I pray to God that they keep their health and strength, I will always be indebted to them. Thank you.

The residents and the medical student were both attentive to my questions and concerns. The surgeon was completely rude and blew me off, and claimed it was a slip rip, which my rib did...was a little sore. But, that was not where the pain was coming from, and...basically pretended like I was an idiot and I shouldn't have even wasted her time. So, sorry to have wasted her time. Thank you.

Dr Katy Marino gives me confidence that my outcome will be positive. She explains in both detail and simply. Her team was friendly and competent. My visits with Marino and her staff have been very helpful.

I think that when you schedule appointment, at [TIME], and you're not seen until [2 HOURS AND 15 MINUTES LATER]. Something needs to change, on how you are scheduling. Your patience. No one should have to sit in the office that long, to be seen by doctor. If your going to leave them in there that long, then you should give something to help the patient. Relax, whether it be a TV or magazines or something, but looking at a clock on the wall all day, while you're sitting there, for almost 3 hours is ridiculous. And I believe that something
