Doctor Richard Funaro is great.
I'm usually nervous and uncomfortable when I see new doctors but doctor Funaro made me feel comfortable and and easy from when he walked in the room and by the time my visit was over I left feel uplifted and happy to have found a doctor I feel comfortable with
So thank you Doctor Funaro.

They didn’t have my appointment in their system and didn’t know who I was. The doctor I booked was on vacation and I was told he doesn’t do Monday afternoons anymore for at least a few months, which is the time I booked. No one contacted me to let me know. Waste of a visit. I didn’t see any doctor.
