Patient Comments
Dr. Poggio has some of the best bedside manners of any doctor I've ever seen. His professionalism and knowledge are what keep me coming back to him. I wish every doctor was exactly like him. I cannot say enough great things about him and his staff.
Dr. Poggio is a wonderful physician. He made me feel comfortable with my embarrassing situation. I would recommend him to everyone.
Good
Very well
Dr. Poggio is an outstanding doctor. I was uncomfortable with my condition and he put me at ease. I will recommend Dr. Poggio to anyone who needs his type of care. He never once made me feel uncomfortable. He is the best!!
