“When I first arrived, I was greeted by friendly staff. My wait was not long. Dr. Cussatti listened to my concerns and explained everything fully. He had some tough information to share with me and did so with care and kindness. He then offered encouragement for me. We discussed both short term and long term possibilities I again was faced with a competent and friendly staff when I was leaving after setting up my next steps.”
