My experience with Dr. Roccaro was good about discussion my medical issue. However, he told me at the beginning of the visit that we did not need to even have this visit. He asked me if I proactively scheduled this appointment or if it was made after my previous appointment with him. I told Dr. Roccaro that I only made the appointment after sending a portal message asking if a follow up was needed and was told via portal message that it was. So the visit was basically a waste of time and money. It only lasted 5 minutes. Again, Dr. Roccaro was very pleasant and professional during the visit. My suggestion is to have better communication between the physician and the persons answering the portal messages to prevent this from occurring. |

Wow! What an amazing, intelligent doctor that Dr. Giorgio is! Really knowledgeable, but also put me at ease about the reason I was in his office! Some doctors have the "God-like" attitude where they feel the patient is beneath them or can't understand their words or explanations, but not Dr. Giorgio!! I immediately felt relaxed in what was a serious appointment when he came in! And took time out of what I am sure is a very busy day to listen to me then answer questions in a manner I understood and gained information from! Thank You, Dr. Giorgio!! |
