Been with Dr. Occhipinti many years now. Everyone is his office has always gone the extra mile to help me. From the moment you walk in the door you are greeted with a smile. His nurse always very prompt, I have also seen the PA, Chan 100% also! I have NEVER felt rush or felt like I have wasted his time, never felt he was running to the next room. If you are looking for a SOLID doctor and staff this is the place for you A+

I've have been a patient of Dr. Occhipinti since the death of Dr.Morris Weisler, whose practice he took over, and who was my physician for almost 25 years. He has proven to be one of the nicest and most caring physicians I've ever known. He too, like Dr. Weisle.r has the nicest bedside manners ever. He comes highly recommended. To prove the aforementioned statement, I've sent many family members and friends to him and all have been thoroughly satisfied.
