      Have seen Dr. Sampanargo for 3 years for OMG. Will miss him since he no longer needs to see me due to my remission. But know I can contact him if I need to in the future!!

      Well prepared for visit. Came away with a plan of action, not just another series of tests.

      You should have an excellent ,10 rating. Dr Paul Sampognaro was up to date on my records. Sets an atmosphere that welcomes large and small concerns. Then clearly addresses each of them . Couldn't ask for more.
