I was warmly greeted at the front desk by the check-in nurse, Cassandra, as I entered the office.
Dr. Robert L. Cristofaro was excellent. He was very attentive and helped explain what I had experienced. He recommended the next steps and course of treatment.
His patient care team was excellent as well. From his medical assistant, June, to the X-Ray technician, and Dennis, front desk Check-Out nurse.
I am looking forward to my next appointment. I would definitely recommend Dr. Robert Cristofaro.

Dr Cristofaro was great.
July 24, 2025Raphael D.Verified patient
Was greeted as soon as I walked in with a smile. Cassandra at the front desk was very friendly and attentive. Dr Christofaro was phenomenal. He wasn’t staring into a computer he was listening to my concerns and provided valuable information. He didn’t rush the visit and actually took time to assess what was going on with me. I felt extremely comfortable during my visit and would absolutely refer him to family and friends. I wish more Dr were like him. Even checking out with Denise was a pleasure. She greeted me with a smile and wished me the best leaving. This was my first time at the office and I must say everyone I encountered was pleasant and engaging. Made my experience great.
