“The staff was proactive before I came. I had sent documents from an ER visit and they called to make sure that I had made an appt. Don’t see this these days. All records were there, reviewed and ready for discussion. Dr Messina is kind, professional. She explained everything pre-op. Surgery next week. I’m an RN with 40 years recent experience…this was a breath of fresh air for today’s healthcare”
