“I did not expect to see the PA . She called the Dr. Inat the end of the appt. Yes I will go back because they were both professional.”
Joyce H.April 10, 2026
“Dr. Viola is amazing!! Only major concern was that a nurse in the back was coughing her lungs out the entire time I was there. I'm a cancer patient and at high risk for illness and i did NOT feel safe in the practice knowing someone there could be actively infectious and wasnt required to stay home...otherwise, Dr. Viola was great and communicated well and gave me an actual treatment plan that I needed badly.”
