First I must share, I am skeptical about the process of finding a new doctor of any kind, simply because I don't know who I would get and when in dire need, gambling is scary. Proximity and availability was all I had (ZocDoc).
I liked Dr. Vito's (La Puma) profile; it gave me a good vibe. He answered the door and I felt welcomed right away. His smile, demeanor and energy is undeniable, like a celebrity. The office is extremely clean and bright. The receptionist is pleasant and patient. I brought my 14yr old son in for a giant ingrown toenail he's had for over a year. It hurt to walk. This was our third doctor in six years. Dr. Vito's terminated that problem and now my son can resume sports and walk in stride. We were in and out in less than an hour. Thank you Dr. Vito, I pray every doctor can follow your style and personality.
