My annual appt was shifted only because of short staff demands. Early notification and I had no health challengers. These folks have been great, open to questions, reviewed blood test scores then checked again after learning I had broken an arm with resulting surgery. Excellent help.

Everyone in Dr DiPerna's office is informed, friendly and helpful. Dr DiPerna is wonderful with answering my questions and explaining how to best maintain my health - in language I can understand! He also engages me in considering next steps. As an aside, the Patient Portal is an easy way for us to communicate, and I have always received timely responses to questions or to information I provide through it.

Our Kidney Doctor is a really friendly and understanding doctor. He is very caring with my mom and offers support however needed. I do however wish thw hospital would do something about the parking situation ha ingredients to make lap after lap around trying to find a spot is very difficult and time consuming.

The doctor and his staff are a wonderful group of people. Very professional and knowledgeable while being understanding and kind. Let's face it, no one likes to go to a doctor, it can be stressful. But these guys try to make it a much more positive experience. And I am thankful for that. Thank you very much

Med assistant did not express sympathy when I mentioned my son's recent death. Seemed more interested in documenting my vitamins. The doctor was approachable and considerate, but unconcerned about minor symptoms and weight loss. After referral from pcp I was told practice was booking out until December! As a retired nurse and kidney donor I am continually disappointed in our medical system.
