Dr DeFronzo was great in every way. He was easy to talk to, very knowledgeable, thorough, and kind. He gave a great assessment of what was wrong with me as well as the proper medicine to treat it. I will definitely go back to him. The office was very personable, it felt like the kind of practice where the doctor and the nurse really know and care for their patients.
