but I am punished.

    I am very pleased with the care I have received from Dr Genova, I find him caring and he really listens to me and any questions I might have. However I do not believe i am in a position to guide anyone else in their medical decisions. I also resent being asked these questions every time I have an appointment. Let me just say that I am grateful to have Dr Genova as my primary care Dr and hope he continues in this capacity. Can that be enough?
