Dr. Sanico is very personable and listens to your concerns and discusses possible solutions. He has excellent commication skills and I would recommend friends, strangers, co-workers, enemies and other medical staff to visit his office. If not for treatment, for an example of how to build a practice for success.

I didn't realize that the Allergy testing appointments are intended to take 2 to 3 hours until asking after 45 mins in. I didn't have that time today and thankfully they did push me through in about 1 hr 45 mins. Thought this would be important for others to know ahead of time!
