    1. He LISTENS INTENTLY to ALL his patients. You have his UNDIVIDED during your visit with him. His EXCEPTIONAL bedside manner is a rarity these days!!! (Something new doctors may be lacking) 2. He identifies the patient's health problem / problems and concerns quickly and efficiently !!! 3. Orders all test and lab work IMMEDIATELY... 4. He contacts patients ASAP when the results are sent to him. (even after hours when urgent) 5. He may be an older doctor, but WITH AGE COMES WISDOM ! 6. He treats all his patients with the highest regard and respect , and least I forget KINDNESS... 7. He is so astute as Primary Care doctor, I believe he would qualify as a CONCIERGE DOCTOR , 8. He has a great sense of humor !

    Great guy, he was able to spend the time to discuss my issues. Providing examples from his history. Spoke clearly and had a sense of humor about him. Love this guy, he was like Dr. Pepitone who I miss that he chose to retire. This doctor was like him. Don’t let him retire….ever!
