Patient Comments
Excellent
I was completely satisfied with Dr. Poggio and his team.Wating on a call from Dr. Paggio office for my next appointment to help fix my problem.
Every one is friendly and kind. The doctor answered all my questions. I feel good coming here .
I felt this doctor didn't want me as a patient from the beginning. He disregarded my symptoms and pain. Didn't explain mri results that I have been notified over 3 times by the hospital because the findings were concerning. There was never a treatment plan. The treatment plan was always to just come back in another month.
This was my first time seeing this doctor and I was so impressed by the care I received and how much what we discussed has already helped me
