I was seen quickly - he asked a lot of questions and genuinely seemed empathetic. He was fully engaged with me during the exam and listened to me. I would very much recommend Dr. Difranza - and I look forward to seeing him next year.

been struggling with a medical problem for about a year now, have been trying to fix it stubbornly on my own, finally decided I should see a doctor and get some help.
alas
he didn't seem to believe or understand the medical problem I am seeking help to fix
believed he could persuade me that it's all in my head by taking a glance at my body and saying "you look good to me!"
gave me really poor advice
I will be switching my PCP. I wanted a doctor that would listen to me and help me solve my problem. didn't get it. moving on.

After relocating to the area I was dreading the process of locating a new primary care physician. I am so glad to have found Dr. Difranza. At my first appointment he was very easy to speak with and right from the start had a vested interest in my health. I found to be very knowledgeable in all areas of medicine.
