Actual exam was excellent. Dr. Sciadini and his PA are both great to work with. They listen to your concerns, answer your questions, and you don't feel like they're rushing you.
I am forever grateful to Dr. Scidini. As far as Im concerned he has saved my life. He has been nothing but friendly, professional & informative. Considering the job he has done on my pilon fracture, the friendliness is a bonus. He's amazing.
All personnel at Shock/Trauma are nice and kind and friendly. I take it for granted that they know what they are doing professionally because it's difficult for a patient to assess that however I can evaluate the soft things like empathy and they are excellent in this quality
