Patient Reviews
Aug 24, 2024
These were a low stress set off visits, including a small operation, where Dr. Amato and staff offered a positive environment and managed my expectations well. Explanations and guidance were precise and clear and the outcome met my best expectations. This may sound a bit strange but I enjoyed the visits as it’s interesting being involved with people who seem very good at what they do.
