My first time visit with Dr. Anthony Panarelli was amazing. I want to first shout out the staff and his assistants because everyone was just so friendly, kind and helpful. When Dr. Panarelli treated us, he was so professional and had so much patient with my daughter who is on the spectrum and sometimes does not do well with doctors. He was able to work with her and she cooperated thanks to his care and patience. He was just so nice! I am definitely taking my daughter back again!

Dr. Pannarelli is awesome with children. He remembers details about what they say, and uses it to help them feel comfortable, get their eyes dilated and have a pleasant experience. This was a quick, efficient and painless visit for my three kids and we were pleasantly surprised.
