She is one of the most caring doctors I have been to in my 76 years. If she feels that you need to see a specialist she has sent me to very experienced doctors.

Dr Samitas is a great Dr. Listens and follows up on any tests, and results. Thorough in going over all necessary, takes times and doesn't rush. More Drs should take cue from her. I was so fortunate to find a good Dr after seeing many not so good ones! I travel to see her.

Dr. is excellent and why I am willing to put up with he less than excellent staff. Not all the staff is either disinterested or downright rude, but a few bad apples leaves a distinct sourness in the mouth.

Dr. Samitas is the absolute consummate professional health care provider. She is the reason why I continue to get my health care needs addressed at Osler medical!!!! There is no finer a doctor to have care for you than her in my opinion!!!!! The old cliche', " afraid to go to the doctors" unequivocally does not apply here. Osler Medical Group would do well to keep her.
